Animal Farm was never a required read for me in high school, though it was for many people I knew. Because I already knew the basic plot/storyline, I decided to read it for myself. I am glad I did. It was an enjoyable and easy read. On the literal level, it is about a bunch of farm animals who are tired of being told what to do by Mr. Jones and revolt. On the figurative level, it is about Communist Russia. I recommend that if you have never read it before, please read it. It is much better than 1984, I promise.
