Napolean believed that the children are the ones who should be educated. Instead of the animals that are already full grown. Napolean's ideas/goals were to make sure the animals lived and had food and education at a young age. Squealer changes stories drastically so that the animals will believe him. In our government, when things happen, they have somebody tell the press what happened. Sometimes they don't tell the truth though. A time when someone convinced me to follow someone would be when my friend Zack got me to follow him at Zapzone. He became the leader of the group and devised the strategies when we were playing laser tag. I think it was a good decision for me to make because i'm not good at leading and I'm not very good at devising strategies.

Napoleon's idea about education is that all questions relating to working on the farm would be held by a group of pigs,presied over by himself,. Then the animals will communicate their decions to the others. His ideas are important for creating a society because its imortant to make sure that everyone know what their job is. Squealer is able to convince the other animals to accept whatever Napoleon decides by telling lies about Snowball. For example, when Squealer told everyone that the windmill idea was Napoleon's idea. This process resembles the ideals of government when two people do a campaign because they have to make up a few lies to win. Someone in my own convinced me to tell on somebody,but I don't remember what for. They were able to do this by pure pressure. No because I felt really bad that I told on them.

Mr. Kay,
Napoleon's ideals about education are not that the grown animals should be educated, but that the new young animals on the farm should be well educated. Napoleon's ideas are important to the ideals of creating a society because he knows ways that will keep the animals on the farm safe, and be feed regularly. Squealer is able to convince the other animals to accept whatever Napoleon decides because he makes Snowball sound like he was only doing things that would help him. Like he streched the truth very far. Well I think that this process is like the government because it resembles the two parties. The Democrates and the Republicans, they are always debating things, and in the end, usually, one wins over the other. A time in my life where someone has led me to believe something and to follow it would have to of been when I was around 6 or 7 years old. I was at church in sunday school, and all of my techers kept telling me about Jesus. My mom talked with me about his great miracles, and one day, I asked one of my teachers to explain what it meant to be "baptised", and after that I was hocked. I wanted to follow in Jesus' path. I was baptised on that following Easter Sunday. The best day of my life happened when I stood in front of the church and accepted the Lord as my savior. Becoming apart of Jesus was the best decision I have ever made. I could never think of how my life would be if I didn't accept him as my Savior.

Napolean's ideas on education was that the young should be educated rather than the older generation. Napolean took the puppies under his care to educate them; but really to add to his power. Our society is set up to educate our young so that they contribute to the good of our society. Squealer was able to convince the other animals Napoleon's ideas was by manipulating them, tricking them, and scaring them by telling them that Mr. Jones was going to back to the farm. This process is the same that our government is involved in. Just take a look at the presidential race that we just went throught. All the media back stabbing and propaganda that is sent our way. A time that I was convinced to follow was when a group of kids convinced me to play ding-dong ditch. This was when we would ring the door bells of people's home at night and run. Now the decision is not appealing to me. This seems kind of silly now and I wish that I would not have participated.

Napolean believes that people should be educated in their youth. Not people that are fully grown and old. I think that his ideas are like those of a society because he is trying to build a foundation for the future. Squealer managed to convince people about Napolean bacause he says that snowball was only our for his own good. He believed snowball was trying to make everything it the way he wanted, not the best possible way. This resembles our goevernment from campaigns and mudslinging. I tihnk that there is so muc badmouthing between candidates that there is not enough truthful evidence about any of the people running. I think that one of the worst things i have ever gotten convinced to do was to spend money on this hockey training equiptment. They were able to convince me because i saw someone demonstrating it at a tournament and it looked so easy and so fun, and a way to get better. But when mine actually came, you niticed it didnt work like the other one and they wete false advertising because the one i saw was "suped" up. This was definately a bad descision on my part because i think that it was a waste of money for something that doesnt work.
Napolean believed that the children should be the one's they focused on educating. This is important because the children are what carry on traditions. When someone grows up learning one way, they never really question it. It will just come natural to them. Squealer is able to convince the other animals by twisting stuff around. He made what seemed good actually bad, such as Snowball. He also put the spin on what was really bad, good, such as being told exactly what to do by Napolean. In governments thoughout history, people in government gain too much power and they become hard to stop. One time my friend came over to my house and we just got a trampoline. My friend is absolutly amazing at stuff like dance and gymnastics so she could do a flip with no problem. Of course she decided to teach me how but I didn't really want to because I'm never good at that sort of thing. However, she convinced me by saying it was easy and keeping at it so I tried but couldn't do it. After she left I decided to keep trying even though I had a feeling it would end badly. Of course, it did and I landed on my neck. For weeks my neck was extremly stiff and I tilted it on an angle would crack extremly loud. Finally my mom took me to the doctors and they decided that I needed physical theropy for like 6 weeks, 2 times every week. I knew it wouldn't end well but I did it anyway because she was really convincing.

