I read Animal Farm in High School, and I didn't get everything the first time. One thing I didn't get was the chickens confessing and then being torn to pieces by the dogs. At the time I thought "Why did they confess? It just got them killed." I didn't understand that you could get just about anyone to confess to just about anything.
