Animal Farm#6

please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.
"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself." Chapter 1, pg. 7 This quote has been making me think about our lives and animals. Thinking about it, it seems like we used the animals off and the animals do not get anything from us unless they are our pet or just a farm animal be cared. I think we humans help the animals the same way animals help us too. This is meaningful because it show how lazy some people could be, but we could see if we order someone to do the stuff we want them to do then they are humble and they are not lazy at all. Also it shows that humans can also abuse animals. We always think so high of ourselves and never think about the lower. This does not have to relate with the animals, but this relates with our humanity. This could sound weird, but I bet if I was one of the animals in there and get no credit for anything I do or help I would also attack Mr. Jones. Thinking about it, this all makes scenes to just be thankful for what other peoples are doing. Also to just help each others when they just need help. Our life is not supposed to be made like this, but it is made like this because of how we act.
