There's a very good <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm_%281954_film%29" rel="nofollow">animated film</a> based on the book. I saw that as a child - it was shown as a children's movie for some reason, probably because it's animated - and I dreamed about the scene when Boxer is taken away by the knacker for days.???https://www.blogger.com/profile/00467285279627231933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646509104750532097.post-46478356395304451382012-01-13T11:39:59.330+11:002012-01-13T11:39:59.330+11:00I did not realize that he died so young, and it mu...I did not realize that he died so young, and it must have been soon after writing 1984.

I actually read it the summer I read Wild Swans by Jung Chang and together they were an eye opener on what dictatorships are like. I'm not surprised that he was monitored, seeing as anyone back then who thought outside capitalism was a target.I remember Delighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703652579467354910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646509104750532097.post-54182251492763888362012-01-12T00:09:22.882+11:002012-01-12T00:09:22.882+11:00I love Orwell. :)
