George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, depicts life on Animal Farm, where its inhabitants live under the false sense of leadership when a tyrannical leader is oppressing them. Initially, Manor Farm is run by a drunkard farmer named Mr. Jones, but the animals revolt to have a better way of life only to end up just where they started.

If a runner is attempting to move from second to third on a fly ball to left field, let your outfielder attempt to throw the runner out unless it is an incredibly deep fly ball. Chances are that a fly ball in a Little League game will be within a young players range, and he will be able to reach third base with a strong throw.

Both short stories are dark and gloomy accounts of the main characters' station in society and their self-imposed isolation.

The short story, “Boys and Girls,” by Alice Munro is about a little girl who at the beginning of the story is used to being her father’s helper with his fox farming business, but later, falls into the female stereotype she desperately tries to fight.

America gained its independence in 1776 with the expectation that every American should have liberty and equality. However, American women did not have the right to vote until 1920, which was almost more than 140 years after the United States was established.
