Animal farm was short but definitely not sweet. I watched the movie when I was six years old and I found it frightening. I liked that I could learn from the mistakes that the animals made‚ and I even enjoyed the book despite my past experience with the story. The characters were extreme and strangely believable. The author did a fantastic job of creating the characters‚ they made me laugh‚ feel pity and cringe. He successfully transformed the pigs into humans‚ and the other animals into victims

Work/ Life = 1? By Mrs. Sisyphus‚ November 15‚ 2013 Are you aware that a term‚ “workaholic” entered to the dictionary in past 20 years? The term‚ itself explains how terrifying it is. It comes from work and alcoholic and we should all understand that being workaholic is a bad addiction like alcohol. Yes‚ I think it is an addiction since most of the people spend most of their time working. I guess spending 24 hours in work is madness. You can say‚ “Bullshit‚ who spends 24 hours at work‚ it is nonsense”
