hi every body!

i have started reading Georges Owel books but i'm very bumped into Animal farm which has been read yesterday in bbc world service radio.It has been said that it is the satire of soviet union society .i didn't quite finish reading the book but i'm very happy to plunge my eyes inside because i found the author very wise .Nonetheless ,i would be nice to share my ideas with somebody else who had also read the book even of course a teacher who tell me more about the book or the autor himself
thanks Very Happy

I have already read "Animal farm" and "1984". the two of them are realy pessimistics. they are caricatures of the Russia between 1924 and 1950. It was horrible at that time. Well, it the impression the Orwel'sbook give.

very happy to know.Please could you mind telling me if you are learning litterture?well i'm surprised why the author had used the animals names to make a write up.How many styles of writing did he use many in the book?

Hm, this Animal farm sounds good! I will read it!

Is it similar to Vonnegut's style?
