Almost all the animals had a very bad memory so they were not able to remember things of major signifigance. After a little while the pigs would mention the past and the animals would not remember what had happened so they would agree with the pigs. The the battle of cowshed, snowball was a very herioic animal in that battle but Neapolean said that that was not true that there memory had deceived them, that snowball was just trying to get them to trust him because he was in connection with Mr. Jones.

This wasn't structured in an essay type format, it seems like it was just random thoughts thrown together. I had remembered reading it in HighSchool and came across this essay and wanted to refresh it. Benjamin was mentioned but not what/who he was; is the reader suppossed to assume what's going on? Also it should be noted that parts are repetitive and the thoughts seem scattered. The ideas are there, they're just not formed completely. I don't want to write a terrible review/comment because Im sure that my essays can be torn apart, but I have read this book and just looking at it makes me think that its a book about animals that think and plot and rebel; perhaps a parallel with the revolutions of that time era?
