    I see very interesting how did he manage to predict all those happenings, especially in 1984, so i suggest you to read 1984 also, you'll understand it even more.
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

    Orwell

    He challenges his Society to take a stand against Stalin's form of corrupt Communism. He is not a Communist, he is a Socialist. There is a difference.

    i've just finished reading animal farm, and have found some of the answers to my questions on this forum but i am still wondering why Orwell chose pigs to be the intelligent ones of the farm because generally, pigs are the less smarter of the animals as they just eat and roll in the mud kind of thing.

    Actually, you need to brush up on your knowledge of animal behaviour and intelligence. Pigs are smarter than dogs and easily the smartest farm animals, where the competition is poor. The main reason why pigs are seen to roll around in mud is because they are usually kept in tiny, highly unsuitable pens and cages.
