When I first started to read Animal Farm I thought that I would very much dislike this book. It was far from my normal reading Parameters which is normally more realistic material, animals that can talk and pigs that can write just isnt my cup of tea. For the first four chapters it was difficult for me to read then a little past the fifth chapter it started to get good. The description from the Battle of the Cowbell was so vivid and sad it really painted a picture showing how the humans where marching towards the farmhouse and the animals charging at the humans. One of the saddest parts of the novel, I feel, is the chapter where the pig known as Major, the oldest pig, describes how jones, the farmer, treated the animals on the farm. In chapter 1 Major states let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom when our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty(page 7). This one paragraph I felt described how cruel jones treated his animals. At times I got so aggravated and frustrated at the animals I wanted to throw my book across my room. How the pigs treated the other animals, cutting the other animals rations but raising their own, how Napoleon stole 9 dog puppies from their parents. I also got very upset when Mollie the horse started to visit the neighboring farm for sugar lumps and ribbons for her mane. I felt the animals were justified when kicking Mollie off the farm. I got riled when the pigs where breaking the commandments and where changing it to save their own skin. I also got upset when the 9 dogs Napoleon stole acted as executioners, killing animals the pigs thought where agents of snowball and the dogs would happily rip the animals throats out. I was bewildered when the pigs started to walk on two legs. I started to get frustrated when the pigs carried whips to control the other animals and make them work fast
