What is the climax of the novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

- I think the climax in this novel is sort of controversial. I personally feel that the climax of this novel is when the the pigs start to hang out with the humans, act like them, do everything just the same. They changed the rules, "Four legs good, two legs bad!" into "Four legs good, two legs better!" They just changed everything the animals ever worked for before. They were working to find a better and free life, away from human slavery. But, the pigs did just the same or worse as Jones ever did to the animals. The passage says, "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which." I think this is a powerful verse, it saddens you, it makes you think. It shows how anything, can turn into the same. I felt sort of bad for the animals after reading the ending, because they would have to work for a 'human' for the rest of their lives, but who knows? Maybe it would have turned out different.
