Equality In Animal Farm By George Orwell

“All animals are created equal, although, some animals are more equal than others.” This famous quote is from the astonishing novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell. This book uses a family of farm animals to criticize the government and mankind for straying from true equality. Equality doesn’t just have a logical meaning but an emotional one.

Today's society is not a perfect world; it isn't a place where everyone can walk hand and hand, not having to worry about the color of your skin affecting the way your life turns out. Racism is still out there trying to grasp the hearts of every American. “One of the worst things about racism is what it does to young people”, which leads them down the wrong path.
