Jordans Thoughts on Animal Farm
Napolian makes me mad. He tricked them into everything, changing the rules, lying about where Boxer went and making up all those lyes about Snowball, when Snowball was the one who really cared about the future of the farm.
Animal Farm

Three Books
NPR has a feature where listeners call in with three books they would recommend that have the same theme. For example.... Satire.
Uglies by Scott Westerfield
When citizens of Uglyville (I know...I know...) turn 16, they undergo a surgery that makes them beautiful. They are made pretty (height, weight, skin tone, eyes, lips, hair). They then live in New Pretty Town where they party all the time. Shay decides she likes how she looks now and runs away before she is taken for surgery. Only one Ugly knows where she is.
Rash by Pete Hautman
In the United Safe States of America (USSA) The Child Protection Act has outlawed football, medicated everyone with Levular to control tempers, managed to cause bees to go extinct, and has track stars running with helmets, knee and elbow pads, and mouth guards. No one needs to get senselessy injured. With more than 25% of the adult population incarcerated for infractions such as losing a temper, road rage, or not following safety guidelines, there isn't much trouble left to get into...unless your family has an anger management problem.
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Four legs gooooood, two legs baaaaaaad is the mantra of the farm animals after they seize control of the farm and are able to run it themselves, seeking total equality among the animals. The only problem is the pigs seem to be a bit smarter than all of the other animals, placing them in a position to make decisions that, of course, benefit the pigs. If they eat a bit more than the others, sleep a bit more comfortably, and perhaps even wear some clothing that makes them feel better, then their decision making ability for the entire farm will improve.......hmmmmmm.
Give it a try!
