Animal Farm- Chapters 3 & 4

After the animals came up with their seven commandments that acted as their laws, they each were assigned a job on the farm in order to keep it running. The pigs took command of the farm as the leaders, and decided  to educate the other animals by teaching them to read & write, as well as divide the food into rations for all the animals. This is interesting to me because the farm mimics a country that has decided to be self-sufficient, and there always is somebody that emerges to lead the people. From there the leaders decide who has to do what in order to keep the country running. 

The pigs took it upon themselves to create their own headquarters, and shortly after they did this they decided that they were the only animals who could consume the milk & apples of the farm. This again reminds me of a country because almost always the leaders of the country think that they deserve special treatment. When people start to ask questions about why they deserve special treatment when they had agreed that all people were equal, the leader always has a way of persuading them they need certain accommodations, which the people just accept. For the moment things run smoothly, but it's not long before the leaders demand more unnecessary luxuries. I'm wondering how long it'll be before the animals on the farm revolt...
