 Blog #3 The story is set on a farm where the animals overthrow their human farmer, Mr. Jones. So far, from the beggining to the last pages that I read, I predict that some animals will betray the original principal and the animals' condition worsen. The pigs started to act like the humans themselves due to their needs. The characters that I have encountered so far are: 1. Napoleon : acts as the leader (act for his own benefits) 2.

My first impression when reading the books was about Bod. In the sentence “ Ever since the child had learned to walk he had been his mother’s and father’s despair and delight, for there never was such a boy for wandering, for climbing up things, for getting into and out of things.” (Page 10, line 21-24) it makes me think that Bod was a smart and talented boy.  After reading through the story though, I feel that Bod’s life was pretty sad.
