I've been rereading a bunch of books they made us read in high school lately. Mainly because I've mostly forgotten all the plots of them and it'll be a good to really realize what made them so special in the first place now that I'm more mature, it's not an assignment I dread, and I've learned a lot about history and how to really read a book since high school.
Anyway, I'm doing Animal Farm currently and I can't believe how heavy handed it is. Or I guess I forgot how heavy handed it is? Maybe since I didn't grow up learning about the USSR as much since it wasn't around when I was born it was just another book. But it's so heavy handed it's bad but good. I don't know how to explain it
I've thought about doing this too.
