The Big Question
I found this quote:
"The essential question of Animal Farm is NOT "Could it happen
again?”
The essential
question is "Do I realize that it IS happening everyday all around me?”
Do
you think that this is true?
Why? In what ways do you see it happening? |
Why Not? In what ways is this statement overblown or inaccurate? |
