Don't Be a Follower

An important lesson in Animal Farm is to be in the world, but not of the world. The pigs become the leaders of the farm, but that does not mean that the rest of the animals should follow how they act. Some of the animals(the sheep and Boxer) agree with what the pigs are doing and they go along with the pigs ideas. The animals agree with the pigs on what they do and follow their ideas and actions like sheep. Other animals like Benjamin are unchanged. He does not change who he is to conform to what the pigs are doing. The pigs kill the animals as punishment, and the other animals should not think that is right just because that is what the pigs are doing. The important lesson in Animal Farm is do not change who you are to be a follower of someone else.

" Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."-Mathew 12:2