His ideas are for the young to get a WELL education so that the furture of the farm is in good hands. His ideas are important cuz if the young dont get educated then the furture of the farm is in the hands of a bunch of dumb ass's. He has to make sure the furtur of the farm is safe. Squeler is very WELL with words. It is so easy for him to convince the others that napolaen's ideas are WELL cuz there is no one else saying not to. It resembles people with power can get ahead in the game cuz they can get the weaker ones out. Just like politics. If someone has the most money for campaigning and gets there word out better and stuff. Well in my life the person that is the most popular i tend to listen to. Like when Zack S. and Timmy W. pulled the wires from the t.v. they did it cuz someone told them to cuz they thought it would be funny. This was not a WELL desision on there part.

Napolean has strong believes about a good education. He believes that you should start getting educated at a young age. If someone starts to get educated earlier the better it is to create a society. Its like a long process or tradition, if everyone gets a good education and is intelligent the better the society will be. Squealer is able to convince the other animals to accept whatever Napolean decides. This is because he convinces them that Snowball is only their to dictate the animals rather than helping them make the right decisions to the farm. This resembles the process of government because when elections start arising, thats all you hear about is the two canidates talking trash about one another, and how they would be the better person for the job. I know that in the mall, they have those miny shops, like kyosk shops in the center of the mall. The people always try to convince you to buy their particular product they are selling. I personally think it is annoying and usually ignore them. But ive seen other people that were tricked into buying it.
Clare Pathe
I belive that Napoleon does not anyone to be educated on the farm. He does this beacause he is power hungry, knowlege is power, and he does not want to share his power over the other animals. That is why he does not want all the animals to be eduacted, he wants power. His ideas are important beacause he is a leader, he is shaping how and why the aniamls live. He is in dirict influnce in how the live, he controls way too much. Squeler is able to convince everyone on the farm beacause he tells them what is happening so that Mr.Jones does not some back to the farm, and without the pigs that thier life would not be as good or it would be bad. He tells everyone that they need him and what he does is needed, in a government there is power strugles and then once someone is in power they use thir power in bad ways. An example of this in my life is that i sometimes am afried of roller costers, but my family always concvies me to go with they. They tell me that it will be fun and before i know it, it will be over. Man i love almost all roller coster but sometimes i just dont feel safe with them.

Napoleon thinks that the young animals on the farm should be educated and he devotes all of his time to them. His ideas are important to the ideals of creating a society because people have to start learning things when they are young to form habits that are good. Squealer is able to convince the other animals to listen to what napoleon says because he makes all the sheep start talking when Snowball argues so they can't hear him. It kind of resembles government because it is kind of bias and there's a lot of pressure involved to win. People can get nasty and not play fair. Someone has convinced me to follow someone else when I had to play paintball. I was with my youth group and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it or not. Everyone else decided to and tried to persuade me to come with them. They said they would protect me so that my mom wouldn't kill me for getting paint everywhere. It was a good decision on my part because it was a ton of fun and I'm glad I did it.
Napoleans ideas for education is to keep the young eductaed, His ideas are good for creating an ideal society because it keeps the farm safe and secure. Squealer always threaten mr. jones returnal and thats how he got animals to do things. He tricked them and manipulated them. This is like our own government because during campaigns we always hear the other guys saying that if you dont vote for me youll get this. Its always alot of mudslinging. A time in my life when i followed someone was when i decided to sneak out at night. They convinvedme that it was a good idea so i went along with it. It was a bad decision because we got caught.

