Surely when we read a book, visual can help us understand better. As when we read the tick book Harry Potter, we will understand it is better as we watch the movie. The visual element can somehow overcome our misunderstanding and imagination that created by our readings. The same thing happen when I read Animal Farm by George Orwell. I can’t actually imagine the actual scene (never visit any farm before) even though finished reading the book, so by watching Animal Farm the animated, it was an eye opener for me how the story supposed to be.
The story is about animals that got rid of their owner and take control of the farm by themselves. It all started when a boar gave advices to the other animals on his deathbed. This boar gave them hope, will and determination to them so that they will be able to liberate their farm from the stupid owner. After that, the farm is being controlled by the pigs. This happens until the end of the story, only after all the animals have realized the pigs are terrorizing their farms and do things for their advantages only.
I think that the story is quite interesting and easily understood. The story has cute, funny, tough and intelligent characters and the drawings are also funny. Even though the message can only be understood by people who are matured and old, yet the entertainment value can easily be understood by children.
In my opinion, this story will be of great material for students, regardless their age. This story has a high probability of making the students understand its content because we also have background knowledge in the stories that almost have the same value, such as ‘sang kancil’ and many more (children usually like story about animal).
In short, I think this story this story could be taught as the basic knowledge in leadership, since there will definitely be some people who eventually will become a leader among the students that we thought.
