Animal Farm: Entry 1

--What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?

In this book, there are two themes. The main purpose of this book is to criticize the communist as shown in the preface and the introduction of the book. This idea is so intense in this book, so it became one of theme in this book. The other theme of this book is derived from the first theme, the purpose of the book, and this theme is more significant than the other. The theme of this book is how greed and selfishness change a person.
Napoleon, who is the main character in this book, was one of the two leaders who lead the animals to take over Manor Farm. At that time, he is eager to do it as well as the other animals in the farm because he is tired of overwork. His put his purpose on the freedom of the all animals. But, selfishness and greed of authority changes Napoleon. As he gets selfish and greedy of authority, he lives for himself and others, who are on his side. He puts other animals down and acts like human who once Napoleon hated most. He has been a patriarch, but he is one who is just blind for authority. This theme is significant to a teenage living in 2007 because by this theme, this book teaches us how the greed and selfishness changes a man. We tend to neglect others and put them down because of greed and selfishness, and the book shows the result of it. Frankly, I know one person who has little number of friends because of greed selfishness as the book describes. I want to recommend him this book.
