Animal Farm

            Question: To what extent is Animal Farm a book that lets you make your own judgments, to what extent does the writer force his own views onto you? .
             Animal Farm is a well written book that lets you makes your own decisions and judgments. George Orwell, the writer presents this in a very well manner. He forces his own personal view on the government through the characters, language and tone, symbolism and theme. There has been to some extension that George Orwell let the audience makes their own judgments about the characters and the problems. .
             George Orwell associates certain real characters with the characters of the book. For example the character of Mollie, her character is very minor however she opposes to the new government and she doesn't really care about the politics in general all she cares was the ribbon and the sugar. All the animals considered her as a traitor. Mollie characterizes the typical middle-class skilled worker who suffers from this new communism concept. Just like any other characters the animals on the farm never said that "Mollie is bad" or some form like that. All it was said on the book was that "They never speak about Mollie again- this shows that Orwell wants us as a reader to make up our own mind about the characters and situation whether it's good or bad. Orwell expresses his personal view through what the characters does for example when Napoleon's new rules were that all the milk and apples only to be eaten by the pigs. Pigs are in real-life considered to be one of the lowest forms of animal. They"re not only disgusting but they are also very greedy. He used these pigs to be leader to show us how they are not a very good leader but also selfish, they never think for others other than themselves. Just like Mollie's problem, the other animals on the farm never said "Napoleon is a bad leader, let's get rid of him!" Orwell very much let us make our own decision through the choice of character and what kind of situations they have to go through.
