Animal Farm

The latest class assigned read, Animal Farm by George Orwell, was a fable and an allegory.

Parallel to the Russian Revolution, the story follows the revolt of the animals against the people and then on to the rebuilding of the farm with the animals in control.

But as the story progresses, there seem to be queer unexplainable things happening around the farm. Where did the milk go? Why don't the pigs have to work? Is Snowball a friend or foe?
