In my English class, we read a book called Animal Farm by George Orwell. This book is aiming the World War 2, Russia and Germany. So if you take it seriously and read it, you won’t be able to understand it well. The place where the story takes is England, and the story is actually aiming Russia and Germany, about the World War 2.
Humans in the farm use animals to plant and grow crops in the farm, without any goods for the animal. Animals get mad and plans for revolution. After they success for the revolution, pigs make the commandments for animals, but pigs change the commandment for only goods for them and start doing monocracy by making the animals believe in them. They steal Jessie’s puppies to make them as a police(soldier), they take milk and apples just for them by telling them it’s for the goods for the farm, and they change the commandment from “Animals do not sleep in the bed” to “Animals do not sleep in the bed with sheets” and they start living in the house, sleep in the house. And what the animals still think is Napoleon is always right. Just like that, Napoleon start doing the monocracy in the farm after the success of the revolution.
We can consider this story as a fantasy story by seeing that the animals can speak, but in actually way we can also consider this as a documentary or historical story by seeing that this story is actually aiming the World War 2 that Germany and Russia were doing monocracy around the world.

Overall, I think this book would kind of be hard for foreigners to understand, because if we know that this story is aiming the World War II, we would take this story very serious and read it so it might be hard to understand, but if you take this story enough light and serious, you would be able to understand it well. I think story is well balancing with fun story and has the World War II story, so it might be interesting for you to read it.
