    • I first read George Orwell’s Animal Farm as a child, long before learning about the complex allegory of historical references (such as Snowball’s representation of Leon Trotsky). When I read it again in college, a whole new dimension opened on the page.

    Harrison uses BrickForge animals to illustrate a crucial scene in the book:

      I knew what this was without seeing the description. I read this book and saw the movie twice for school. Great job. Poor Boxer.

      Wonderful book, wonderful MOC.

      I too didn’t even see the description yet while already instantly recognising the origins of this cleverly made MOC.

      So I’d say Corran101 succeeded admirably in capturing the scene.

      Hey Duney,

      What was your impression of the book without a knowledge of the historical symbolism? I didn’t read this till I was a teenager, so of course cannot see the story fully separate from the allegory.
