“The Seven Commandments
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.” (p. 43)
The seven commandments from the Animal Farm was the most unbelievable and wordless passage. I was speechless. I was irritated by the foolish act of humans. In our modern civilization, there are crimes everywhere we go. Killing and murdering are some of the main ones. I think that humans should consider changing their iniquitous image to a righteous image. Humans are worse than animals! What the HECK!!! (SRY)
Dirty, unjust, crazy are some of the words that can represent humans. In the point of view of animals they will think that we are incredibly awful. After reading the first two commandments, I thought that animals must have had a bad influence from humans to have such rules. What could humans have done to be enemies of animals? Putting the food supply reason on the side, I thought about other reasons. The rest of the commandments told me everything. In the book, the farmer was drunk all the time when the animals saw him. Because he was drunk, Mr. Jones often forgot to feed his animals. Every time he got money from selling his farm products, he used it for his alcohol enjoyment. Because selling pigs was what Jones did for their living, the animals thought of him as a murderer, separating family members of animals. I thought that the last commandment was made because humans treated the animals unfairly. For example, I hypothesized that the pigs were fed more because Jones wanted to sell them for money.Because humans showed sinful images to animals, animals have been influenced by creating rules to prevent what humans have done to them from happening. Us, humans should work on being on the “good” list of animals. No more killing! No more alcohols!

Sorry DK but I slightly disagree with you. Still I do agree that people don't even try to make laws that deal with moral things. But later on the animals all break the rules and change it. They aren't any different from people in society. I don't think that people are doing whats right but if you can't keep rules that you make whats the point of making rules? I think its worse to make rules and then break them then breaking then in the first place. Still I can understand what you are trying to get accross to other people. Good job!
