Some are More Equal than Others

A lesson that I learned from reading the book Animal Farm is that all people can never be equal. Even if everyone was to receive the same schooling, some people would still do better, putting them at a higher level. In Animal Farm, all of the animals attempted to learn how to read, but some animals were not smart enough to get past the first few letters of the alphabet. Because the pigs were smart enough to read and write, they were more powerful than the other animals. In real life this happens as well. It may not be a specific group that rises to power in real life. It can be just one person who gets things more than others. Those people can go on to be leaders in government which makes them more powerful and influential.
