Animal Farm Politics

Societies can easily be described as a group of people living in either an organized or unorganized community. The society that we live in today in 2018 can be seen as this unorganized mess, which is similar to the society in Animal Farm. Today's society can be compared to the atmosphere of Animal Farm due to the fact that our Nation’s leaders have made numerous false promises and fabricated the truth, recent candidates in elections and debates running for government office have acted like children and argued the whole time, and in our society we follow our politicians aimlessly. Have you ever been promised something but the person who promised you never delivered upon it? That’s how I feel living in the U.S. in 2018. Leaders of our nation

people running for government office have acted like complete imbeciles. While watching debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton I felt as if I was watching a very unorganized tennis match. Back and forth and back and forth, all they did was argue. Instead of talking about what they were going to do for our society they just argued with each other about various scandals. As a country we should be coming together as a nation, but instead we argue and belittle people and major issues. While reading Animal Farm I felt as if I was back sitting in front of the television watching the debates. While Snowball and Napoleon were running for the leader position they held debates. Snowball and Napoleon just bickered back and forth and disagreed on practically everything. As it is said in the text, “The two disagreed at every point where disagreement was possible” (Orwell 47). Everything that they could disagree on they did. I can infer that the animals probably got sick of Napoleon and Snowball arguing. Napoleon even peed on Snowball’s plans. To demonstrate, “...then he suddenly lifted his leg, urinated all over the plans, and walked away without uttering a word” (Orwell 50). Napoleon acted like a child. He peed on plans that were not his just to intimidate Snowball. I can infer that Snowball and Napoleon were more focused on arguing with each other rather than purpose their ideas to the other

Sometimes people fall into the trap of blind faith. If someone was to say to you that they would give you everything you want as long as you vote for them, you would probably vote for them, right? As Americans we are listening to our politicians say everything we want to hear. But do they have a plan? Both candidates in the Presidential election (Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump) both used the same techniques to get on their side. Obviously one was better at getting voters to believe everything they said, unless the election was actually rigged. What America has failed to do as a society is ask “what comes next”? After all of the elections are said and done and we elect a new President, how are these plans and ideas going to play out? I can say over and over again that I am going to do something, but unless I get up and do it, it will not get done. Donald Trump does not have a plan for our country and is essentially flying by the seat of his pants. This is also similar to Animal Farm in the way that Napoleon and Snowball debated about their plans for the farm. Snowball’s plans were clearly thought out and organize. On the other hand, Napoleon had no plans. After Napoleon had run off Snowball he stole all of his plans and said that they were his. In the middle of the book it states, “ Starvation stared them in the face” (Orwell 74). Napoleon had no plan on how they were going to get
