2nd blog- Question 6

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 real enemy we have. Remove man from the scene and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever…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.”

This passage was very significant for me because it seemed to reveal God’s power when he was creating all the living creatures. He gave each animal special gift such as giving milk, laying eggs, strength, and running fast. And he gave humans ability to control all these animals and make everyone peaceful. However, the animals decided to have revolt against humans because they couldn’t understand what gifts humans got. Another reason why this passage was meaningful to me was because it seemed to show how people these days abuse animals. Human’s job is to take care of animals but many people now days abuse them and even do experiments on them. Just because humans are “the lord of all the animals,” we shouldn’t think of animals as slaves or toys.
