Freewrite on Animal Farm

So far I have been enjoying the book Animal Farm. I like the characters and I like how there is some conflict because it would be a very boring book if there was no conflict. The part that I enjoyed most so far was the Battle of Cowshed. I think it's pretty obvious that there will be animals that are going to die and the pigs are going to keep stretching the rules and keep taking over and lying to the animals on the farm. I don't really get the whole Snowball thing because if he were still alive you would think that he would come back to the farm, it seems weird how if he is alive he doesn't come back.

I think that some of the characters should take charge more like they shouldn't let the pigs control them. I think that some of the animals are worried that they will get hurt or Napoleon will get mad if they speak out. Boxer should not have to get up an hour earlier than all the other animals just to please Napoleon. In my opinion, Napoleon is using his power in the wrong way, he shouldn't be able to break all the rules that he made up in the first place.
