A F entry 3

Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.

“No animal must ever live in a house, or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco or touch money, or engage in trade. All the habits of Man are evil. And above all, no animal must ever tyrannize over his own kind.”

Major said this quote in the book, and everything he said in this quote happened later on the story by the pigs. This quote somehow reverse foreshadows the ending of this book. Sometimes people say, “You are an animal!” to the ones who are cold blooded, cruel, selfish and inhuman. According to this quote, animals should be saying, “You are a human!” to animals who are cold blooded, cruel and selfish. In addition, this passage contains some of the bad habits and characteristics of human, and I think George Orwell is telling the readers not to get into them. Also he tells the readers how Man are sinners and evil.
