We Are Kendall

So far, Old Major has rallied the animals from a meeting to start the farm rebellion. As the furor started, old Major died, and three months later, after much teaching and rules, the starving, neglected animals broke in the feed barn and overcome the humans. Manor Farm was now Animal Farm.

The pigs led the running of the farm, but secretly Napoleon plotted and brainwashed the pups born by their oblivious mothers to take over Animal Farm. Soon it happened, and the good pig Snowball was banished by the huge dogs raised from the pups.

I think Napoleon just wanted power, so he took over. It is pretty obvious that he was plotting for some time, but I wonder when he got the idea. Did he have some effect on Old Major and his idea? It would have some effect on the story, and if my recent question is true, then maybe the entire rebellion was carefully orchestrated by Napoleon to take over the farm. It is an interesting prospect in my mind.

I think this is a great book, and it is perfectly parallel with Stalin’s Takeover, and the plot and details are great. If you put Stalin with Napoleon, the pieces fall into place, and you see how Stalin made his reign. It is one you definitely should read.
