What Members Thought
You would have thought that as a high school English teacher I would have already read this. This allegory works on so many levels and has many meanings that are important. Even if you do not know the historical context you can get the message that education is important and that ignorance breeds poverty and foolishness. The pigs knew that they had to keep the other animals ignorant of their doings so they could live fat and reap the benefits. Well worth the read and I was not assigned, nor am I

3.5 stars. I should have read this before reading 1984.
