Why is Animal Farm a important story to tell?

Animal Farm is a important story to tell because it shows that if you are being treated badly you can revolt or try to stop the power that is controlling you. In the first chapter Old Major, a pig at the farm, tells all the animals about his life and his dream that he had the night before. He tells a story about how the animals do all the work and they don't a lot of food or anything. I remember when I could have used this info. When I was little I wasn't the biggest kid on the block but I didn't let people mess around with me I just didn't talk to them. Back the book, during Old Majors speech he said that he couldn't take himself being controlled by man so he got his friends to join him to overthrow man. But sadly at the end of the chapter Old Major dies in his sleep so only his friends can overthrow man now.

Power

Power has a lot of meanings but the one that i think is right is that power is a thing that man and women strive for and want in their life. Everyone wants some kind of power in their life's because it makes you feel important and at the top of your game kind of. Some time in your life you will try to beat someone to a goal or a job, something like that but that is trying to get more power too. If you don't try to strive for something then your whole life is pointless because you would just stay the same old person your whole life and you would just not do anything. People have studied that if u aren't striving for anything in your life then you most likely are depressed. Overall you should always try to get something better in your life because then it won't be boring.

Overweight Heredity

About 33% of kids in America are obese which means that they are overweight. People have told me that some reasons that America is obese are due to fast food, video games, laziness, depression, and no exercise but the main reason that many Americans are overweight is heredity.

Some people think that fast food is to blame for the U.S. being overweight because we have McDonald's and Burger Kings all over the place. Other people think that video games are the most important reason because kids that play all day have a bad diet and don’t get a lot of exercise. Another group of people believe that laziness is the cause of obesity because if you are sitting around all day and eating chips you wont get the right amount of exercise. Many people think that depression is the reason because when some people are depressed they just eat the pain out. Other Americans think that no exercise is to blame in this because if you don’t exercise you most likely will become overweight.

The main reason why America is more overweight then most of the other countries is heredity. For example if you are born with overweight parents there’s a chance that you will develop their life style, which is most of the time not healthy. Obesity causes about 300,000 deaths each year in America. Another example is that if your family has a history of being overweight you might become obese when they get older. About 50% of kids with one parent who is obese became obese. Kids with both parents that are obese are at 80% chance that they will become obese.

This is important because if you are over weight then you can do a lot less in your life and might turn into depression.The biggest reason for America being overweight is heredity and needs to be fixed or it will become an even bigger problem in the future.
