What I already know about Animal Farm?
In the book Animal Farm deals with a whole bunch of animals that want to rebel, because they think their being treated unfairly. One day all the animals go into the barn because Major had a dream. His dream was about animals and how they’re treated so badly. And he says that humans are the enemy and they should not stoop to their level. And he asks that is that the way nature intended it that animals be put into misery their whole life, no a thousand times no. He said that a rebellion would come, for it would change the way animals were treated forever. He got them all riled up and they all wanted a rebellion to come. And then he sang The Beasts of Ireland. But Major sadly died a couple days later. So Snowball and Napoleon take over and turn Majors dream into a whole philosophy. And called it animalism which is basically communism (a form of socialism).

Power
What is power a lot of people might be asking that question everyday and they want an answer. Well for you people asking that question even though you may have power everyday. Power is something everyone wants to have, or to have control over someone or something. When it’s usually over something emotional, like in your head rather than physical.
You may get power by being liked or pressured to feel like you need to be in control. For example you may have people who like you a lot, basically your best friends, and well you may get over whelmed and have to have power over everyone and anything. Because you want them to look up to you, and if they do then they will do what you want too do. Even though that will make you feel like you’re helping them, they trust you and you will want to control even more. They could earn your trust by following their rules and then using it against them.
Another reason why you could get power is because people just maybe scared of you. Since they don’t want to make you angry, they could be afraid that you're going to hurt them. Or you may threaten to hurt someone they know.
Some ways you may lose your power is if you taking advantage of too many people. The people that are following you may get sick of being used so they stick together and try to take you out of your power. They may stop listening to you and caring about you.
That is what power is and what someone can do to get power and also how they can loose their power.

Money, a dream job, and a family are a couple things almost all teenagers want. However out of all the things teenagers want the main one, would be to be skinny. While some people argue about reasons for so many girls suffer from eating disorders are peer pressure, depression, and Barbie which are all very good causes. The most important factor contributing to so many girls suffer from eating disorders is the self image and all the stress to be impossibly skinny that all teenagers get stuck in their head.
Peer pressure definitely has an impact on eating disorders; from kids making fun of them to having no friends. As a result stress comes into mind and takes over and we all say "oh yeah I can stop anytime" but is that time ever going to come. The magazines or as I like to call it deadly vortex of gossip also goes under eating disorders because of the models spread all throughout it. Which cause girls wanting to be like that and that so called "perfect size"? Shopping is extremely dreadful because all those sizes screaming out at you. Also the stick people with no face (manikins) who have the perfect shirt in only one size that no one else has and sadly it doesn't fit. Because not all people are meant to fit into super small clothes it’s just not right. Like just a couple weeks ago me and my sister were babysitting, one of our relatives who's 9 years old. And she broke down in tears and we asked you know whats wrong. She said I have no boyfriend and I'm fat. And I'm looking at her like you've got to be kidding. No she was serious. And she probably weighs like 60-80 pounds. I don't know her exact weight but I thought that was sad; I mean a 9 year old who has allot ahead of her is worrying about how she looks.
I’ve found out that it is very easy to fall into depression mode. The cause would have to be something that upset or disastrous happened in your life. Because if you already feel so horrible about yourself you want it to stop. So you cover it up by an eating disorder even if you don't know you’re doing it. Some people may even fall into depression because their stressed or just don't know what to do. They don't know how to ask for help because their probably scared and don't know how to get it out right away and don't know how to solve it.
I know this might sound silly but do you think a toy could corrupt the minds of little kids and as a result have an eating disorder? Well I say yes and the reason why I say yes is because we all (girls) pick out the famous most impossible to be like, prettiest doll in the world and her name is Barbie. I mean have you ever wondered why Barbie is so skinny to the point that her bust is bigger than her waist. And she gets everything she wants and even more. I used to think that Barbie was like an idol or something. Well that's what she is right a doll that almost all girls want to be like. To have multiple jobs and a perfect boyfriend and a dream house to sum it all up the perfect life. Now why wouldn't any girl want to be like her to the extant were they would do anything.
The most important topic on eating disorders id the self image. I think we all have different self images but when you’re a teenager it’s almost always the same. Perfect structure don't ask me what the perfect structure is because I don't like to think about it but I bet you could think of one. The main reason for this self image would have to be the models that I talked about up above. I'm going back to the shopping part because I hate when you walk in a store and it has two signs that separate people. You know plus to the right and regular to the left. What does regular even mean. I guess it’s a nice way of saying skinny and plus size is a nice way of well fat. It makes me sad why can’t they just all be in the same category? What I don't get is that it’s pretty wired that if you’re about twenty something and you’re a size zero that would probably be a model. See models are basically well known and so are celebrities. So if celebrities are idols then that means models are too right? Right models are idols so why do magazines post them as so skinny if you have to work hard to get there. See here's another thing that their job so if you don't want to become a model why are you trying so hard to be that perfect structure. Guess what I found out that top models now have to be above a size zero otherwise people won’t take them. So you know what that means right you can stop worrying I'm not skinny enough.
One other main cause for the self image is stress. It’s so easy to get stressed to where you start to panic and don't think about what you’re doing. Most kids between the ages of about 8-18 are worrying about wanting to fit in/be popular. If trying to fit in or being popular means that you have to make the cut then why would you want to be their friends any way. I think so many people are better off not worrying or stressing out about being popular I mean everybody has at least one person they can talk to. And if you don't the other people are just being jerks. I’ve found out that most not all but most popular kids are jerks. And if you think that starving yourself or being exactly like them just so they'll notice you is probably stressing you out. So why do it. Just be stress free and most of all be yourself.
If you really want to lose weight that's fine but make sure you’re not trying to go for that self image look. Because you want to be at a healthy weight for your height and gender and not under weight because that probably won’t get you a modeling job. If you want to lose weight don't starve yourself just always eat the right proportions and throughout the day and not all at once. And try eating healthier foods like fruits and vegetables compared to greasy foods. Also talk to your doctor or pediatrician so they can monitor you. And always find people who can be with you and support you through your diet and motivate you. You can do it!
