[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow thought Orwell’s Animal Farm eas read by everyone,  specially a teacher.[/quote]

No, why would you think that? [/quote]

Perhaps, the PP thinks that because they are narrow minded.  There is no single book that "everyone" reads.[/quote]

More like hipster condescending.  There are a few books that almost every American old enough to be a parent read.  Animal Farm, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Gatsby.[/quote]

Nope, narrow-minded is accurate.  Most of us who get to adulthood realize that our experiences aren't universal.  [/quote]

Except, those three books were indeed virtually universal.  That's just the reality of how things were and trying to gaslight people into believing otherwise is very ironic considering that we're talking about Orwell.[/quote]

Multiple people have told you that they didn't read those books in AP English or in college so no, they aren't virtually universal.  Even 20 years ago when I was in high school we were reading different things in AP lit. [/quote]
