Thesis Statement For Animal Farm
Hook: Some people say that “rules are meant to be broken”, but often times I disagree. Rules are supposed to teach you a lesson when you break them. You most certainly shouldn't use that saying to your advantage. In the book Animal Farm, many rules that were created are shown to be broken. After the animals of Manor Farm take the farm over from their master, they create seven commandments that are all broken by none other than Animal Farm’s own leaders. Yes, all of these are eventually broken, but some of them are more prominent than the rest.

The other animals don't deserve to be treated like they're inferior to the pigs. Who suddenly decided that the pigs were going to be the rulers anyways? This is not a real democracy, this is a dictatorship. Unfortunately, this does happen in real life. This book does a very good job of showing
