the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
George Orwell's Animal Farm, eh? I see what you did there...
Good catch, I didn't know what that was.
My Animal Farm reading was so long ago, I don't remember many of the details.
Really great story for anyone who has never read it.
I had to read Animal Farm in high school. I enjoyed it, but even at that tender age I saw it as having something of a propagandist tinge which I found off-putting...I'd already come to the conclusion that the 'red scare' was largely a sham. Even though the Soviet Union still had a few years left in her back then she was obviously (to me) not the threat it was propped up as.
Only relatively recently did I read 1984. I enjoyed that work hugely. It is not at all uncommon that I hear the news of the day and
find myself again in awestruck amazement of Orwell's powers of prescience. I'm almost certain that our leadership took it out of context. That is, as a blueprint rather then as a warning.

George Orwell's Animal Farm
I read it in 8th grade and it is a good story.
The Truth
What most people do not know is George Orwell has one of the most "dramatically incorrect" legacies of anyone in modern history.
# He wanted The Truth to matter.
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell
“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.”
What is Orwellian logic?
In George Orwell's novel “1984,” the protagonists in the totalitarian society employed “newspeak,” the inversion of words to create false meaning. “War is peace,” “good is bad,” “moral is immoral” are merely a few of the possible inversions

Orwellian logic = Virtually everything, spoken by your masters is a lie.
: Attempting to say "History was very unfair to this creative writer", any thoughts?
