CLIMAX


In the book "Animal Farm", the farm started with two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon as both leaders. The climax of this book was when Napoleon drove his friend Snowball out of the farm by using his nine trained dogs. Napoleon drove Snowball out of the farm because he was interfering with his plans. Since Napoleon drove the brain of the farm Snowball out of the farm he was the one who became the new leader as the new brain of the farm who now made the decisions. That was the reason why I chose this part as the climax because this was the time the animals in the farm lost their destiny to freedom and when they started making the wrong decisions.

The event when Napoleon drove Snowball out of the farm made me feel very sad for Snowball. The only thing Snowball wanted to do for them was to give them the freedom away from the humans. However his drea was scattered because his fellow comrades betrayed him.

I think The Lord of The Flies have similarities with Animal Farm. In The Lord of The Flies, they also fight for their rights as the leader. In The Lord of The Flies, conflicts also start as the kids in the island fight. They start making wrong decisions also. Animal Farm sounds like an interesting book. It seems like animals symbolize humans claiming their spot as the leader, and being ruled under dictatorship.

Wow that's deep. However, I disagree with you. I don't think that is the climax of the poem. If that is the climax of the poem, then the real climax of the poem would be considered as a falling action, but is actually a climax.
I think the real climax of the story is when the pigs paraded infront of their fellow animals on two feet and carrying whips. This is when they turn out to be a really terrible hypocrite. There was a chant that was once supported by all of the animals. It went "four legs good. Two legs bad." Those hypocrites went against their own words, and walked around carrying whips. From this point on, everything else is falling action.

Nice post by the way.
