It was my first time reading it and I was already able to take great advantage of it . The book has a big variety of vocabulary that I wasn't used to read before . At first while reading the first chapter I started to have difficulties comprehending what I was reading , I would look up the meaning of some words . The novel was something different than what I was used to reading . I learned how books impact the lives of many even if they don't personally connect to the charterers they still get an important message out of it .
In both Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451 there is the same problem of corruption. The only difference in the books is that Animal Farm can't change the corruption that is going in with the government. Humans can't change or understand the way animals think . Animals were made for humans to consume and to take care of as pets . In Animal Farm it explains how animals think how humans unfairly treat them , how they have to obey to the abuse of human . In Fahrenheit 451 the corruption can be change because anyone who decides to read books can read them there isn't anything wrong with it . Everyone just doesn't read them because they are scare that the government would put the aside from everyone
