Book Review: Animal Farm

The book I read was Animal Farm by George Orwell. In the story, a group of animals take over a farm, with a pig named Snowball leading them. Snowball believed that "All animals are equal" and started teaching the other animals to read. Another pig, Napoleon, took some pups and trained them privately. Snowball announces his ideas of a windmill, but Napoleon sent his dogs to attack him, and Snowball did not appear in the story after that, presumably dead. After Napoleon gained power, he told the animals that Snowball is evil and tried to abuse his power, changing the Seven Commandments of Animalism, to the pigs' benefit. A farmer attacked the farm, and in the process many animals were injured, including Boxer, a horse. Napoleon said he would send him to the vet, but Boxer's friend Benjamin found out that the car Boxer is in is bound to a Horse slaughtering place. Years passed, and the pigs began to look more and behave more like oppressive humans. In the end, the animals can't even differentiate between the pigs and the humans.
My favorite character was Boxer because he was hardworking and I felt that he did not get what he deserved in the end, getting sold by the pigs to the Horse slaughtering place just for the pigs to earn money for whisky.

Book Review: Around the World in 80 days

The book I read was Around the World in 80 days by Jules Verne. It is about a man named Phileas Fogg and his adventures around the world. In the beginning of the story, Fogg hires a new servant named Passepartout. Fogg decided to bet that he can travel around the world in less that 80 days. They rescued an Indian woman on the way named Aouda, and meanwhile in Britain there was a bank robbery and a detective named Fix believed that he was the robber. However, when the travellers were back in Britain, they were ahead of schedule, but Fix put them in jail for just enough time to delay their arrival to London, and caused Fogg to believe that he had lost the bet, but actually he was early by one day.
I like Passepartout the most in this story because he is loyal and has faith in his master.

Book Review: Treasure Island

The book I've read is Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Jim Hawkins was a innkeeper of Admiral Benbow Inn. One day, a sea dog came to his inn, and wants him to look out for other sailors. Jim did not know that he had an important map that could lead people to Treasure Island. Soon, pirates started attacking the inn, to look for the map, and the sea dog died.Jim found out that the sea dog had a map and escaped with his mother. He then bought the map to Doctor Livesey and Squire Trelawney and they decided to set off to the place where there is treasure. Their crew included Long John's Silvers, and Jim managed to know that he is a pirate. There was a battle between the pirates and the rest of the crew, and in the midst Jim went on shore and found a man named Ben Gunn, who had already found the treasure. After the battle was won, Jim and Ben and the part of the crew that were not pirates and managed to survive the battle returned with the treasure.
I liked Jim most in the story because he is brave and determined.
