    I think this book is interesting because it tells us a story that wouldn't happen in real life. I also think it is interesting because it is funny how animals would build a windmill and it keeps getting knocked down :L, and also how they run the farm by themselves ;)

  4. Siobhan Gardner 8x2-I think this is an interesting book about how communism works and how it doesn't work. It shows that getting the same amount is good because you‘re equal, but how it can change and be unfair because some people (the pigs) don’t work as hard, but get the same amount of food as the people who work harder (boxer).Also I think it is good because it shows what it is like to live in a communist country like China. I found the book quite sad (when boxer and other animals died) but overall the book was really good.

  6. Corin 8x2 - I found the book quite interesting in which the way that Orwell chooses to describe the animals and their personalities. Some animals work very hard and get a fair amount of food for it but some animals don't work at all and get the same and sometimes more food than the others. Orwell uses very well chosen words to describe the animals and their feelings and other things that go on around the farm. Overall Animal Farm is a good book and George Orwell wrote it exceedingly well!!

  7. Ashma Ali 8x2 - I found the online book very intresting about how animals rule the farm without Mr Jones. i found it funny when they kept building the windmill and it kept falling down. i thought Boxer and Squealer were strong animals as they would work harder and harder everyday just to save the farm. they had to work hard in the cold weather and if they didn't, they would have less food to eat. also some of the food that they grew, they died due to the cold weather. this is my opinion about Animal Farm. It is a great book :) x

  8. i think that animal farm is a very interesting book but is also very sad due to napolean taking credit and advantage of the other animals hard work and also how some animals think that (even after all he had done to make there lifes worse)napolean is still doing what is best for them.
    i did not like squealr as he was suking up to naploean all the time. my favorite animals was boxer as he had a fighting spirit and never gave up. :)

  10. Animal farm is quite a good book, but i couldn't really get into it as much as i would have liked. Although i found it interesting how the animals manage to cope with life on the farm without Mr Jones. I think that the animals are brave in which they have to survive no food in the cold weather.
