ANGELICA'S BOOKS: ANIMAL FARM BY GEORGE ORWELL. SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

 

Animal Farm

Animal Farm is an allegoric and satirical short novel written by George Orwell (pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair) and published in 1945.

The story tells about a rebellion in Manor Farm by the animals who live there. The owner of the farm, Mr Jones, mistreats his animals. At this point, Old Major, the eldest pig, tired about this situation, says that he has dreamt a life without human beings where animals lived in peace and where they were happier. Therefore, he incites other animals to rebel against Mr Jones’ tyranny.

PAGANI HUAYRA R

 

Released less than a week ago, the new Pagani Huayra R is already talking about itself. It is the most extreme Pagani ever made but it can only go on the track. It is fitted with a new naturally aspirated Pagani V-12 engine, it has 850 horsepower and 750 nm of torque. This new engine goes up to 9000 rpm to provide maximum performance. All this in just 1050 kg. Only 30 were produced, for 30 lucky ones who will be able to enjoy it only on the track, for the modest sum of 2.6 million euros.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

 

Islamic women

In Islamic countries a woman’s life seems to be less worthy than that of a man. For example, in a court of law, a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s. Furthermore, if a woman were to be murdered the compensation for the family would be half that for the murder of a man. In Islam, women are permitted only one spouse; however, men may have up to 4 wives. In addition, the legal age for girls to marry is just nine years old, but boys are allowed only after the age of fourteen. As a result, pedophiles are able to exploit and subsequently leave young girls.

WORLD WATER CRISIS

 

 

Water is the main source of life and without it we cannot survive. Nowadays water seems to us an inexhaustible good and we are used to wasting a lot of it, but in 2040 most of the world won’t have enough water to meet demand year-round.

THE FIVE SUNS OF AZTEC MYTHOLOGY

                                                                                         

Every mythology has its own “creation myths”, myths centered on how the world came to existence. In some cases a deity creates it on purpose, other times it was born by chance. Sometimes its inhabitants end up causing some kind of apocalypse that reshapes it. Other times the world has never changed since the beginning of time. Aztec mythology takes all the weirdest possible combinations and uses them to create one of the strangest yet most interesting creation myths.

AN ATOMIC TRIAL
