What are the strengths and weaknesses of having to much power of people or things?

In Animal Farm, there are many issues that the animals are having with their owner, Mr. Jones. For example, Mr. Jones makes sure to feed them the amount of food to where they won't starve, and they don't like that at all. Additionally, in life, I think that when people overpower, like France taking over Haiti, isn't the best way to go because, when taking over you're basically taking away the rights and ways that the people want to live. Also, a strength to overpowering is that you may be helping who or what you are overpowering. Unlike Animal Farm, animals that are in danger, like a dog getting hit by a car, could really use the help because they won't be able to take care of themselves as well as they did if they were free. Animal Farm is a great way for people to understand that overpowering isn't always a good thing. When being overpowered, the people that are in control have the rights to really do anything that they want, so they could mistreat them and get away with it, and that's not fair. Like in Animal Farm, Mr. Jones takes away the hen's eggs, that could of been her children, and the cows and pigs offspring was taken away to be sold for money to support himself. The story shows how the animals want their freedom and the ways that they were going to make them happen, which we call is a revolution.

Who holds the most power in your life?

My parents are the people who would hold the most power in my life. For example, my parents show me what obstacles that there are in life, so that I can go far by knowing what to look for. In addition, they tell me about the good and bad in life, like war and money! For me to go far in life, they talk with me about my grades and to shoot for a goal to keep reaching. Also, my mom and dad teach me what things to do, rather thank things I shouldn't do in my life. They basically give me leverage but won't let me fall. Next, my dad, for example, works as a truck diver and shows my brothers and sister that you have to work really hard to get the good things in life, such as a nice car and the expensive electronics. Even though my parents can be tough on me about my future, they do it so that I can get a better life than they did as kids, and so we can go far in life. So as you can see, my parents are the ones who hold the most power in my life.

Why do kids and teens runaway?

One in seven kids, and teens, between the ages of 10 and 18 runaway from home at some point. There are also 1 million to 3 million children who runaway, or are just homeless, who are living on the streets in the United States. Many people believe that running away from home is not the best way to go; where as, if you're getting abused, for example, and you feel the need to runaway, you need to make sure that you go to a safe place!


There are many reasons that children runaway from home. First of all, a lot of kids leave because they have parents who are drunks. Drunk parents usually only care about their alcohol rather than their children; therefore, they run away. For example, on a movie that I've seen, the mother and father were drunks and their house had NO food at all! Then, the father had gotten paid at work but brought home alcohol instead of food, so of course, his kids were left hungry. Parents who are alcoholics usually don't care about the accomplishments their children make in school or sports; they only care about their drinks! Next, many runaways may leave because they don't want what their parents are pushing them to do, such as sports and their careers. They go because they may not want to go to Harvard or they don't want to play basketball. So as you can see, many kids runaway from home because they are sick and tired of having to try and get some food once in a while, and they really don't want what their parents are telling them to go for in life, maybe, they want to do their own things.


The most popular reason why kids decide to runaway would have be because they are getting abused. There are many different ways to get abused, such as sexually, verbally, and physically. Children runaway because they can't take the pain of feeling violated or embarrassed because they are being hurt. There is a chance of them believing that they are in danger of getting being beaten to death. In a music video, called "Runaway Love", that I have seen; it showed a story about a little girl who had a single father who was a drunk and physically abused her. She wanted really bad to runaway because she feared that she was going to die; so she did leave. Also, many of the people who decide not to runaway from being abused is because their parents are keeping them there with threats and bribes. As a result, they will decide to runaway from home because they are told by friends and teachers to go to a place where it can actually be safer than their house. So as you can see, the main reason a child,or teen, runs away from home is because they don't want to be abused sexually, verbally, or physically, any longer!

Finally, kids and teens tend to runaway from home because they just simply don't like the life that they are living. They imagine the life that they could of had if they were born into a family where they weren't abused, they didn't have alcoholic parents, and lastly they could get what they actually wanted. That's why many children and teens decide to runaway to a more safer place then the place they are now.
