Animal farm

Hi,
So after so many days of this book lying on my shelf, I finally picked this book up to read. And I am very happy that I read it.
Animal farm is a novella which to be said is based on 1917 Russian Revolution. But because I don't know much about Russian Revolution or communism, I didn't read this book with that perspective. Instead I read this as a story of hunger of power, of entity,of naive dreams and hopes.


The story starts with in a farm called the "Manor farm" which is owned by Mr. Jones. And there are so many animals living and working for him. But one night, a boar called "Old Major" calls out every Animal and tell them about a dream that he had seen last night, a dream of a world without humans, and tell all the animal to start a rebellion against the owner and start to live free, free from every boundaries.
Few days later Old Major died. But his words still remained in The farm. All the animals were filled with passion to start a rebellion against the owner and threw him out of the farm. And eventually that did happened. Mr Jones was gone and now the Manor farm was "Animal Farm". For few months everything was right and every animal on the farm was living their best life. Eating anytime they want, working for themselves and not for any human's profit.
Suddenly Snowball the boar became who used to use his mind for the betterment of the farm. He taught animals to read and write. And the other boar called Napoleon taught them about Animalism. They adopted seven rules of Animalism.

After the battle of cowshed, the popularity of snowball increased. Napoleon started to be against snowball's thinking. Whatever snowball used to say, Napoleon was always against him. And after few days Napoleon chased snowball away from the farm and declared himself as leader.

After this whatever Napoleon said was accepted by the animals because they thought that whatever Napoleon doing was for the betterment of the farm and if after his some cruel or selfish decisions, any animal dare to ask anything, Squealer, anpther pig and servent of Napoleon make them understand That whatever happening was for the betterment of the farm.
All the animals worked so hard throughout these years and were not getting enough food as compare to what they used to get because of their blind trust in Napoleon and they always thought that their life was much better now then thr life they were living under jones rule.
Slowly Napoleon started to behave like a dictator and had made rules according to the convenience of all the pigs and his pet dogs. While the whole farm was getting weaker every passing day, the pigs were becoming fatter and fatter.

He started making deals with humans as well when it was strictly forbidden by all animals. There is my favorite line in the end which says "The creatures outside looked from pig to man and from man to pig and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which".

I liked the whole story . I like all the animals, and i felt so sorry for all of them. But at the same time i was like, how can you trust someone that much. I specially felt so bad for "Boxer", the horse. He was my favorite character. But i hated Napoleon. And Squealer was not less.
So i can say i loved this story. It is a very short and quick read because it's a very engaging story.
And it is depicting a revolution which i don't know about and now my curiosity has increased to know about that.
I will let you guys know if i ever read about the russian revolution and its connection with animal farm. But you should read this book.
