bleated it, the horses whinnied it, the ducks quacked it.
They were so delighted with the song that they sang it right
through five times in succession, and might have continued
singing it all night if they had not been interrupted.
Unfortunately, the uproar awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang
out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard.
He seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his
bedroom, and let f ly a charge of number 6 shot into
the darkness. The pellets buried themselves in the wall
of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly. Everyone
f led to his own sleeping-place. The birds jumped on to
their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the
whole farm was asleep in a moment.
GEORGE ORWELL ANIMAL FARM
Introduction

from Zone 4, Grades 9–12
George Orwell always knew he would become a
writer. Orwell had a lonely and difficult childhood. He was
only eight when his father sent him away to boarding school.
At school other boys made fun of him because he did not
have an important family name or status. These early
experiences made a lasting impression on Orwell. Some
of his best-known works, such as Animal Farm and 1984,
explore the social inequality and misuse of power he
witnessed as a boy.
In this story, barnyard animals start a revolution
against humans. The animals are sucessful because they
work together. But soon one of the animals decides to be
the leader—and life on Animal Farm begins to change.
Animal Farm uses the barnyard setting to satirize, or
make fun of, power-hungry dictators . In a dictatorship,

Does power always corrupt?
Animal Farm
by George Orwell
Overview
Reading Schedule
Background Published at the onset of the Cold War, Animal Farm is a satire
Group members: _______________________________________________________
of the Soviet regime’s failure to realize a just socialist nation. In contrast to the
twists and turns that characterize political language, Orwell’s writing style is direct
and unambiguous. He believed that people should not costume their ideas in
an effort to make them more acceptable or palatable. Instead, he admired those
who communicated clearly and in a style that appealed to the common sense of
the reader.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Animal Farm
Book Summary Many readers interpret this story as representing Soviet dictator
Joseph Stalin’s rise to power and his cruel oppression of the Soviet people. In
Orwell’s narrative, barnyard animals revolt against their self-appointed leader. They
are successful, and for a time, things are pleasant at Animal Farm. Before long,
the pigs that took leadership of the farm start to act just like the humans they
overthrew. Animal Farm becomes just as oppressive as the original Manor Farm,
and the reader is forced to wonder if power always corrupts.

About the Author
Assessment
Born on June 25, 1903, as Eric Arthur Blair, George Orwell was sent to an English
boarding school when he was only eight years old. Away from his family, Orwell
was miserable. He was an outsider at Saint Cyprian, lacking the titles and money
that his classmates boasted. Upon graduation, his grades were not high enough to
attend a major university. Instead, he became a police officer for the Indian Imperial
Police in Burma, only to quit suddenly after returning to England on medical leave.
In England, he decided to pursue writing.
Orwell published several novels, but these works had yet to show the conviction
that was at the foundation of two of his most popular novels, Animal Farm and
1984. His writing was best when he focused his energies on the social injustices he
witnessed and experienced.

Chavez was a farmworker in California in the

Chavez decided it was time for a change.
The students begin to share their
lives with each other for the first

start listening. Everyone agrees:
Writing poetry makes English

Chavez worked hard to organize the

people got the pay they deserved. Though
Chavez died in 1993, he is still remembered
as one of the greatest leaders in the history
of the United States.
