A review of "Animal Farm" by George Orwell

This is a book I had to read at school for a grade, at first I was sceptical about the story, but reading it more and more I really did see the story behind it.

It is so weird how much alike is this book to the real world, how much it reflects in our lives. I read about it and I got confused. How can one author describe life as a farm and people as animals. The whole book is based around animals; their right for a better life by earning that my themselves; their courage to banish humans from the farm, claim it theirs and prove to others that they are capable enough.

It also shows how others can use each other, how someone who is smarter is playing with the less knowledged one, how ones can uses others because of their kindness, hard work, love for life, but they use it without the kind ones actually realizing it. At the end it is really hard to see which one is worse - a pig or a human.

I am truly, madly, deeply in love with this book because it is not fiction. It shows reality, life, characters in a bright and shining light. It shows how someone can change once they have power in their hands, how ones can use others, how it is important to stay yourself no matter what you have to go through, how you have to work hard to earn what you truly want, you have to live for yourself and not others. It is real life. So is.

I am in love with one sentence that as written at the very end - ''The ones that were standing outside were looking through the window inside. They looked at a human, then to the pig, then to the human and back to the pig again, but to identify which is which wasn't possible.''

A lot of people doesn't like this book because of the meaning behind it. I am a fan of those kind of books, so it was an amazing read for me. I want to encourage reading this book to those people who love reality, who love a message behind a story, a message that is so real you can't stop thinking about it.

I guarantee that I am going to read this book after few years to see what I think then. It'll definitely be interesting.
