Hello, I just got finished reading Animal Farm. Its a pretty good book. Well, I am doing a class project on it as well. Here is my view on the question does knowledge equal power? Well, yes and no. Yes because it takes knowledge and knowhow on how to do certain things. for example when Snowball begins the idea of a windmill, a lay out plan was needed to begin it, so she needed to figure out equations and how big it would need to be and supplies, that was her way of being powerful and taking over as leader for the farm. And no, because Napoleon wasn't very smart and he became a terrible leader changing the commandments and killing makin gthe farm very unseuccesful. That is my viewpoint. :thumbs_up hope that helps you!

hi my name is gaby, from venezuela
"power corrupts, and absolut power corrupts absolutely". you might want to put that in your essay i don`t exactly remember who said it, just look it up. so when you reffer to knowledge=power i say that it might not be knowledge as it is but wit and intelligence when it comes to managing or embellishing the truth. also take in mind that the pigs were taking advantage over the disabilities of the other animals on whether they could read or not and their thinking and analyzing abilities. also sqeualer was the one who usually "mended" all the harm that was done by speaking in a charming and interesting way. napoleon is said to be Stalin...But, at the end, having information and dominating it is power. think about the world today, whomever has info has power, thats why napoleon had the other pigs working behind him and investigating things.
i hope i was of some use!! write back if you want
bye
