Not me. I read it back in fifth grade (at third year in university now) and was just feeling nostalgic

[@CRapMonsterKing]

fuck

"next day" lol. God damn right

[@randomuser8144]

Mine 's for an exam

[@Wardeaus]

I'm Dutch and I had to read this book for my English class. I have a test on it in 1 hour... Thanks for the clear explanation.

[@MinuteBookReports]

Glad this helped clarify the story.

[@birgio1363]

Bro, spoiler alert

[@sammas2959]

Worst thing happens! Sometimes a pen is just a pen! This book or the video of it is junk. It's purported to tell the story from an animals perspective but still dictated by human. Its conclusion has no value. There is no need to write a story about how a knife can't cut itself. In this aspect George Ordwell failed.

[@seekhappydays]

the way he says windmill is the funniest thing 'wind-meal'

[@nicolesophia7]

You forgot that the ENTIRE book is an allegory (means everything in the book has meaning and is reflecting something else) of the Russian Revolution. It's what make the story make sense. Each character and event represents another character and event in the Russian Revolution.

[@MinuteBookReports]

Thanks for the comment.

[@williambell7086]

Nicole F Yes, you are right, Napoleon symbolizes Joseph Stalin, Snowball symbolizes the revolutionary Leon Trotsky, Mr. Jones symbolizes Russia’s last Tsar Nicolas II, Mr. Fredrick symbolizes Hitler, Boxer (the cart horse) symbolizes Russia’s working class, Old Major symbolizes both Marx, and Lenin, he is the source of the ideas the animals try to uphold even after the pig leaders betray them.

[@nicolesophia7]

Tankkiller 225 Yes I had to write an essay about it so I thought it really needed to mentioned in this video.

[@benoram2860]

Nicole F +Tankkiller 225 Many people believe that Orwell's book is just a representation of Stalin's society and his regime. Yes a lot of his regime is displayed through the themes and characters in the book, however Orwell's main message was not just about the Russian Revolution. In fact many English teachers/professors as well as authors believe that if George Orwell were to be here today, he would say that we would have got his message wrong and haven't understood it. Minute Book Reports You my sir have made a great video because i thought it had a great interpretation of the book and this kind of contextual knowledge of even today's society is what makes you reach the top marks in an essay like this. An examiner marks a 1000 of AF essays, will he really want to see the same contextual knowledge of JUST Stalin etc? I dont think so.

[@godgod6335]

You are right BTW you are peng

[@Myron_The_Slavicwolf]

you know, this book also represents the rise and fall of the Soviet Union. Old major's visions represent the philosophies of karl marx and Vladimir Lenin. Napolean's rule represents that of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet dictator. In chapter 2, the animal's revolt against humans represents the October revolution of 1918 against Tsar Nicholas II, the Soviet monarch before stalin came to power. he is portrayed by farmer jones. When farmer jones and his men try to take back the farm in chapter 4, it is an allegory on the civil war between the Russian loyalists and the bolsheviks in 1919. But you know what the ironic thing is, by dictionary definition, a revolution end where it begins, so at first, the pigs that were being oppressed by the humans are now the ones doing the oppressing. So in a weird way, the animals are right back where they started.

[@ChaseChaseChaseChaseChase]

"A revolution ends where it begins" is a very nice quote.

[@Myron_The_Slavicwolf]

Chase L. Thanks.

[@nataliakraft9609]

Thank u for writing part of my essay

[@Blankphotograph5799]

I like this book but when reading it, it puts me to sleep, literally. I have to read the whole thing by Friday for a test. So now instead of reading it I'm just researching it online so that I can get as much detail as possible without being put to sleep. So thank you!

Thats not true, i cheated on my wife and now im married to someone with 10x more income than my old wife 😁

[@MinuteBookReports]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@joeycaggiano4709]

very good, but I think you should have mentioned The Beasts of England at least briefly.

[@1fishmob]

Okay, the description this video gave might mislead some people. It's not a book talking about how capitalism helped make socialist countries turn communistic, it's a cautionary tale of how easy it is for a socialistic country to be easily turned into a communistic regime, the dangers of overthrowing one dictator only for an even worse one to take over, just like with Stalin and Soviet Russia. All of the things in the book is an allegory for the real life events happening in the soviet union.

[@awesomepeople5651]

wow!I understood the whole book through this summary!Thanks a lot!♥♥

[@lilixo6895]

Thank you. It's so tough to get clear concept from my text book. It's crucial for me. It consist of so many new words which is though to understand. Thankyou for giving a clear concept of this chapter. 😊 Nice day ahead! 🦋💜

[@MinuteBookReports]

It's a great book. Short book, but very interesting story.

[@xc6603]

Almost done with it,I managed to get through half the book in 4 hours.Exactly what I expect to see in a George Orwell book. Édit:I think it would be better if you didn’t add music to your videos.A book like animal farm is supposed to be dark and morbid.Other than that,great video.

When I was in fifth grade, my teacher made us read the whole book and answer questions about it and I still think I was a little too young to read Animal Farm, more high school level

[@Levelofchemistry]

Such a good story

[@StasConstantine]

i like how you ended the video :) good watch

[@kadyleigh1352]

Im about to start this book for school. I refuse to believe that this is actually the book

[@mkapp8724]

A farm in the British countryside that is under the operation of Mr. Jones. Old major, a well-respected pig, calls all of the animals to a meeting to share his vision of a farm free of humans, where the animals reap what they sow. This vision inspires all of the animals and they await the day for a rebellion. After Old Major passes away, the rebellion begins when Mr. Jones forgets to feed the animals. The animals, led by the pigs, chase away all of the humans from the farm, renaming it Animal farm. Two pigs named Snowball and Napoleon emerge as leaders, and for a while life on the farm is good. Rules are written on the barn for everyone to follow and a rhythm of work and recreation settles on the farm. The animals coexist in harmony and they feel a sense of pride as they work for no master. One day, the farm is attacked by Mr. Jones and some men. Bravely, the animals fight the intruders away. Tension begins to build on the farm, as snowball and Napoleon are at odds with one another on the direction the farm should take. Snowball wants to build a windmill, wich he claims will increase food and reduce work, while napoleon wants to increase production. Just as snowball wins over the animals with his windmill idea, Napoleon call his secret attack dogs to chase snowball away. With snowball gone, Napoleon becomes the sole leader of the farm. Over time, more and more resources go toward the pigs and dogs and less resources go toward the working animals. Through the smooth talking of Squealer the, the mouthpiece for Napoleon, the animals are assured that the pigs need the extra resources in order to think and organize the farm. Surprisingly, Napoleon then declares that they should build a windmill and that he was never actually against the idea since it has secretly been his all along. The animals work hard to build the windmill, but it gets destroyed. Napoleon blames Snowball for this act of vandalism and vows that the animals on Animal Farm will build it again. Soon, Napoleon reaches out to humans outside the farm and begins making business deals for more supplies. The attempt to rebuild the windmill is led by the efforts of Boxer, an old work horse close to his retirement. Eventually, the windmill is completed, but then gets blown up during an attack by neighbouring men. Over time the rules on the barn begin to change to fit the pigs’ new lifestyle until only one rule remains: All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. In the end Napoleon invites neighbouring farmers to visit the farm and because the pigs have picked up on the mannerisms of humans, the animals cannot tell the difference between the two. Here you go, for your school project ;P
