Power is the ability to overrule someone or something and to have complete control over it. Animal farm is a short novel written by George Orwell and suggest that power is good if it is in the right hands, but if not power can be very dangerous. The Power of One by John Avildsen is a film which shows the extreme racism between 'white' and 'black' people and shows the rights and authority the white people had over the black people.

Power is shown in various ways through Animal Farm. The pigs are one of the best examples of power being misused. They are constantly breaking the commandments and are defiantly not using their power for good. Even though the other animals do not agree with what is happening Squealer manipulates them by saying things such as, "you wouldn't want Jones to come back would you?' This is a great example of power being used in the wrong hands. Throughout the novel George Orwell signifies Lord Acton's famous pronouncement ''Power tends to corrupt and absoloute power corrupts absouloutly'' through his literature and characterization of the animals. With humans history of power, corruption and communism, George Orwell utilizes animals to symboliza how power corrupts absoloutly through his themes, characters and plots.

Many people are reluctant t o stand up for authority because of the power they control within their hands. Power can be purely defined as ''the possession of control or command over others''.

The story ends with a warning to all human kind ''The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which''.
