"For the first few minutes the animals could hardly believe in their good fortune. Their first act was to gallop in a body right round the boundaries of the farm, as though to make quite sure that no human being was hiding anywhere upon it; then they raced back to the farm buildings to wipe out the last traces of Jones's hated reign." When the animals chase their cruel master off the farm, freedom and equality seem within their grasp. But soon, ominous signs of corruption and greed appear. In this classic fable, George Orwell sounds a powerful warning of the dangers of totalitarianism. This edition of Animal Farm has been developed to prepare English Home Language learners in Grade 12. This book meets all the requirements of the new curriculum and the additional features provide extensive support and preparation for the Grade 12 examination.
