So I was thinking the other day, what if there was a sequel to Animal Farm? One where justice did eventually win out. Well, I pondered that for a while and basically came up with a scenario and basic plot structure in my head that I just had to share with you Kyle.
The main plot point would be Snowball returning to the farm, accompanied by an army of animals that he has gathered from the other farms. All of these animals, plus the animals already on Manor Farm/Animal Farm, would be able to team up against the pigs and the dogs. This would not be done with an attack out of the blue, but by somehow sending small animals over to the farm and getting messages of rebellion to them. They would be able to devise plans to overthrow the pigs and take back Animal Farm, with Snowball and Clover at the head of a democratic government. The end would entail a showdown between Snowball and Napoleon, and then we would get to read about how they eventually enslave the pigs and the dogs that betrayed them, while the rest have the government that Major once dreamed about.
It might be a little out there, but I think a sequel would be great to read, and even though the idea of justice winning out in the end isn't exactly a page turner, it would provide me with some much needed closure on this issue. What do you think Kyle?
I would love if there was a sequal! It would be really cool if justice was served, however it'd be even better if there was some sort of twist at the end. Even though I can't stand when books leave you hanging (kind of like this one) but at the same time it's a really good element to a good story because it makes the reader excited to say the least. Perhaps a sequal would be appropriate to show the continuing rise and fall of the Soviet Union, so maybe an allegory just like this that covers the Cold War. It'd be a really neat book. If only Orwell lived to write it...
