1.What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2009?

The theme of this novel is that too much power can be used for bad purposes that can harm everyone. In the novel, Napoleon’s unrighteous ruling made all the other animals to suffer and feel less freedom. Another theme is that you should be satisfied with your lives right now. In the novel, the animals thought that they’ll get better lives if they take over the farm and get rid of man. However, they became less happy and had to work much harder to survive under harsh ruling. This theme is very important to teenagers living in 2009 because they should know that abuse of political power can make everyone unhappy and make their lives worse. Teenagers should also know that they should be satisfied with their living right now because many teens complain about how their life is very unfair and unhappy.
