Animal Farm Q3.:)

6. Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.

"Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer- except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs."

I think this passage is really meaningful because it sums out the whole novel and at the same time, it relates to us as humans. Every single day, the animal farm grew bigger with greed and the animals became more human-like. In this case, becoming more like humans isn’t a good thing but a saying that they are growing with power in a bad way. As the farm is growing, the animals individually aren’t. All they are doing is getting blinded by Napoleon’s power that they don’t see the actual truth of what the power is doing to them. Even though, the animals aren’t getting any richer, the pigs and dogs are. This doesn’t actually mean that they are getting “richer” and better. It means that they are getting more self-conceited as the days go by. For the pigs and the dogs, they came far way lying to themselves about their true identity and power use.