Mr. Kay,
Napoleon believes that the young animals should get an education primarily before the older ones. His ideas are important because I really think he hopes for the future outlook. He wants to get the animals electricity, he wants them all to be smart. He just wants whats best for the society and that's what a society needs. Squealer says that Napoleon is really making sacrifices and that he is doing what is best. Also there is a chant the "Napoleons always right." It resembles actual government in the way that when one becomes a leader, another will follow. This will create a "band-wagon" where everyone wants to support that one leader.You want just a couple followers if you are a leader to spread the word. You will see this all the time in advertising. See, the more people spread the word of a product, the more it will sell. One person says a product is really good, sometimes, in pressure, one might say they like it to. They were able to do so just by the band wagon effect of word-of-mouth. I can't really tell if it is a good decision because it changes within products, but if a product is just based on this principle then it might not be to good. Some people just follow it and might not even like the product. But they say so anyways. So if I fall victim to this "band-wagon" type advertising, it is my fault. All the way.

Napoleon believes in good education at an early age. it makes sense becasue the more knowlegde you have the better off you'll be. we have knd of adoopted that by starting kids in school at kindergarten. if peple are smarter a society could run better becasue people would know what to do in situations. Squeler could be looked at like a campaign manager for a canidate running in an elecetion. to make Napolean look better than Snowball he basically has a "mudslinging campaign". he just makes Snowball look bad. this happens in goverment all of the time. i thnk that real problems are going to arise soon because in our society their are always debates in goverment. one time my friend wanted me to go look at this house but we weren't supppsed to be in the yard. i was walikng and stepped on a bees nest in the ground and they all swarmed around and i just keeped running. i got 13 bee stings and i wish i woud have just not gone.
Napoleon believes that all children and adolesents should be educated. He believes they are the foundation to building a better tomorrow. His ideas are important to today's society because educating the young will help our nation become smarter. We need to equip the young with education so they can create a better world for us. Squealer uses his good choice of words and manipulative tactics to play with everyones emotions. He gets people to think that what Snowball is doing is only for himself. He wants Napoleon in so he slanders Snowball as much as he can. This process comapares to real life government because in a way it is a democracy because people choose. Another comparison is how each of the candidates tries to promote their own ideas and slander the other's. One time in my life I was convinced to follow my dad's idea of playing soccer. He forced me into it and played with my emotions a little bit. He would use guilt and tell me I was great at soccer. However, this was a great decision on my part because I love soccer now and I am pretty good at it. now I am looking to go somewhere with soccer so I made a great decision.

Napoleon believed that the younger children should be the ones getting educated, rather than the older generation. I agree with Napoleon because after the older generation moves on the children are going to be the ones to take over, what would happen if they never learned how to lead the farm, or what their guidelines were? When the children grow up learning something in a certain way, they won't change the ways, it just comes naturally to them that way. Squealer is able to persuade the fellow animals into following Napoleons ideas by changing the stories around. Whatever that was meant to be bad, he made is seem actually good. In our government today, to me they don't seem to be coming up with such great ideas, but when members from Congress, and other members talk about their ideas, they exaggerate. They make like the ideas are great, and will help our economy, people will stop losing jobs, and will be able to relieve a steady income, but in reality, their not doing any of that. The government just makes things worse, way worse. In the world everyday, teens are being influenced to drink, do drugs, and commit felonies. Other teens persuade them by saying "Come on, it's a lot of fun, you won't get caught, I promise." or "What are you scared of? Are you a goody-two-shoe?". The teens make them feel bad and call them names for nothing doing it, when it's really not good for you, and you could get seriously hurt. I think that I made a good decision by not drinking, doing drugs, or committing felonies, because I don't want to be that person. I want to be the kind of person that will make the best for himself/herself, become successful. I don't want to risk my life, as well as others.

Napolean believed that its not about the old getting the education but the young. This helps in creating a society because then later generations will all be the same and know what is going on. Plus the old already have there ideas about life and so it would be hard to teach them becasue they could disagree with it. Squesler is such a good talker and debater that he can get pretty much anyone to listen to him. WEll this is like Squealer being a vice president and Napolean beind the president so like a democracy. One time someone convinced me to go skiing in the lake when i was young. They were able to do it because they had more people wanting me to do so i did it. However iut wasn't a good decision because i couldn't do it and everyone else could so i felt really dumb.
Ty Bouwens, 6th hour
Napolean had no plans for education. His plans were education of destruction and violence. He diddn't teach the dogs about math and things like that he tought them about violence. His ideas are important to him and his sosicety. He seems like a dictator and used the sdogs to achieve this. Squealer is able to convice the others that napolean is right because he says that leadership is a hard job, and that napolean took a big task for them. This resembels the govenment and how they do things and tell us that it is for our securety. A time when someone convinced me to follow someone. They were jumping of a train bridge and I followed. Yes, because it was fun, but no, because it hurt.

Napoleons ideas of education is that everyone is under his control. Also he really doesn't think anyone but pigs need to be educated. His ideas are important because he beginning all of whats going to go on in the farm society. Squealer convinces the others by telling lies to them so they thinks it all okay. This process resemble the process of socialism because only one person is in charge of everyone. Also there is a superior race among all of the farm animals. The superior race happens to be the pigs, which Napoleon is. When i talk about the government around my family my fathers side says that all of the government people are all crooks. The way he explains himself makes me believe the same thing. Before he explained himself i thought the government was all a good thing. So my dad change my view of the government substantially. I do think this was a good decision on this matter.
Napolean said that the children are the ones who should be educated. Animals are the ones who should not be. He goals are to make sure that every animal has a good life. THey get feed and educated at and early age. Every animal will be treated the same. Squealer managed to convince people about Napolean bacause he says that snowball was only our for his own good. well i have been around people smoking weed and other stuff. Everyone was just saying comeone do it its not that bad were all doing it. I said no. It was a good decision. it was the right.
Napolean believed that the children are the ones who should be educated. Instead of the grown up animals. Napolean's ideas were to make sure the animals lived, had food and education at a young age. Squealer is able to convince the other animals to accept whatever Napoleon decides by telling lies about Snowball. In the government, people gain too much power and they become hard to stop. Theres a game called ding dong ditching, people convince other kis to do that because its fun. And they tell them that its not big deal, to just have fun.

Mr. Kay,
Napolean beleived that only the young should be educated. He wanted to make suure that the young kids should be the ones learning so that when the older animals are dead, they will be able to lead. A time when I was convinced to do something was buying a paintball gun. I saw some of my friends had on ean dI thought that I had to have it. So I bought it. It turned out that it wasnt as amazing as I thought it was and I had wasted my money on it.
TIm WIlson
Napoleans thought that children should be getting the edcuation. Not the older animals beacuse it was a lost cause. The older animals were sort of a lost cause. They knew what they could learn. I think that Squealer can convince the animals because he tells the truth if you really listen to him, but he refrases it so it makes the pigs look good. A time in my life when I was concvinced by someone else was when I was hanging out with my cousin Carla and I was also hanging out with my older sister Amanda. We went to clairs where Carla's best friend worked. Seeing that the mall closed at 9 we went at 8:45 and stayed utill 9:30. Carla and her friend told us that we could take anything that we wanted. So my sister and I did. We stole 40 dollars worth of stuff. We came home and we were in big trouble. That was not a good decision to listen to her. I felt wrong when stealing the stuff.
Napoleon fells tha education is the basis for a good sociey. He thinks that the children should be the most eduacted becasue they are the future generation. He think that everyone needs to prepare for the future and think ahead. Squealer convinces the others to accept Napoleon's ideas by using clever speaking tactics. He says all he bad things about Snowball, and only say the good things about Napoleon. It resembles the ideas on government because the government hides a lot of things from the public. Like Obama, for example, is an idiot in my opinion, but thats only because i know the truth behind his policies and what he has done. Most people only hear the good things about him and refuse to accept bad things. One time, someone convinced me to let them cheat off of me. They were able to do so by saying i could play their ipod touch, and since it didn't hurt me, I accepted. The whole time, however, I was worried about getting caught, so it was a bad decision on my part.

