Animal Farm

           In my opinion I think that it was somewhat interesting. My personal favorite part of the story was when Napoleon got his dogs to chase Snowball away. I liked that part because that's when everything went wrong and plus after it happened everything got more intense. Personally I think that Animal Farm wasn't a compete waste of time I did like it, just not that much. It was definitely worth while because I  learned more words and I think I gained from reading this book.
