Life Lessons
The strongest reason to support why Animal Farm should not be banned, is simply because of its valuable themes the story exhibits to the audience. I received the lesson of understanding the risks of what I will be getting myself into before I take action. The unintelligent animals, such as the horses, could not comprehend the manipulation that the pigs brought about in the revolution, until they saw the pigs making contact with humans. The last sentence in Animal Farm states, “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
These unintelligent animals symbolize the major part of society, who will follow any orders given to them without a second thought, because they truly believed the pigs were trying to help them gain equality. It is crucial to understand the consequences of taking part in any activity or group, even if it does not seem suspicious, in order to be protected from possible harm. For example, the Peruvian terrorist group, Sendero Luminioso, presented itself as a peaceful group working toward empowering the poor to have more say in government. At first, they held peaceful protests, which led to invading towns to slaughter people.
Additionally, from getting insight to the evolution of a Communist Party, I have become to apprehend the injustice of communism/socialism or any injustice at all in a less horrifying and intense manner. As I explained before, Animal Farm is a humorous tale, which eventually allowed me to understand the process behind developing a terrorist group without learning about a real party, like studying the Nazi Party. Being that I now know so much more about manipulation brought into a terrorist group, I will do everything in my power to hinder such cruelty from occurring in our global community.

Animal Farm tells the importance of equality and freedom of speech in a society. At first, the animals were given the right to make decisions for the future of Animal Farm. Later on, the pigs choice to remove this capability, so then only the pigs and their trusted dogs were able to deal with the systemizing, planning and decisioning-making on the farm. In a way, the variety of animals of the farm, not including the pigs, can symbolize the minorities in society. Just like people of every ethnicity are entitled the right to express their ideas emotions, all of the animals on Animal Farm deserve the freedom to be equal.
