animal farm

The book Animal Farm is really good over all. It really teaches you a lot of life lessons especially on working together, helping others and leadership. It also shows that there are some people that take advantage of the power they are given, for example the pigs. They controlled everyone on the farm and broke the rules just because they knew they would get away with it. Jones didn't take care of what he should have been, but in the end the animals brought it all together and made it better than it ever was. The book is a life lesson to kids and even adults. I recommend reading this book to 6th graders and even younger children.

Animal captivity

Animal Farm is very similar to our human life today. Are animals being held in captivity fair? The farmer holds all the animals into a barn with many other types and species of animals. Just like Animal Farm animals have the drunken farmer as a ruler, we have the government. We have animals that are just followers of their ruler, once again we relate to that with popular groups and the nerdy kids by them following who is better. But the real question is do you think that animals should be held in captivity? Is that fair? Ever since the encomany has gone into debt the animals are getting punished for it. If you really think about it, the animals get punished worse than we ever could. Like in the book, the Mr. Jones the farmer tends to kill old or useless animals when he has no need for them anymore. I'm going to admit that humans around the world do that too, but we are worse than this farmer. People kill and abuse animals just because they are over populated or they don't like them, But that's wrong. We take animals lives and eat them, we take their children and cook them. I'm almost 100 percent positive that none of you guys would want someone taking a brother/sister and killing them and eating them for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Right? But its not even that! we are taking animals and stuffing them into a 3 by 4 foot kennel and letting them sit there for 10 to 14 hours a day. Animal captivity is cruel and very harmful to us and our lives in the future.
