Animal Farm and 1984
Animal Farm and 1984 | George Orwell, A.M. Heath

ANIMAL FARM George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture. It is the account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm--a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that proves disastrous. The climax is the brutal betrayal of the faithful horse Boxer, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But some Animals Are More Equal Than Others. . . . 1984 In 1984, London is a grim city where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.

These two stories were good but also scary how easy it seems to come to that state. Definitely feel like we should be learning from these stories and not letting hate control people. All in all very good

Animal Farm and 1984 | George Orwell, A.M. Heath

After listening to an episode of the #BunnyEars #Podcast, I was inspired to read #AnimalFarm. I don‘t think it was one of my required reads when I was in high school, but I am sure at the time I wouldn‘t have read it anyway. I am eight chapters in and really enjoying it. I can also say that I would have appreciated it as much back then as I do now.

I had read Animal Farm before, but this was my first time for 1984. I loved 80% of 1984, only so-so on the last 20%. But over-all I'm glad I read them. Now I need something cheerier for sure though.

Look what I ordered from Etsy. I can't wait for it to get here. It's $22 if you are thinking about getting one. I'm not affiliated with the store in anyway, just a customer.

Alfoster Very cool! What is the company name on Etsy? 8y

This came to mind when I heard Trump‘s speech from Hershey today. What he had said in the speech was "We will have peace in strength”
