Animal Farm Report Card

Grade C.In Animal Farm they

began with equalityThen less and less

the equality faltered as the pigs became more as humans and became “more equal then others”

America 2081 Report Card

Grade D.America in 2081 they

did not show equality in any way

They only showed sameness only what is part of equality. Handicaps on people make them unequal to those around them

Orwell the CriticOrwell explained that equality and

sameness in societies cannot workThere is no possible way one ruler can not

dominant over everythingPlains of a utopian society can never stand

strong Soon someone or something will question

the dominant control

Scott the Critic

Orwell’s book Animal Farm is set on a farm with animals that want freedom and equality

Animal Farm explains how having one leader with absolute power can become too much in a society

When using the same tactics as your enemy makes you your enemy

Plains of a utopian society can never stand strong, people always will fight against what is holding them back

Vonnegut the CriticVonnegut was more on the fact that the

government is always trying to hind the truth

Equality and sameness it can not to be in two of the same societies

When Vonnegut writes about the handicaps it is kind of say imprisonment of difference

Scott the CriticVonnegut’s story could reflected more on how

people let the government do certain things and not fight against it

Having one leader that becomes domineering over everyone it represent simple minded thinking, it creates an unrealistic society

In America, in the year 2081, people did not do anything to fight against the Handicap General except for Harrison

Americans or anyone just would not stand around and not fight for their freedom

Tying it all TogetherOur world is full of wants and needs Power is man kinds greatest

weakness, every time someone possess a scents of control it goes straight to their heads

Equality is not sameness that is why sometimes it becomes hectic

People do not realize the difference is what makes us equal

Equality is when people are no better than any one else
