"... Changing rules of the pigs compare... " - Yesenia Villarreal



  “… Changing rules of the pigs compare…”
  The pigs changing the commandments compare to real life everyday. It compares because some of the animals could represent as activist as taking matters into their own hands like some famous people from our history during events. The pigs are like the government for the president but mainly for themselves or the rest of the animals. The pigs decide to pass or change laws while the president being (Napoleon) could give some options as resolutions to them. Politicians would only care of themselves because they would have control over what laws are being passed for the entire country. For an example of a law would be of: “the first civil rights law, equal rights for everyone who lived within the jurisdiction of the United States.” This would have been located online as a reference using this source: http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Civil+and+political+rights
  Changing those commandments on Animal Farm so everything is set proper to work right is like having your own business or company. It is like school regulations and if you don’t follow them you suffer the consequences. In chapter 7 of Animal Farm, 4 pigs decide to betray Napoleon and fess up to it. Then they suffer by being attacked by Napoleon’s guard dogs and end as perished. Napoleon in the meantime is in charge of Animal Farm, while the rest of the animals are set as the people. Some of the pigs, including Squealer is his government. Lastly, Napoleon’s police or bodyguard is the dogs. Most animals in the farm don’t speak up enough or can’t find the words to speak and because of that the only one who makes decisions and even decides it a good majority of the time is Napoleon. The animals don’t have many rights as Napoleon since he decides it all. This isn’t fair to all the other animals. It makes me think back how women weren’t treated equally as men. Feminists had to argue and take action. “In 1919, the federal woman suffrage amendment; originally written by Susan B. Anthony and introduced in Congress in 1878, is passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. It is then sent to the states for ratification.” This quote was taken by a timeline having another source of: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/womenstimeline1.html (Women’s Rights Movement in the U.S. Timeline of Key Events in the American Women’s Rights Movement 1848-1920 By Ann-Marie Imbornoni)
