what is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenger living in 2007?
I have finished the book called ‘Animal Farm’ after the deadline but I really do not care because I still finished it anyway. Therefore, since I have finished the book, I will go on and answer the questions ‘What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?’
What is the major theme of this novel? I, personally, think that the major theme of this novel is about how greed can snatch the power and use the power in evil uses. In Animal Farm, the pigs first take over the leadership of the farm. The two leaders, Napoleon and Snowball, come up with an idea of all animals being equal from the Old Major’s idea of the rebellion and animals living and cooperating along with the nature. Of course, both Napoleon and Snowball’s idea of all animals being equal is a bait of their plan to slowly take over the farm. Napoleon’s evil-er thoughts cause him to force Snowball out of the farm and take over the farm for himself. Napoleon rules over the farm and slowly manipulates the Seven Commandments of the farm by take the advantage of pigs being literate and rest of the animals being illiterate. Later on, Napoleon acts and dresses like humans saying that all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. So, the major theme of this book, Animal Farm, I think, would be greed may make you powerful for sometime but you would get nothing out of it except for greediness and big reputation of being greedy and evil.
The theme of this book is very important to a teenager like me. The theme asks the question to me saying that I have choices to be greedy and gain bad reputation and power, or become a humble person and gain good reputation and learn what it is like to be a good person and example.

I agree with you that greed deprives the proper use of previleges or having power. I think that is why there are many illegalities and corruptions going on in many countries. Moreover, like you, I also think that acknowleding teenagers about how greed can make be used in evil way. Generally, I think you have many good thoughts about the misuse of power^^
I believe that the pigs weren't planning on harassing the whole farm at the first place. They really seemed compassionate and willing to sacrifice themselves for the farm. After the Old Major's speech, they really wanted to make that society happen. However, I think it is the power that changed them. When they gripped the power, their minds started to open up to greediness and selfishness. They forgot about the ideal society where all the animals are treated equally. Blinded by the power, they forgot about the original plan and the ture intention of the farm. The farm was to be a society of equal and fairness. That society will come true when all the boundaries that decides the worth of people is abolished. I hope someday, although it seems unrealistic, that these walls will all break down and a equal and fair society will come.
