Syuzi Melikyan: “Animal Farm”
In her March presentation within
the framework of a reading project, 11th grader Syuzi Melikyan analyzed “Animal
Farm” by English novelist George Orwell. “It stands as a timeless masterpiece,
weaving together the complexities of the Russian Revolution into a simple yet
powerful narrative. Each animal embodies a distinct aspect of the human
condition, allowing readers to reflect on the nature of power, loyalty, and
corruption. Moreover, Orwell’s satire serves as a poignant commentary on the
dangers of unchecked authority and the manipulation of truth. The parallels
between the animals’ struggles for equality and the injustices of the Russian
Revolution resonate with readers across generations, reminding us of the
importance of vigilance against tyranny and the need for critical thinking in
the face of propaganda.” Continue reading Syuzi’s analysis on her blog.
