Question 1 *Animal Farm*

• LEADRSHIP
• POWER

What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?

The major theme of this novel is all about power. The theme that comes out from my mind is ‘You must control your usage of your power and look forward to use it for our peace-loving world.’ In this story, the animals’ first purpose of their life was gone and each of the pigs was looking for what they need. The pigs were being selfish in a way to get power. And because of the pigs’ selfish beings, the other horses, goats and animals get starvation and face many conflicts. You must use your power for the other’s comfortable life; otherwise power would ruin your life. Power is for leader and the leader must be the person who leads people to harmonious world. This book says that the leader like Napoleon who is demagogue will abolish the society. Thus, choose your leader wisely. And the leader should be look forward to peace-loving world and care about others first other than about self.

I want a teenager living in 2007 to make the other world from this animal farm. I do not want this situation to happen again. I want them to create world without evil minded people. The author wrote this book with same mind as mine. George Orwell has written this to shed light on Russian Revolution but actually he wanted to teach young people to get lessons from this novel. Teenager who lives in 2007 needs ability to decide right decision. And the leader should be wise and not selfish. The leader on the earth should love everyone and self, too. Loving mind will give the leader the right choices to lead the world.
