Animal Farm as Satire paragrah 1
What happens when leaders get to powerful they could possibly get? George Orwell wrote the book called Animal Farm in a country called England. He wrote this to critize dictators and their blind followers. George Orwell uses irony, symbolism, and exaggeration to maker Animal Farm an satire for dictators. Animals gets killed for betrayal to Napolean. Snowball gets chase out of the farm by dogs. Napolean wants him out of the picture so no one him back. Napolean wants everyone to think that Snowball was trader. Some animals said Snowball was telling them to disobey Napolean. A sheep murder a goat that was a follower of Napolean by chasing it around. Some said that he said to urinated in the drinking water. "They was slaughter on the spot". The animals came out and confess what they were hiding from Napolean. Some chickens would keep food in their nests and eat it at night. The chickens said that they was not producing any more eggs because Old Major said it was wrong. Napolean said if they won't produce they won't eat.

Animal Farm 10/23/08
Why does Napolean lies to the other animals? Napolean lies to the other animals because he is afraid that they might Snowball back. Napolean changes the commadmemts about sleeping in the bed to sleeping in a bed with sheets. Then he has Squealer tell them that it wasn't good to sleep in a bed with sheets. The commandment said "NO ANIMAL SHALL SLEEP IN A BED WITH SHEETS. Napolean lies to gain trust. Napolean lies to about having the idea of the windmill being stolen from him by Snowball. Squealer say to the animals " It is hard for Napolean being a leader of a farm. Napolean lies to get full credit. He lies and says that the windmill was his idea. He wanted the animals to think he was a better leader than Snowball. Napolean lies because he knows that the animals are to dumb to speak out for themselfves.

I found this article on google.com and I search Martin Luther King Jr. bios. this is a primary choice I chose to do on MLKJ. King grew up singing in his church choir. In 1935, his father changed both of their names to Martin to honor the German Protestant. Young Martin attended segregated public schools and graduated from high school at age 15.n 1948, he received his B.A. degree from Morehouse College in Georgia.n 1955, he received a Ph.D. from Boston University, where he also met his future wife, Coretta Scott , with whom he had four children.Between 1957 and 1968, King canvassed the country and appeared more than 2500 times to speak in protest against injustices toward his race. Dr.King did his best to make peace between the two races. He wanted all the segregated schools to come together. He protested for blacks to have the same rigths as the whites, such as voting.In the spring of 1968, King went to Memphis, Tennessee, to show support for black city workers striking for higher wages and better treatment. He was shot and killed on April 4, 1968 as he stood on the balcony of his motel there. Dr.King was only of age 39 when he was assassinated. All he wanted was a change. This I chose him because its is base on what is going on today, we need a change. Micheal(Martin) Luther King Jr. fighting for his rights actually killed him, but he did it.

"THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME"
In the story "The Most Dangerous Game" General Zaroff values liberty more than equality. Zaroff likes to hunt a lot to the point he gets bored of it sometimes. Zaroff thinks he needs more of a challenge, so he starts to hunt people. when he goes and hunt them he only supplies them with a little food and something to drink with a knife to offend there self, and says in order for them to survive they have to be living on the third night. Zaroff doesn't care about how humans feel about being hunted. He says "life is for the strong". He belives that the strong should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want. He lives in luxury on a island by himself. He gets his clothes shipped to them and he food made and sent to him too. Basically he owns that island no one can tell him what to do. Zaroff values liberty more because he has it all, he has a mansion, a survant, a nice bed, and the whole island to himself so he thinks that if he has that he can hunt humans, he thinks he can have it all.
