Animal Farm by George Orwell
‘All animals are equal but some are more equal than
others’ is probably the most known quote of this book.
Many of us have studied this book in school and it is
just as relevant today as when it was written.
Orwell’s cleverly written satire parallels human and
animal behaviour using animals in a farmyard where
all animals live free from human tyranny. Over time,
the pigs become the bosses and manipulate the
language to control the other animals. The gullibility
and self-destruction of followers and leaders is
demonstrated powerfully in this story. It shows how
easy it is for those in power to change the rules and
morals using specific language which in turn changes
the social fibre of the community.
This book, told from the animals point of view, is an
easy read yet with an uneasy storyline. The animals
could easily be transposed to represent political figures
of past and present. (Rocky River ‘Riters)
