Current Egypt in Condition Similar to Animal Farm.

Currently, Egypt has now been free from Mubarak for about five days now. The military declares that it is only "temporarily" holding office until the next election. The plan is to establish a democratic government that is controlled by the people. --- Egypt Daily News

Even though Mubarak has gone away, it is only the beginning of the new Egypt. There is a long way before the government becomes perfect. Currently, Egypt could go both ways. It can become what it was like before, a dictatorship or it can become democratic, where all citizens rule the government. There was also the rebellion of Honduras but the nation became Communist. The current setting is similar to the beginning what had happened to the government system in Animal Farm, a novel written by George Orwell. In his book, he tells a story where the animals over throw Mr. Jones or the tyrant. They are successful and establish a government system where animals are treated equally. Unfortunately, that doesn't last. The ways that the current setting in Egypt and/ or other countries is similar to Animal Farm is that it began with social gathering, ending in failure, and organization for future protests/ outbreaks.

One connection is that social gathering was involved in the rebellions for both Animal Farm, Egypt, and Tunisia. In Animal Farm, the animals gathered in a meeting in the barn and discussed how the future would be like after the rebellion. They also discussed about how the rebellion would work out. In Egypt and Tunisia, people went on Twitter and Facebook to organize protests against their Tyrant.

Another connection is that the government becomes corrupt in Animal Farm and in the Honduran government. In Animal Farm, it was a democracy when Snowball was still there but it had become a dictatorship after Napoleon took over when Napoleon drove Snowball out of the farm with the use of dogs in an election. In Honduras, a few political leaders decided to make the nation communist and succeed after the revolution.

As the last one, other countries were preparing for uprising like Animal Farm. In Animal Farm, the farmers began to prepare themselves after they learned that the animals had rebelled Mr. Jones out of the farm. Currently, nearby countries such as Iran are preparing to defend themselves from protests.
