- Animal Farm
Teenage readers will not even realize they are learning about government as they read George Orwell's classic tale of the struggle between right and wrong, citizenship and dictatorship. The animals of Farmer Jones' farm stage a coup and eventually take over the farm in the hope of leading a more democratic lifestyle where they can rule themselves without fear and cruelty. Ironically, just as they attempt to build their new society based on values and morals of fairness to all creatures, they actually end up creating a reflection of their former lives. The story comes full circle as the pig Napoleon takes the reigns and manipulates the farm animals to doing his bidding. Readers will love comparing the unrealistic Animal Farm to the all too real dictatorships of our existing world. This fast-paced novel is a quick read, but a definite "must read" for all high school students.

- Certainly applies to the present day.
I read this book 40 years ago in high school. It certainly has application to what's happening in the world today. Anyone who watches Glenn Beck will certainly see the similarities to an underlying agenda in the Obama administration. The Bill of Rights is being subtlely diluted and disassembled until finally it is simply changed during the night. This is a suitable and applicable read for our day.

animal farm is a good source of information for where our country is headed if something (and someone) doesn't change soon.
