¨Animal Farm¨ written by George Orwell gives us the insight into life in general. It takes place on an English farm. The aged pig on the farm, Old Major, calls for a confidential meeting of all animals. He shares with them his dreams about a revolution against humans. When Old Major dies, the other animals decide to accomplish his dream and start a rebellion which makes them take control over the farm and make their own set of commandments.

Mr.Jones cold-heartedly kills the animals when they have become useless. Another example is when the pigs take all the apples and the milk without sharing it with the other animals.

Mollie’s sugar and ribbons weren’t allowed on the farm, so she decided to run away from the farm. She leaves the other animals and finds a new owner who gives her what she
