Animal Farm

             The book, Animal Farm, by George Orwell is a quite an extravagant book with many twists and turns which parallel today's society. Although the book deals with animals given human traits and characteristics, it is much the same as our everyday problems and scandals which we hear about on the news.
             In the beginning of the book there is an old boar, name Old Major, who is pretty much the leader of the animals while they are still controlled by Jones.
