Description:

Classified as a beast fable, Orwell’s satire about revolution and misuse of power in any totalitarian country appeals to sophisticated readers as well as reluctant ones. Animal Farm is an important work for what it says about the inevitability of idealistic revolution turning into a carbon copy of the previous regime. The characters, although affecting, are one-dimensional. It is basically a political book, but accessible to all readers.

Activities:

Students analyze animal tales, write dialogues, and study propaganda devices and the manipulation of language. They also chart the aims and results of revolution and find modern parallels.

Supplementary materials include a reading guide, character quiz with answer key, and essay questions.
