Book Portfolio- Animal Farm 4th Quarter.
George Orwell's Animal Farm is a very interesting Fantasy book that is based on a true story. The book Animal Farm is about the Animals at Mr.Jones Manor Farm that try to take him over and Napoleon to take all power from the other animals. The theme of this book is absolute power is not a good thing to have becuase it makes things bad. The significance of this theme is that everyone thinks absolute power is good but it is not. Absolute power makes things bad for everyone involved. The theme is absolute power ruins things. These reasons from the book support the theme. When the animals use the idea they made that is bloodbath it goes against their "No animal shall kill another animal" rule. Ande Napoleon uses Squealer for his ability to "turn black into white" which is when he is controlling the animals to do what he wants . In the book Napolean says he is educating the animals, when he is making them smarter to make people do what they say. The theme is significant because Napolean has obtained absolute power, which he doesn't know will backfire on him. Absolute power ruins everything. Absolute power is a selfish power. The theme is significant becuase it shows what stalin did before. it also makes it easier to understand some of the characters/ . Everyone thinks absolute power can be a good thing when it is really not.
