Animal Farm Insight

I really like the book because the way i learn history the best and like to learn history is not via reading directly about it. These metaphors that make up the book are really interesting and it is easy for me to figure them out. Mainly like who the characters represent and also i like how some characters represent a group of people or an ism. The bird thing for example represents religion and i can see that and it makes sense.
Not only does it make it easy to learn about the Russian revolution I also enjoy the fable/short story aspect of the book. I have always enjoyed reading fables because in the end you learn something and you can never expect another book or something else to go on. Finally i think it is fun to think about some of the things the animals are doing in the book. For example firing a gun, a horse stunning a human and building a windmill.
