Animal Farm: What's really going on?


In class we have been reading the novel Animal Farm written by George Orwell and have discussed several topics including methods of persuasion, allusion, and irony. Even though we have had a few class discussions, this is your chance to post any other reactions, comments, or questions that you might have as you continue reading. You can can also post in response to an idea that was discussed in class.
