In the book, Animal Farm, there are many things quite unbelievable. For example, we all realize that animals can't actually form a rebellion and take over a farm, or communicate among different species as well. It's very unrealistic, but meaningful and symbolic as well. You also realize that if something like that did somehow happen, humans would totally overrun the situation in a blink of an eye.
Although, when reading the book, the author almost manipulates the reader into believing that the story is possible or realistic. In a way, the author connects the messages and plot to the real world so much, that the reader doesn't really think to critically or negatively about the book's unrealistic content. At the time, you don't pay any attention to how realistic the story is.
Honestly, I also think that the fact that the book is as unrealistic as it is, makes it better. The reader can think more about the topic, subject, or moral of the story and they have to look a little deeper to really get the point across to themselves or engrave it in their mind. It also make the book a little more fun to read and more interesting because it wasn't just discussing a real life conflict. The author molded a couple conflicts into a unique and interesting tale.

Great Blog! This book seems interesting. Also have you seen the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"? That reminds me of this book.
