I Don't Know

many personal experiences I realized my social location. I realized my social location through race, through gender, and also through ability/disability. All three of the experiences made me realize not just where my position was in society but it made me understand other people’s social locations.

The day seemed to drag on and on, as I waited, counting down the days to California. It was a humid, sunny afternoon down at the Alton pool, where I usually spend most of my summer days working as a lifeguard. Today was very different than most…. And maybe the reason why was because it was my last day of work before I flew off to the big L.A. Most days at the pool the time went by slower than any I have ever known, with the scorching hot sun burning my skin, and little kids yelling at their…

afar I sit on my front porch swing with my dog beside me. As I look at him, I remember why I work so hard at school and think about how my compassion towards animals has led me to become so interested in the well being of animals. Because of the situation that we went through, it became clear to me that I not only had an interest, but a passion for helping animals when hurting or ill and that I would love to do everything that I possibly can to help them through their pain. My family and I got…

In any story centering around power, whether it be historical or fictional, propaganda is a vital aspect. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, propaganda is used widely and effectively. This story revolves around a group of animals who rebel against their unjust human masters and take over the farm they slaved on, but of course, propaganda plays a big part in the events further on. The mastermind behind so much of this manipulation is the ever talented pig, Mr. Squealer. His efficiency with words is…

the animals about Mr. Jones and his lack of filling those requirements. Old Major knows the animals need to make change, and “...that rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years” and even if it takes a while “..sooner or later justice will be served”(3). The justice that will be served is that the needs of the animals will be met, along with a perfectly run society. Old Major and the animals know the way Mr. Jones treats them is poor, they want more. The need to get what…

are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?” ― William Golding, Lord of the Flies. The speech was said that by one of the boys. What the boy meant by the speech was that they were not able to control themselves so they started acting in a savage way. (I found this quote in goodreads). Animal Farm is about an unspecified Animal farm and Lord of the Flies are both related in savagery, and power. There is Snowball, and Ralph. There is Napoleon, and Jack. Napoleon, and Jack only want power, and use…

to any words that comes out of his mouth. The other piece Squealer can do is to manipulate the animals to do what Napoleon wants. Squealer is the servant to Napoleon and does what he says, for another quotation when Squealer is manipulating them is “I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice…. you make your decisions for yourselves” (55). Squealer’s speeches can have that tweak for the animals to believe the words are the truth and can manipulate the animals into believing him.…

Does power corrupt? Yes, I think power does corrupt. What do you think? Have you ever felt that someone that has power or is stronger than you is controlling you to get into wrong things or bad things. Some people have the power and sometimes they get away with their power. Then that person starts doing bad things and that person is a person that doesn’t do that.
