I love stories that are like this and showing how things can become corrupt later on even with good intentions. It shows how history repeats itself and I just love it. I know this book is old and people have read it in high school but I wasn’t one of those since my teachers resorted to using articles instead of books but reading this now and willingly felt more intriguing compared to being forced to read this as well as write an essay about it so I highly recommend people to read classic books that you’ve read back then or haven’t read. Anyway, knowing that I haven’t read it now explains why I was shocked when I read that the pigs started walking on their hind legs because after everything they’ve said to the other animals they went and betrayed them and became the one thing they hate. A human, a thing that walks on two feet who also drinks alcohol. It’s the one thing I love in stories like how I said in the beginning. I’ve seen the reviews on here but most are complaining about reading it in school so I hope people can reread it and grow to like it now that it’s not being forced upon you. But to me, I highly enjoyed it. I won’t ever forget what happened to Boxer though like reading that was a stab to the heart.
