Animal Farm #1


          For my classic, I will be reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. This book has received countless accolades in its existence. This will be the first book I have read by George Orwell, but from what I have heard about him, he is famous for his books on dystopian societies. Several people I know have read this book. They have told me that this is also a book on a dystopian society. George Orwell uses a farm and its animals as an Allegory for the Soviet Union in the Russian era under Joseph Stalin. This book is a vey short read, at just over 100 pages, however, I would guess that it will be a difficult read due to how much symbolism will be involved. The predictions for this book are pretty obvious, considering that it is based on a true story, so I will be reading more to enjoy the rich literature in this novel than for the unexpected twists.
