Question #4_ Animal Farm


*What is the climax of this novel?
*What happens?
*How do the events of this novel make you feel?

Interestingly, the climax of the novel is at the end of the book, the point when the pigs started walking on their hind feet like humans. In the beginning of the book, when Mr. Jones was the owner of the farm, everything was so out of control, and that is why the animals rebelled against and took over the farm. They started out really good; however, as time went on, everything started to change. When Napoleon becomes dictator and treats animals differently, apart from the idea they started out, “all animals are equal,” the greed of the animals started to show. Knowing the sweetness, powerful pigs started to change things so that everything benefited them, but not other animals. Many animals couldn’t read and that was really useful for the leaders to control over them. For examples, they didn’t know that the commandments had changed, to stupid to remember the old one, and didn’t know when Boxer was being taken away toward death just because they couldn’t read. As they changed this and that, it kept on becoming as it was in the beginning. This means, that for the pigs to be all bad, they have to be like human rulers; humans are bad. This doesn’t mean that all humans are bad, but dictators or some of the leaders of ours. The name of the farm started out as “Major Farm” and when the rebellion occurred, the name was changed to “Animal Farm.” But the story ends as “Major Farm” again showing that everything’s back to beginning. Pigs walking like humans and drinking alcohol was really ridiculous, and at the same time saddened me to realize how humans are ignorant. This was a really interesting climax as a novel.

You are judging this book exactly same as me. I also think that the climax of this book is when pigs start to walk and have no differeneces as humans. Pigs are ruling the farm by dictatorship. Pigs are so cruel and they are just like a bad dictator. By the way, I like your pictures relating to the novel
