Solidarity!
Summary: RISE UP!
Commentary: I kind of ducked this last night, but Animal Farm is very heavy on the didactic. 1984 hides it until near the end, but Animal Farm isn't long enough for the luxury. That means that it basically starts with a fairly generic COMRADES! REVOLUTION! speech from Major (one of the pigs) about overthrowing humanity, which oppresses the animals.
It's not much to bite onto. A page or two listing all the animals on the farm, a speech, an iffy song. This is not a strong chapter one.