Napolean is very strict when it comes to education. He thinks that every farm animal should spend their time learning how to read and write. He wants the farm animals to learn young so they can communicate to eachother. His ideas are important for making a society because he is teaching the animlas important information that will help them grow and to communicate with eachother. Squealer convices the other animals to accept what Napolean decides by telling the animals if they dont do what they are told, Mr. Jones will come back, which none of the animals want. This process resembles government because they pursade you to see there side of the situation and tell the wring of the other side. The time when someone has convinced me to follow them would probably be during election time. I chose to follow John Mccain because I agreed with his ideas the decisions he had made. Even though he did not become president, I dont fell it was a bad decision because it didnt harm me in anyway and it taught me how to make decisions for myself, and not based on what other people felt.
Napolean felt that youth should be educated. I agree with this because its the youth that shape the future. They are the ones that will soon rule. There needs to be innovative and smart youth so there can be a smarter, better society. Squealer changed the story to make it sound a little better. This process reminds me a lot of our government. People arent given the facts, they hear the what the media says. I had friends that convinced me to do things that i shouldnt of, but they made it sound like it was all ok and that i wouldnt get in trouble. They said it wasnt a bad thing, and that my parents wouldnt care. This was a bad decision on my part. I should stick with what i believe in, and not let others influence my opinions.

Napoleon wanted the children to be educated. He knew that if they educated the children when the older animals died they would be intelligent enough to run the farm. This is important cause you always build from your youth. THis relates a lot to any type of sports team. You don't go out and spend a bunch of money on a veteran who has a lot of experience but not enough left in the tank to continue and play. You go and get a young player who is smart and has potential to be good. Squealer is such a convincing speaker and was able to persuade people to listen to Napoleon. This is much like presidential elections, Obama is a great speaker and convinced everyone to vote for him. Well recently everyone has been trying to get me to get my ears pierced. I think it would be cool but my guy friends says i look gay so I'm not sure if i will get them done or not.

Napolean's ideas about education are that the youth are the priority in education. The youth are the ones who are going to be around for a longer period, so if you teach them, then they will be able to help teach the youth of their age and keep their society running properly. Squealer was able to convince the other animals to accept whatever Napolean decides by telling them that Snowball was only in it for his own good and that if they didn't listen to Napolean, then Mr. Jones would surely come back and take over them again. I think that in our govenment, leaders who are running for a position tend to find as many ways as possible to put down their oponent. One time I followed my friend and her grandma into a haunted house beecause my friend really wanted me to come with her. I knew I hated haunted houses and I didn't do well in them, but I followed them anyways. It turnd out to not be such a good decision, because I got hurt after falling on the ground and having to be guided out a side exit.

Napoleon's ideas about education are the young. He believed that the young should be educated not the old. Squealer is able to convince the other animals because he tells them that Napoleon took on a tough job and it is hard for him to do it. This resembles government because there is always a leader in government. Napoleon is the president and Squealer is the vice president. A time when I followed somebody was when we went to shoot paintballs at cars. It sounded like a good idea but it turned out to be bad becasue we almost got in trouble from it.

Napolean thinks that the children should be the ones learning to read and write not the adults. He thinks that since the children will be around longer that they should learn at a young age. His ideas are ideal to creating a society because if they want the society to continue for many generations, you need to teach the kids so they can carry on the ideas. Squealer was able to convince the other animals to accept whatever Napoleaon decides because if they didn't then Mr. Jones would probabley come back. And none of the animals wanted that so they went along with Napolean. I think that this goes along with the governement because the candidates make commercials and other advertisements to put down their opponents. A time when I went along with someone was in 3rd grade. I was friends with these people who wernt really my friends and then this new girl came into our class. And I decided to follow her and become friends with her, and we are still best friends even today. So, as you can tell it was a very good decision on my part.

Napolean believes that the youth should get a good education. This is important because if the youth didn't get educated, then the future of the farm would be in the toilet. This is similar to the government because the government has educated people doing their jobs so that some retards dont screw everything up. Also so they understand their job and are able to do it well. My friends convince me to follow them all the time and sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. They dont do anything really tricky to get me to follow or pressure me they just ask. some are good decisions and others are probably not the best.
Cody Kabisa
Napoleon's idea of education is to educate the young. This is very important in creating a good society. Lessons that were taught and learned have to be past down to later generations to become more efficient. Squealer uses fear to make the other animals follow them. he threatens that if they didn't listen to Napoleon then Mr. Jones would come back. This resembles that the government will do anything to make you follow it. even if it means scaring you. This reminds me of McCarthyism. that Joseph McCarthy convinced everyone to follow him out of fear. McCarthy told everyone that he had a list of government officials who were in fact communist spies. This made all of the people very nervous but believed in McCarthy. which turned the 1950's into practically a witch hunt. It was a bad idea for all of those people to follow him, but out of fear people do many stupid things.
sorry for the tardiness, i was in the middle of writing my blog, and then my power went out. i was pretty pissed, caused i had most of it done, then bam, no copy, no backup, no blog by 6:00 pm. sorry.
Napoleon wants at last the pigs to be able to have the education, so they can continue to be "the pigs" of animal farm. cause as we see, they are turning into humans, and they are evolving like civilization had done, only at an exponentially greater rate. and squealer is able to then convince others by relying on the belief that they don't know any better. i believe that’s why only the pigs are to have an education. hmmm, do i see world history, all in one book? im thinking so. and, as i mentioned to you, they are turning themselves into a dictatorship\ totalitarian state. all of this is happening so fast, and sooner or later, the pigs will be rebelled upon, and/or humans will come back, and take control.
there have ben many times, where i have had class projects, and a lot of the time, for not apparent reason, i can never really have people over to do that, and the other person doesn’t want to get to involved. so, almost all of the time, i tell the person that they need to able to trust me that i can get my share of the project done. but most of the time, i need to have trust in other people. that’s why i don't like doing projects, unles they are with people i know i can count on, or i know are at least coherent enough to understand the rules. most of the time, i get let down by others, but, it makes me stronger, cause i know i did my part of the project. but when that E goes on there for a half ass assignment, then there is some 'eplannen to do.
napolean from the book, his where abouts about education was that he the children should be put in front of the elders bc theyll be around longer and it will stay fresh in their memory. his goals, were just to have the young be tought while theyre young. but that made him a powerful leader. sqealer tryed to tell people that he was taking advantage of them. in the government, like in the presidental race, people try to seem like their what everyone likes, but they lie and hide secrets so we only see one side, like the preess is to bias. when i went on vacation to mexico with like nick fieke and all the seniors they always tell me id be cool if i chilled around them. and everyone seemed to have fun, but in the end wed end up gettin into trouble, so it ended up badd.

sorry this is late my power keeps comin on then goin out again
Napoleon is a control freak. He trained the dogs to obey his word, he chased off the only animal that would stand up to him, and later kills off everyone who steps out of line. Squealer is a very persuasive, if he "can turn Black into white" he can get others to follow him. Obviously, he fears Napoleon otherwise he would've persuade everyone to overthrow him. The only person who has ever made sense in politics is Glen Beck. For every thing he says, it sounds well researched, very emotional and free of republican/democrat bullshit. Overall, I think "following" him might be a good idea. He knows history well, he can stir up a crowd and is very popular.

