Why is Animal Farm Important?

The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is important because it teaches us things that we should know. One thing that it teaches us is that if we don't agree with something, we can change it and make it fair. Old Major tries convincing all of the animals in the farm to revolt against Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones has the animals work all day for him but they don't get anything they want in return. Because Mr. Jones does this to them, the boar, Old Major shares a dream that he had about revolting against him. Since we're people, we can have these problems with rulers and bosses, almost anyone. We can change unfair things by fighting for what we believe in. You may think that someone else will just do it later so you don't even try, but why wait? I don't think that you should wait for someone else to do what you could've done long before. You might even be gone before it happens. So, I think this book teaches us that we shouldn't wait for something unfair to change later; we should try to make things better. Even if it doesn't happen, it is still worth it because you're fighting for something you believe in and for a good cause. These are some of the reasons why I think Animal Farm is important.

What is Power?

Power is strength and control over something. It is might and force and the ability to do or act. Someone earns or keeps power by being smart and confident and saying what they know is right. They try to be the best they can be. They try not to mess up, because if they do they might lose that power. Losing and not being trustworthy or doing something that will make people dislike you can also cause you to lose power. The people who disagree with your beliefs and what you do aren't helping you keep your power. What holds the most power in my life is my family, especially my mom, because they all teach me so much and inspire me. They also make the rules i have to follow. What makes me powerful is my personality and how nice I am to everyone that makes them feel better about themselves.

Why There Are So Many Overweight Americans

Sixty-five percent of America is overweight and scientists think over seventy-five percent will be overweight by 2015, as it tells you at this website. So many Americans are overweight and they hardly ever do anything about it and it's getting to be a big problem. While some people think so many Americans are overweight because they are couch potatoes, they have no reason to look good, their busy schedule or because they eat a lot of junk, the main reason is that they are just lazy.
Most people say the reason that so many Americans are overweight is because they spend all of their time being on the couch watching movies and eating fast food like a couch potatoes. Those people think they do this because they don't care how they look and they aren't active at all. Also, because they are so busy that they might not even have any time to exercise.
Americans' obesity starts because they are lazy. When they're young, people stay inside on the computer or watching television and eating while they do that. Instead, they should be outside running around and having fun. They get used to staying in and being that way and once they are older, they don't like being outside or doing anything that will help them exercise. Soon, they become overweight and they're too lazy and not used to exercising that they refuse to do it. Americans could also start gaining lots of weight because they are depressed and don't have any friends, so they stay home and eat and be lazy. Once Americans gain all that extra weight, they should be trying to lose it, but they are too lazy to exercise because it's really tiring, especially when carrying all that weight around with you. However, they shouldn't be complaining because it's not doing a lot compared to being healthy. Some overweight people don't want to go out exercising because they are embarrassed and don't want people to see them. Another reason that shows that they are lazy is that they always go to fast food restaurants. You don't even have to get out of the car to order and get your food! And places like McDonald's and Burger King have about a million calories and tons of fat in each burger! Still, people go there anyway because it's easy and convenient and so familiar. If they ate real food and something healthy sometimes, that would help a whole bunch! I think one other thing that many people do is they plan to start exercising regularly and do something about their weight problem, and once they get to that time, they push it back and say "Oh, I'll just do it later, I've been too busy." We just make excuses for everything instead of just doing it.
These are some of the reasons that I think Americans are overweight because of their laziness. They stay home and watch television, they eat the worst food, they don't exercise and they don't do what they should, they just make excuses. This issue is so important because we don't want America to be so lazy and teach their kids to be the same way or else we will all be like those overweight people in the movie, Walle, that can't do anything for themselves. This is why we all need to stay active and try our best not to become overweight.
