What The Election Meant To Me
The election meant a lot to me because every one I know wanted Barack Obama to win.My parents also voted for him.When I found out that Obama won, I was so happy because now the whole country can have a better change.When the campaigns first started,I didn't really care about who won because I didn't know a lot about Barack Obama and I would be happy either way because someone different would be the president.As I found out more about him,I wanted him to win.I was so glad that he won because I watched the whole election on election day and the whole time I was hoping he would win.If John Mccain would have won it would have been like any other election, but since Barack Obama won it can be more historic and I can tell people about it when I'm older and tell them I was there when he won and I could hear people screaming and honking the horns on their cars and everyone was so excited about it.

Final Draft Animal Farm Essay
In Animal Farm, the way characters respond to stories has a strong connection to their ability to survive.The animals on the farm are affected in different ways by the end of the story because all the animals either believed Squealer's lies or think about them more. Squealer always twists stories around.First, he lies about the law that the animals made against beds.The real law was that no animal was allowed to sleep in a bed.Squealer lies and on page 80 he says''a bed is merely a place to sleep in surely you don't suppose there was ever a ruling against beds!''.Next, squealer lies about why the pigs took the apples and milk.The milk and apples were supposed to be for everyone.Squealer says that the pigs took the milk because they need it for brain work but they actually stole the milk and apples.Then squealer lies about all animals being equal.All the animals on the farm are supposed to be equal.Squealer changes all the commandments and makes just one and it says''All animals are equal but some are more equal than others''.In conclusion, the way Squealer lies makes him stronger.
Snowball is honest about the stories he tells to the other animals.First, after Old Major dies, snowball takes over and everything is going good.All the animals were equal and Snowball didn't try to make himself seem better than anybody else.Snowball cared about everybody else's opinion so they all could live easier.Second Snowball wanted to do the windmill so it could provide electricity and the animals wouldn't have to work as much.He made a plan out so everyone could have something to do.Boxer started saying ''I will work harder.'' and would sometimes work by himself.Snowball never made the animals overwork.The animals always worked harder when Snowball was in charge.All the animals got enough food so no one was too hungry.
Boxer believes all the stories that Squealer and Napoleon told.First They know Boxer will believe everything because they know he's not smart.When the commandments changed, Boxer didn't really notice because he can't remember the commandments being any different.Napoleon makes the animals work harder and and Boxer starts to say ''Napoleon is always right!''.Second, Napoleon takes advantage of Boxer because he is a really strong horse.They made him work for a longer time than he was supposed to.When he got injured, he was sent to a slaughter house,but Squealer lied and said he died in a hospital while he was being taken care of.Lastly, Boxer is not equal to Squealer and Napoleon.Squealer and Napoleon get to drink alcohol and walk on their hind legs.Then they took down all the commandments and put up on that said ''All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.''In conclusion, because the story mastered Boxer, he couldn't speak for himself.
