Hiya. I need help on my essay. Although the symbolism in Animal Farm is based on the Russian Revolution, I was given an essay comparing Animal Farm and the government of Sudan. Not very well kept up in the world of politics (i only know vague information concerning Darfur and genocide and such), I need some help concerning the essay.
The Question: Do Governments always live up to their own rules?
I need help on supporting arguments and evidence from the country's government or human rights issue. Here's what I have so far:
