Question #7


Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful?

or disturbing? or memorable?

Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.


A little country that has many farms (including the Animal Farm) in London is the beautiful and memorable setting of the story to me. There is not a lot of setting in the story, but the farm itself is a good one. In the novel, you can find out that there are at least three farms around. Imagining a little old town containing few farms, with varieties of animals and plants at that time just make me smile. All those different stores, shops and public places are good enough to make me want to go inside the book and travel around. Because this is a story that is long ago, it helps me to imagine the town even better. I always wanted to try living at a country because it just seems so fun. Growing different animals will be so exiting if they don’t rebel against meJ. Since I love country, this whole setting of story is meaningful. The windmill, henhouse, dog house, stable… they all look so friendly and cozy. They are so grandparent-tic. Even if the story is not as friendly and cozy, I think the setting was comfortable. It’s kind of ironic because in the farm, there are slaughtering, slavery, selfishness and hunger while the background seems so peaceful and quiet. If a stranger came while the take-over of the animals, he/she would not have been able to figure out the horrible acts of pigs until they hear it from someone. Like that, the setting of this novel is very warm. You can just feel the love by its setting.
