Animal Farm 5

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



The mood of this novel is sorrowful and tense. The animals rose in rebellion just to get happiness and freedom but a nasty pig took it away from them. It was really sad to see the different lives of the pigs and the dogs to rest of the animals. The pigs and the dogs had all the advantages however the animals were suffering from pain. The pigs started to break the commandments by adding few words and eventually all the ten commandments were totally changed. There is one commandment that I hated the most: “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” This commandment suddenly gave me anger and I was furious about Napoleon and his followers. The saddest part was when Boxer gets sent to the horse slaughter place. IT made me so sad because someone who worked so hard than others was treated useless.
There were many tense situations. The animals finally rise in rebellion and have a first war with Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones comes back to his farm again to get his farm back with his neighbor farmers. The animals fight again and the men run away to save their lives. During a meeting in the barn, Snowbell runs away from the fearful dogs who Napoleon trained. The neighbor farmer, Frederick, and his men attack animal farm and blow up the windmill.
