Animal Farm

I have read this book three times, coz of annotation, reading guide and summaries. The first time I read it, I found it interesting but after reading it several times, it became boring. Its just about a farm of animals who got inspired to rebel against humans by a prized boar-Old Major. They achieved the rebellion but the first sign of greed in the pigs was shown when Napoleon-Berkshire boar took away the cow milk and declaring that all milk and apples was to be reserved for them. Plus, they didn’t work, the other animals did. The pigs just supervised la. Then Squealer came up with explanations (merely abusing his speech capability). Some animals were troublemakers e.g. Mollie (white mare), Moses (tame raven) and the cat. Worse still, they do nothing, just eat and sleep. Many events followed. The humans returned to regain control over the farm, the Battle of the Cowshed was fought. Then Snowball came up with ideas for the windmill and Napoleon opposed. Realizing that he could not gain support from the animals he unleashed his dogs. His long termed planning helped him. Snowball was expelled from the farm, Napoleon gained total control. His dogs and sheep ended all protests. New rules such as abolishing of debates and meetings were set as Napoleon didn’t want opposition. Napoleon engaged in trades with humans through Whymper (human). The humans returned again with larger manpower and guns. The windmill was destroyed, many animals were killed and all were wounded. The humans lost but the animals had lost their kind too. Boxer the most hardworking horse was injured and the pigs sent him to the Knackers for money to buy a case of whisky. They had a meeting with man, played cards and indulged in beer. An argument broke out. Now pigs and man could not be differentiated. Thats a short summary of it. I find it more interesting fo it to be short.