Napoleon’s ideas on education are like Communism. You teach the youth to your ways and what you believe. Napoleon’s ideas were important to creating a society because you need to have the basics and a stable society. Then you can go on to bigger things that will better the society. Squealer is able to convince others to accept whatever Napoleon decides because he is smart, good with his words and can convince them. In boy scouts our leader persuaded all of us to go on a night hike and pull a prank on the camp owner. I think this was a good decision because nothing happened to any of us and because our troop knows the owner well.
My power was out.
Napolean doesn't believe in having the older animals educated but he believes that the younger ones should be educated. These are important to creating a society because every society has an educational program or a way they teach people how to do things. Squealer is able to convince the other animals because he convinces them that snowball is only their to be in power. He says that he is a criminal that doesn't care about them. This process resembles that of a government because people campaign against each other to win power. The main way they do this is by down grading the other person running against them. I was convinced to follow Jon McCain because everything that I heard about Obama was bad. I never heard anything negative about McCain. This drew me to McCain because i liked how he wasn't that bad of a person. I think this was a good decision because Obama is an idiot and is going to ruin our country. He has already started talking to terrible dictators and he will probably want to adopt their government.
(Sorry this is late but I did not have power until this morning)
Napoleon's ideas planned to educate the young animals over the rest. They wanted to do so because its the future of there farm. He figures if there is a smart group there will be a better society. Squealer manages to make everyone go for Napoleons decision by force. When Snowball tried introducing a plan, and everyone liked it, Squealer ran Snowball off the farm with vicious dogs. The reveals a dictator government because no one has a fair weight to anything besides Napoleon.
In my life, or in most people's that live in the U.S. have to follow government. I realy have no choice in it, unless I want to move to a different country. I follow what they say and we all do what they command us to do. I'm not sure if it was a good decision or what it did for me yet. This is because I'm still young and I wont know until I get a bit older.
Napoleon thinks that the children should be taught not the older animals. The ideas could be important by building on the society by improving its knowledge. Squealer uses his ability to convince people that he right and changes the stories. It resembles the government somewhat because if you compare school from the 70's to modern day the education of the students would be drasticly different. I cant really think of a time where someone has convinced me to follow someone. I think its because I would rather make my own decisions than follow and have someone else do it for me. I have made bad decisions on my own so no ones perfect.
My internet was out because of the storm on Saturday.

Napoleon only has a few ideas about education. The main thing that he wants to do is make sure that the children are the ones that get educated. His ideas are important because if you have a more educated society it might help their lives. Squealer starts to "lie" about many of the things that happen around the farm to get people to listen to him. The government usually twists the facts. They only say what you want to hear and then do nothing once they get elected. Not all of government has this problem but it is kind of out of control. Gandhi got people to follow him because he was a wise and peaceful man that looked out for the best interests of everyone. I think it was a good decision because he got more people to do the right thing in the end.

Sorry didn't get power till this morning, then found out that our modem and router got fried. Went and got a new one and finally got it working right.
Napoleon believes the education for people should be created in younger ages. Younger a person is, easier they get influenced and get their minds fixed as they hear, which means if Napoleon can set the animals' mind for him, it'll be easier to control them later on since they won't resist against him. Squealer, who is a servant of Napoleon, has scaring speech skills, threatening people with the possibility of Mr.John's come-back. Therefore, the other animals, who are scared of Mr.John's come-back, easily accept the idea "Do this, or Mr.John comes back." This tactics which Squealer uses is often found among governors, and politicians, who try to humiliate the images of their opponents by giving people the fear that if the other side of political party wins, the situation will be way worse. As a famous example, former Senator Joseph McCarthy, who created the fear storm of McCarthyism, exploited people's fear of Communism to falsely accuse the opponents of subversion. In my case, when I was younger, my dad used to make me go for his errands, such as buying some snacks, or drink, in the exchange of not scaring me to death at night telling me ghost stories, which I freaked out every single time even I got to hear them over and over again. Since his story telling was more realistic than the real ghost, if there is any, would've been, I don't regret my decision in order to not cry every single night.
His ideas are that the younger ones should have an education. He gains the animals trust which is the foundation of his dominance. Squealer is able to convince the other animals by telling the animals the pigs are the brains of the society. He threatens the animals that Jones will come bakc and uses big words they dont understand. Its almost like a dictatorship, except Napoleon had people that work with him and its a certain gruop thats dominant. My mother influenced my religion. Ever since I was really young, she taught me to go to church and worship God. Yes, it was a good decision.

Napoleons idea about education is that most of their education should come from their youth. That most of the learning should be there when they are young.His ideas are important in creating a society because to be able to run a functional society members should already be educated. You can not take the time out to educate people when they are older. The learning and ideas should already be installed in them before they reach adulthood. This represents the ideals of government. Squealer is able to install these ideas in people head because the animals do not know any better. They listen to the pigs because they assume they know the best. This represents government because some people do not take the time to question the government, because people just assume they know what they are talking about. There has not really been a time when someone else has convinced me to do something. I always just do it, if i want to.
