Because all the events in the story happened in the Animal Farm, I would say the Animal Farm was the most memorable place. It was the place where the animals won their victories against different groups of farmers. It was also the place where those faithful animals died for other animals. I was devastated and depressed when Squealer sold poor Boxer for dirty money. I imagined impotent Boxer lying on the dry hays without any energy to move, only his mind concentrated on finishing the windmill. If I were Squealer, I would’ve sent him off to veterinarian hospital, get his mighty health back, and let him work again. Wouldn’t that be a better deal for Squealer? I mean Boxer had the strength and power of about five animals put together! What was Squealer thinking! Another place in the Animal Farm that I was never able to forget was where the seven commandments were written. I was guessing that the walls were fragile. I can’t imagine pigs going up a ladder to write all the commandments down. I was speechless to all the additional words Squealer added after the original commandments. Those words were strong enough to monopolize over the whole farm. One of the disturbing places I remembered was Jones house. The corrupted pigs slept on beds and drank alcohol. Not only did they use human stuff, but also tried to be one. Squealer walked on hind legs! I was so angry thinking of those vicious pigs lying on cozy beds while other animals worked strenuously.
