Question 2: Animal Farm


The novel Animal Farm, may seem like a story that is enjoyable when it is hiding its real meaning by symbolizing. It tells us that “communism” in this case is not right. Current situations in the world relates to the book like this. These past years, many communist countries have turned and are turning back toward democracy. Soviet Union had changed to USSR after its destruction. Even China is accepting some of the principles of democracy; however, there is a single country left untouched, North Korea. What is happening in North Korea is what had happened in the Soviet Union in the past, but they haven’t learned by seeing the failure. Although the president of the North Korea, Kim Jeong Il, would never accept it, North Koreans should read the book and learn something from it. This novel doesn’t actually shed the light of “how” the problem could be resolved, but it shows the frightful result of what might happen, if it keeps on going this way. Like what I've talked about, there will be a lot of current situations that are realated with this book.
