Egypt and Animal Farm

     As I take a closer look at the results of our classes collective Egypt research, I find many connections between the revolution Orwell described in Animal Farm and the events in Egypt, Tunisia, Honduras, etc. For one, both of the rebellions seem to evolve in the same way. In Animal Farm and Egypt, both systems of government are controlled by one individual even though there seems to be one that one person in charge of the government's organization. In Animal Farm, Mr. Jones, the original owner of the farm, has four helpers who help him take care of the farmer. In Egypt, the president has advisers and his cabinet to help him keep track and take care of what is happening within their ruling system.
     The second thing Animal Farm and Egypt have in common is their type of government - in short, the leaders of both governments can be called tyrants. Both governments begin with a ruler who is cruel - the animals in Animal Farm were not fed daily and were often punished when they were under the rule of Mr. Jones while a citizen of Egypt willingly like himself of fire to protest against the injustice he faced while living in Egypt. In relation to what caused the protest in Egypt and the rebellion in Animal Farm, both governments seem to end up in a position worse than where they started off. In Animal Farm, Napoleon ended up treating the animals worse than how Mr. Jones had treated them before the rebellion and the vice-president of Egypt seems to be more corrupted than the original president.
     Third, interference takes place in both Animal Farm and Egypt after the protest and rebellion. In Animal Farm, the humans tried to retake the farm and would go as far as trying to destroy the windmill. In Egypt, American seems to be influencing Egypt to accept a certain proposal or bargain.
     Therefore, I think that George Orwell, the writer of Animal Farm, is able to have events in his book connect with many of the events that are currently happening in Egypt.
