  1. My high school English class read Animal Farm. We read it "popcorn" style, which means out loud and in turns during class. Unfortunately, that was the only way to get the kids to read it. Our teacher told us the moral of the story is that the smart guys always win. That made no sense to me, because there are plenty of smart guys who lose, and dumb brutes who bully their way into success. Even today, the conclusion I get from the book is that communism can't work, because not everyone is equal, with the same capacities. I am a substitute teacher. Awhile back, I subbed an English class that was reading 1984. The students were left on their own, and a lot of them hadn't even started the book. I told the class, "These books are supposed to teach you about life. I know it's hard reading them, but try anyway. When you're older, you'll remember, and then you'll understand." I don't know if they took my advice, but I hope so.
