3rd quarter ssr: Animal farm

          Animal Farm, it's a classic work of literature by George Orwell it tells of how greed and human nature (or in this case animal nature) can ruin a good idea. Animal farm describes the birth of a new idea similar to Communism. The animals on the Manor farm have had it with their abusive owner and through him out. Once the farmer is dethroned the animals begin to implement their ideas. They follow ten commandments each with a specific purpose. Their leader, Snowball, strictly follows the rules and tries to do best for the farm. After many months of functioning normally, in a tense standoff Snowball is overthrown by the fierce boar Napoleon.  Slowly but surely Napoleon begins to change the rules and begins to warp them in his favor.  Eventually the other animals begin to protest these changes but are silenced. The farm becomes worse off due to Napoleon's greed and eventually the farm completely dissolves. The reason I argue 100 years from now that Animal Farm will still be read is because the core cause of the farms problems, greed has ruined many things and will continue to do so even in the future. Those who do not understand greed are doomed to fall victim to it and greed is sometimes hard to understand. Animal Farm provides a benchmark in both storytelling and representation of human nature specifically greed so I believe that it will still be read in the future.
