In chapter one in the book Animal Farm, they go through a stage where they want to rebel against the farmer because they think they are being mistreated. They think they are being mistreated because the farmer supposedly takes everything from them; for example, the cows think they are getting their milk taken from them, and the chickens think their eggs are getting taken from them. So, the question is have you ever wanted to rebel against someone or something because you were being treated unfairly? I think everybody has experienced this. One time at one of my softball tournaments, I didn't get to play for three games. So, finally I went up to my coach and asked him why I wasn't getting playing time. I wanted to just tell him I quit, but then I thought to myself; why would I put all this way just for not getting to play in one tournament? My coach's response to why I didn't get playing time was because every other tournament I get to play every single game and he thought I needed a break. Sometimes when you think you're getting treated unfairly, don't go straight to a conclusion, take little steps and find out the real reason why you're getting treated differently then before. This relates to Animal Farm because they are all just going straight to conclusions and don't get why the farmer is "taking" things from them.
