Why is Animal Farm a important story to tell?

Animal Farm is a important story to tell because it shows that if you are being treated badly you can revolt or try to stop the power that is controlling you. In the first chapter Old Major, a pig at the farm, tells all the animals about his life and his dream that he had the night before. He tells a story about how the animals do all the work and they don't a lot of food or anything. I remember when I could have used this info. When I was little I wasn't the biggest kid on the block but I didn't let people mess around with me I just didn't talk to them. Back the book, during Old Majors speech he said that he couldn't take himself being controlled by man so he got his friends to join him to overthrow man. But sadly at the end of the chapter Old Major dies in his sleep so only his friends can overthrow man now.
