Hi!
The book Animal Farm is
often assigned in the 6th-8th grade levels (Jr. High/Middle School), but it is quite
obvious that Animal Farm appeals to just about any age group who is familiar with topics
such as treachery, exploitation, classicism, despotic governments, the nazis, the
Napoleonic wars, and any other theme of government abuse, separation of classes, wars
against any specific group of individuals.
It deals also
with peer pressure, divide and conquer, the abuse of power, and the human reality of
propaganda which leads people to follow the wrong political
agendas.
Personally I would recommend this book because it
shows the reality of absolutism and the ridiculousness of those power hungry politicians
who destroy civil life. It shows what ambition does to people and it does it in a
colorful and metaphoric way that appeals even people who do not like to read a
lot.
