Animal in every Human!!!

            George O Well is one of the great writers on planet and among his best works, there is one that I can’t stop reading it again and again. It is ANIMAL FARM. It is a story of animals tries to stand on their own leg which is good but end up in failure in the long run. The story begins with animals in Manor’s farm having meeting among them discussing on rebellion. As they wanted, they chased human out from the farm and they took full control of the farm. They then started to work happily as they got more food and had freedom. Napoleon and Snowball are among the educated ones who took over the crown for betterment of other animals in the farm. As everything was fine, one day, Napoleon chased Snowball away and took over the leadership. He started to develop human characteristics in him and started to behave badly than human does. All the seven amendments set initially was changed and social class was developed. Pigs work at the administration whiles other animals in the field. The rest of the story is about how humans can be animals.
            What captured my mind is that if we take a close look at this story, it is merely what human does. So, the educated animals are the one who rule out the farm. At first, everyone was equal but when pigs claim that they are educated, they do easy work that favour them while others had to work hard under the hot sun. Besides that, Napoleon had become a dictator and a tyrant in the sense that when he felt he had threat, he killed all the animals who had contacted Snowball. At the end, he sold Boxer as he was old to work in the farm.
            Secondly, when people are ready to follow commands, there will be thousands of dictators ready to dictate. In this story, no matter what happens, whatever Snowball and Napoleon say is right and that is what they follow. That is the scenario in our community nowadays. People can be easily deceived. It is not because they are innocent but because of their blind trust like what happens in this story. In conclusion, I personally think that this story is suitable to be taught in school especially when we are teaching about moral values.
