Animal Farm was tale told about the actions of humans in the guise of animals. It follows the history of Soviet (Communist) Russia, more or less, from the days before the Revolution to the time Orwell wrote the story (1948). Just as the characters with their animal-human characteristics are easy to accept, so the plot is helped by ignoring many improbabilities.

Warning: Spoilers--
Animals take over the farm. At first, they are happy, but the pigs take over and things get worse and worse-- the horse dies. The other animals spy on the pigs and see the pigs wearing clothes and talking with humans and they look like humans.
After the book, I pretty much gave up pork. Yuck! It's like cannibalism!

Not only is it about animals overthrowing the dastardly farmer it's about the Russian Revolution. Pick up a history book now and then and you'd realize that it's about the people uprising against a cruel government only to have the rebel leaders treat them worse than the government they just ousted.

It has been along time since i read this book, but I do remember it is about WWII. The animals in the book are actually Characters of Hitler, Mussolini, Trotsky, Stalin....ect. It in my opinion is a good and funny way to learn details of the war. Alot of things in there are metaphors of what the leaders had done during the times in office.

A farmer is mean to his animals. So the animals overthrow him. Then the pigs take over and are worse to the other animals than the farmer was. So it ends unhappily for the animals.

It is an allegory of a communist society. I suggest reading the book. It's short and it's really great.
