Anthony Kearney's speil of Animal Farm

Anthony Kearney talks about the rule ammendments in George Orwell's Animal Farm. At first, the rules were: all animals are equal. However, as time went on and the pig Napoleon gained more power, the rules somehow changed. Instead of being, "all animals are equal" it became "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". Kearney speaks of what Orwell may have meant when he said "more equal" and what equality meant then, the 1940's, and now.

Animal Farm

I'm reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. This book was published in 1946. It is set in England. And seems to be a timeless classic.

first blog ever

Well.... hopefully this will work for the class.
