The Sixth or The Last Entry

What is the mood of this novel? What happens? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?

When it was the beginning of the novel, all the animals were in despair under humans’ control, and they were planning on creation of rebellion. Then they finally rebelled and forced Jones and his men out of the farm. They were in bliss with succeeding to be independent. This joyful mood kept through till the Jones and his men came to get the farm back. All the animals were in anxiety, but Napoleon and Snowball led the animals to triumph. Again, they were in a great joy. Even though Snowball was forced out of the farm by Napoleon, most animals were scared to care about it because of Napoleon’s dogs. As the novel continues, mood of the novel falls from joy to despair eventually. There are a few reasons why mood falls, Boxer sold, lack of foods, and more works on farm. Then finally pigs somewhat look like humans at the end saying four legs are good but two legs are better, and most animals are dazzled. As it gets to the end I found myself sadden by these animals. Leaders change as the novel goes on, and all the animals follow the leaders. One reason that saddens me is animals’ weakness. In Animal Farm, strong characters always led and conquered the farm, and all the animals always followed that leader with no disagreement on their part. Also, there have been no alterations in animal farm since the animals created rebellion excluding the situation where pigs whip the animals.

Yeah, I liked the rebellion part. It felt really good when they rebelled the farm. And also the conflict part gave me joice, too. I think this book is really well written. Don't you think so?

i guess somtimes, people who try to act like somebody else finds themselves looking like them too.
