@Daeus Sorry I didn’t respond until now. I was at a drama workshop all day. 🙂
I suggested Sign of Four because it was the only Sherlock Holmes novel haven’t read yet. However, if the people who haven’t read Sherlock Holmes think reading Sign of Four would be confusing as it isn’t the first novel in the series, then let’s read A Study in…[Read more]

Thanks for the tagging, as always, @daeus! Ummm…Charlotte’s Web sounds good actually. 😛
Also, @hannah-krynicki I knew you looked familiar. XD CP-ers unite!

Yeah, @hannah-krynicki , we’re spoiled aren’t we? 😉

Yay! @hannah-krynicki , I was beginning to think I was the only one. 🙂 Automatic saving is super, isn’t it?

You’re welcome, @sarah-h ! 🙂
That makes sense, @hannah-krynicki . Bossy bacon! 😉
I wasn’t confused by that, @daeus . It seemed to me (all things considered 😉 ) that things were going rather well, but if you thought it was contradicting itself then perhaps it was meant as hyperbole?
I don’t know, @sarah-h . Maybe you could tell the story…[Read more]

@Daeus: I’m so sorry it’s taken me forever to get back on here! Life has been crazy busy…
@hannah-krynicki: The part when Napoleon was taking the pups away to ‘educate them’ also jumped out at me. In fact, when I read it, I must’ve immediately had the communist agenda in mind, since I muttered, “ooooohhh….” My sister was in the room and had…[Read more]

@hannah-krynicki Re-education? Sound more like brainwashing. Definitely like the Soviet Union. That little paragraph about the pups being taken from their mother is foreshadowing for something later in the book.

Sarah Spradlin replied to the topic Animal Farm in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 6 months ago
@hannah-krynicki I love that thought! I had never thought about the “savior” role that way before in the context of the pigs, but that is an awesome comparison and so true!

Sarah Spradlin replied to the topic Animal Farm in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 6 months ago
@hannah-krynicki I think you make some really great points, and bring up a great question that I think should be addressed–or at least mulled over. Not even political. To what extent could we make this into an allegory about the United States? And what is our place, as culture-sharpers, particularly as authors, in taking an active role in what…[Read more]

Hmm, it looks like maybe a few people got busy this week and forgot. Busyness is all cool, but if it’s just plain old forgetting, I’m on a mission to remind. Here goes.

His main objective in writing this story seems to be to convince others of whatever points he’s trying to get across in his writing.
I agree that Orwell has some points to get across to the reader. We’ll find out what those points are pretty soon. 🙂

@spradlin Those are some great thoughts to chew on. 😉 I think that Orwell is telling the story for his readers, mostly. His main objective in writing this story seems to be to convince others of whatever points he’s trying to get across in his writing. It’s a little to early in the story to tell exactly what points he’s trying to prove. @Daeus…[Read more]

I agree that the pigs seem power-hungry and may become dictators to the other animals. - Load More
