The worst part had to be when different animals were coming up and confessing random things. If the confessed that they had stolen food or similar things, then they would be killed on the spot by the dogs. I thought it was disturbing because most people don't especially like hearing about animals being viciously torn from limb to limb. I think the farm was actually a lot better in the beginning of the book when they had Jones's, rather than the animals all alone.

Worst Part of Animal Farm.
Personally to me, the book doesn't really spark my interests. But there are a couple parts that left me wondering, disturbed me, or made me laugh. One of the parts so far that I thought was sad/disturbing is all the confessing that took place. After Old Major died, Snowball and the other pigs sort of ran the farm. But then Snowball was ran out of the farm by dogs since he apparently was always on Jones's side. After Snowball was gone, Napoleon was the leader. To me, Napoleon is an awful farm leader.

Animal Farm
So far, I like Animal Farm. It's pretty rare that high schoolers really get to read fables, but since this one is advanced then I guess it's "all good." I like how clever the book is. George Orwell creatively took the Russian Revolution and covered it, using animals. Since it's from animals perspectives, I think it is a lot easier to learn about the Russian Revolution as opposed to sitting there and reading out of a history book.
The figures that each character represents is really creative to me... How the author thought all of this out to write this story is really cool. So far from reading, we haven't really come across anything too intense. While reading To Kill a Mockingbird, most of the intense parts were at the end of the book, which made the book really good. Hopefully, Animal Farm will have a surprise sooner or later, because honestly some of the time it bores me. Other than that, I enjoy reading it.
