Animal Farm

I have recently read a book that is called Animal Farm and it's by George Orwell. It was copyrighted on August 17, 1945 and it’s a fantasy book. It is about how animals rebel against their farm owner, motivated by a song called The Beast of England. So the book is mainly focused on how the animals survive. They create law and some animals learn to read and write. They build a windmill and then they decide to perfect it. They had to find out how to break stones without using tools. They end up finding out that they can just drop the rocks to break them. The overall theme of this book is pride because the animals show a lot of it.

The story is told in the third person or told by the author. This book is about how some animals survive after they kick their farm owner out of the farm. The intended audience is not classified for any age group; it's classified by the amount of imagination someone has, if you have a lot you will want to read this book. This book is a dystopian animal fable because the book has talking animals. The author kept me interested in the book because the animals kept on getting human-like problems. The author is friendly or simply talking about what happens in the book so I think that it’s a good way to talk to the intended audience.

The book affected me because it made me smile and it brought out the imagination in me, which I liked. I used to think that humans were the only smart animals on the earth but now I think if there were no humans some other type of animal will rise and dominate the world. I am pretty sure that if there were no humans the world would be much different. This is a book with talking animals that go through real situations so this kind of reminds me of a sophisticated version of some of my preschool books like Clifford and Winnie the Pooh.

I would like to commend the author, on how the book brought out my imagination. That was a big surprise for me. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants him or her to release their imagination.
