Mercy Corps states that “The youngest are confused and scared by their experiences, lacking the sense of safety and home they need. The older children are forced to grow up too fast, finding work and taking care of their family in desperate circumstances.” The second reason why their almost identical is that in the novel that George Orwell wrote, the animals on Animal Farm were treated differently which is a commandment that’s not being upheld, therefore the animals start to rebel. Even though one of the commandments is that all animals are treated equal, the animals were treated by their social status, which isn’t fair.
