Which school did you attend @Samyajit?

Samyajit · December 2018

I am from Kolkata. I attended Ram Mohan Mission High School. Few people would recognize that perhaps.

Animal Farm is not tormenting, its fun and dark. I wish I had it for my school syllabus or college.

At Prince Anwar Shah Road? I used to stay at Jodhpur Gardens while I was pursuing my PhD At JU

Very true, Dev...But it is not as dark or pessimistic as his last novel, the dystopic 1984. I remember the literary critic Harry Blamires contrasting its fairy tale, fabulistic elements with 1984, where the "monochrome relentlessness" lends a "certain sourness" to the text

@thebeautifulgame yes. That's the place where I spent some of the most beautiful years of my life.

@dev_pfc Animal farm is really a very good read. But the torment is in answering the essay-type questions attached to it. I somehow survived ICSE English because my school chose short stories (which have reference to context mostly) over Animal Farm while a number of my friends toiled out pages after pages writing answers of novel-ish length.

Wow, Animal Farm in school/college? Sometimes,I wish I was in an ICSE school. Read that book last year only. Also,people should read the other book by George Orwell "1984". Quite apt in corrent context

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

“Big Brother is Watching You.”
