I was also de-modded.. I was the next best pick to be brought down a level, so I took it. Maybe someday I'll advance again..

It is a short to-the-point political warning. Have you even read it or have you just seen how thin the spin is? The length of a book has very little to do with it's content. I'm not sure if you're just insulting the book or just me or George Orwell too. I would hardly call 1984 "junior high level literature." So obviously, our Mr. Orwell knows perfectly well how to write higher level writings, but didn't chose that style for Animal Farm. If you honesly believe that something must be complex and use big words to be a work of art and have a very real and important message, then kindly pull your head out of your ass.

Yes, actually I have read it. . IN Junior High of all places, and I've read 1984 at that.

I never said that Orwell couldn't write high level literature, and I appreciate his authoring. I just felt like it's a weak, irrelevant reference. I also didn't say it wasn't a work of art, and unless you are conceding that you have an inability to read, a short memory, and are entirely unknowing of what's going on, then I don't really think that was an appropriate allusion. Just because you read it in your English class doesn't mean you have to use it in all your posts.

In part, I apologize, because there is no doubt Animal Farm carried a good deal of historical relevance, and I apologize for jumping on your case, I'm just uptight, and so used to arguing with you about everything that I just had to say something derogatory.

And complexity has a good deal to do with the reading/comprehension levels of a text. ;)
