Animal Farm (1945) by George Orwell: Chapter 9
Bonus:
Wrapping up! (I did not watch this)
Summary: THE PIGS ARE CAPITALISTS
Commentary:
After much choking, during which his various chins turned purple, he managed to get it out: "If you have your lower animals to contend with," he said, "we have our lower classes!"
Orwell does a lot better with 1984. He tries to have it both ways in Animal Farm. It's not direct enough to be readable as an essay critiquing Stalin (ala Goldstein's book), but it's too didactic to be a good story.
But really, what I learned is that I remember a lot more when I take notes, and it's a lot easier to write these.
Onto... something? tomorrow? I'm not sure.
