Allow me to explain my latest finesse with Animal Farm, and how it was abrupted ended on the last page this morning. It surely daunted upon me very unsuspectedly. What a way to end the book! It was an easy reading, so I decided to finish it fast, and was planning to do so last night but sleep overtook my senses. So this morning, armed with a mug of coffee, I tackled the remaining pages of the book, which I started reading on Friday.

I was influenced by a lot of people's comments that it was a very political book, even the introduction to the book stated so. Hence, I was on the outlook of what communism, socialism, capitalism, all sort of -ism that would be embedded in this book, and found plenty though I could not, for my lack of political knowledge, tell apart which one was which. Funny naming the pig Napolean, and how it later dominated the whole farm, and finally being one with the human beings. I guess the way it ended, gave no solution to what further resolutions the animals would take on there, perhaps it was back to square one for them, back to the times with Jones.

A sad truth to note though is how the Seven Commandments kept changing to keep abreast with the living standards of the pigs - or the legislators. Perhaps this is how it is in the real world too. So many passing of the bills, changes, but what is the standard that we are basing on? For Christians, it is clearly on the Bible with the Book of Law which has not changed over the many years. However, sometimes I feel that we can really make the law to suit us, even those in the Bible.

Going to work, to toil in the field soon. Up next would be Veronika, I have decided to keep her for another time, as time for now is short and not sufficient to describe how this book has caused rife in my life.
