Big Ideas from Literature Book Review 2025/05/03

This book was incredibly overwhelming to read. I bought this in Sydney, and it was definitely worth the money. It was really eye-opening, how different books have stories snuck inside them, and teaches us a lesson. For example, Animal Farm  by George Orwell. I thought it was just a 100% made up story, but deep inside, it shows that some people will do horrible things just for power. It is also related to the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the people were represented as pigs. However, I have a suspicion that George Orwell deliberately described the power-hungry Russians and pigs 😳. It’s just my theory, but it could be incorrect. I also enjoyed how some books were based on real life stories, and each has a unique story. The book shows that different books show us various traits that we need in our lives, such as Friendship and Guidance. It also makes the reader seem more involved, as it asks questions that really touched my heart. It also has questions and boxes for us to fill!

I really enjoyed this book. Usually, I read fantasy novels like the Hobbit, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson. I really recommend this book to readers who want a different genre of books, or want to discover more facts about literature. 

If you buy this book, really recommend reading pages 127-133, as it covers topics about friends, who are a major part of our lives!
