Introduce "Animal Farm" by George Orwell
Animal Farm is written by George Orwell in early 1940s. It is a book about people and the rulers. Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones, farmer couple, are under attack of their own animals lead by Napolean's, refering to French rule under Napolean's. Napolean is a pig, he leads lots of pigs, rabbits, ducks and chicken and other animals revolutionized Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones farm, and they then started to farm themself. Humans say, "let them do it then," these humans are Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones neightbors. Animals started their own farm and they sell their farming products on the market to the liberation animals from other farms and human in their neightborhood. They are just doing fine but they do have problems with their productivity. They tried to increase that and also try to manage farm in a better way. Then they start to develop new things, like manufacturing, in the book, they started to build wind mills. Now people have problem with them now, they try to destroy the wind mill they try to build, and the wind mill is destroyed. At the end, Napolean is still the friend of human, and they still trade. And people say, something like, "if your life and your property is not under attact, it will be never severe."
The book reflects the battle between Communism/Socilalism ruled French after French revolution (the Napolean's or the new Napolean's today) and the capitalists (the human farmers, Mr. Jones family is one of them) lead by English. It is a great book.
