Why is Animal Farm important?

Animal Farm is a very important book because of the reality in it. Although Animal Farm -obviously- has to do with a bunch of animals on a farm, it deals with how people involved with politics deal with problems and their feelings about situations. For example, Old Major, the twelve year old pig, talked about how much different life could be outside of the farm or how the humans, "Man," had taken all the animals had worked for. This relates to the government taking taxes from our hard earned money and us getting little to nothing out of it.
