Tyrany

The word Tyranny means- "Cruel and an oppressive government or rule. Or A nation under such cruel and oppressive government."


The pigs are treating the others with unfair equality. They are making the animals do work all the time while the keep on breaking the rules and making it unfair for the rest. They force them to listen by making them fear Napoleon and The nine fierce dogs.

Compare & Contrast the treatment of the Jews and The Native Americans

The Jews were chased away from their homes. Forced to work for the rest of their lives until they died either from being killed,starvation, or work labor unless they were saved. The jews were treated like rags,the Nazis didn't care if they pleaded they were just left their to die. They were treated like stray dying dogs,that no one wanted to take off, dogs that were to sick and weak and were just left to die in the streets. To put it in simple words they were nothing to the Nazis.

The Native Americans were treated like invaders. Their homes were taken by the Expending colonies. The more we expanded the more were drove them farther away. The Native Americans tried to take their homes back. But they were simply chased off or even killed. We were the invaders of their homelands yet we treated 'them' as the invaders.

Becoming The Enemy

The pigs have obviously become the enemy themselves. They made the animals believe the humans were the enemy. But they had started to wear clothe,drink,and even sleep on beds like the humans.
Through out the story the pigs had turned more and more like the humans,doing everything likes the humans and breaking the 7 commandments by doing so.
And changing them by adding something new to make it seems that they haven't done anything wrong.
One Example- Napoleon had become 'drunk' and started to run around the farmhouse while 'wearing a hate' this shows that him and the rest of the pigs that follow him had turned into the enemy.

Striking Fear.

It is obvious that Napoleon is trying to strike fear. He forces the animals to follow his orders and threaten them to be executed by one of the dogs.
Napoleon uses the dogs to strike fear towards the farm animals so they would respect him in terror.
I agree with the quote- “He who strikes terror into others is himself in continual fear.” 
Napoleon strikes fears towards the animals, which means he himself is literally fear it's self.

Many other genocides happened before,other than the Holocaust.One is the Armenian Genocide. Between 100,000 and 200,000 Armenians were killed in 1895 and many were forced to convert to Islam.Turkish government denied the genocide."History repeats itself" because people do not learn from their mistakes.Some might think that this might not happen again but it happens all the time.

Why Didn't the Prisoners Come Together to Escape?

The prisoners must have thought that there would be more people to help out and kill them.The Nazis have taken over many countries.Most would be their allies.If they stood by their selves and other countries started to help retrieve the prisoners,then the Nazis would have fallen.Or if the majority of the escaped,their family would be killed,plus they were very weak and skinny.

Is History really worth learning about?

I say yes,it is.If we know what happened in the past we can learn from their mistakes.It tells us how we can improve.If we did not know about what happened in the past,then we would make the same mistake of and over again instead of making new ones.

I love Jacob

I'm up to Jacob's part in Breaking Dawn.
