Animal Farm to the Real World
In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell, Old Major decides that the animals need to restablish there own bond against the humans. This phrase has a allegorical meaning because the animals are thinking like a civilization and tried to act more humanly by breaking themselfs apart from there true owner. This represents the American Revolution because just like in that revolution the Americans broke apart from there true owners which in that case were the British. In Addition, mankind has never acted like that of a animals. Americans wrote a paper saying to leave but the animals just ragged and took over. Even though most stories about animals are written for children, I think that this story is mainly for the teen level of reading, because of the cruelty and the vocabulary. I liked this story it was good for this class.

Marcos, avoid writing slang. By the way, how did the animals try to "act more humanly"? Refresh my memory--what were the commandments?
