Responding, Animal Farm

Personal Response

Animal Farm contains many extremely effective scenes. Some are humorous or witty, others are bitterly ironic or pessimistic. Which scene did you find most memorable and effective? Why?

I find the Battle of the Cowshed most memorable. The battle is described in a very effective manner, such that I felt like I was in the scene. The battle included the hiding of the animals and how the humans and animals clashed, and how animals got injured and how Snowball's witty planning worked out. All the words used being very descriptive, it was like I have watched that part in a movie or in real life. This made it very memorable for me.
