I never read this in school and I've always wanted to. There is definite value in the meaning of this book. I couldn't help but thinking, “Why don't the animals see that the pigs are lying to them? How are they trusting the few pigs over all of their suspicions that the commandments used to be different?” And then I wondered about all the instances where we might do this in our society. It's also a little disheartening to think about the letdown of a failed rebellion that puts you right where you started.
