Political power

Writing Prompt: In your opinion, does political power corrupt the people who attain it? Also, how do you think George Orwell would answer this question?

first i would like to say that political power is a very important thing ans should be treated as such. i would also like to say that somehow when it comes down to power it all ways finds a way to get miss used. i really am not sure why that is. there is all ways something wrong when it comes to political power.

after starting reading the book Animal farm i came up upon this quote. which said "man is the only real enemy we have. i was shocked to hear that. i think partly because how i was looking at the story which was in a realistic view. some one told me not to look at the book that way because thats not how the book was written.  so what i think this might be trying to say is anyone with power may have or does have problems.

now the animals say that they will not become like the humans and not follow the humans way. fir some reason i have a hard time believing that. i feel like every new person or animal in this case just says that type of stuff to kind of motivate the people into thinking these people or animals will change how this policy works. and they can only make it better. so thats why i do not agree this will work out and the animal thing will have trouble.

it will be very interesting to see how this works out and i think the author does a good job with keeping the reader guessing and making predictions. i really am enjoying the book so far and i am glad we are reading this for class because there is no other way i would have read this book. but i am glad i am reading it.
