Answer:
The reason the author is showing some animals on the farm are more intelligent than others is to show that an equal society is not possible. They have 7 commandments but later some where changed later on and the very last one was changed from “All animals are equal” later on changed to “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others” Later the pigs where the ones that took over all the animals without them noticing. In history all these animals represent a dictator. The thing is most of these animals wanted power, once they got the power they use it for bad (dictatorship). Napoleon takes snowballs idea and calls it his own and gains power.

Explanation: The national obsession with instantaneous communication is taking a toll on teens so severe that some experts are calling it a crisis.
It's not the phenomenon of cell-phoning or messaging while driving -- both are illegal in
New Jersey
-- but all-night texting that is leaving too many teens too tired for school.
One 14-year-old New Jerseyan featured in a recent Star-Ledger story receives up to 10,000 -- 10,000! -- text messages a month. To accomplish that astounding yet not unusual feat, she interrupts her showers and stays up all night long, thumbs pumping, to read and respond to an avalanche of messages. Doctors are beginning to recognize such obsession as addiction that is robbing children of sleep at the very time in their life when they need it the most.
A well-publicized study recently found that early high school start times deprive adolescents of sleep and force students to perform academically in the early morning, a time of day when they are at their worst. Many teens are making a tough situation worse by shortchanging themselves of the time they do have to sleep. The inevitable results are poor performance, a sort of sleepwalking through classes and the day in a fog that some physicians liken to drunkenness.
According to a recent Nielsen study, 13- to 17-year-olds send or receive an average of 1,742 text messages a month -- more than seven times the average number of calls they place on their cell phones. That represents huge chunks of time dedicated to the flimsiest of patter. Here, truly, the medium is the message, and teens are loath to part with a gadget which to them seems as natural as breathing.
It's a situation made all the more challenging by the fact that these kids are among the first to have this amazing, and tempting, technology right at their fingertips; it's not likely they will set limits for themselves. They depend on their parents for rules and guidelines in all other areas of life, so it's naive to believe they will cut down on texting without some intervention.
great many adults also are addicted to devices of the new technology. In fact, there's a "Distracted Driving Summit" taking place in Washington, D.C., in which federal officials are urging the public not to text and drive in those states that haven't outlawed it. And a rehab center for the technologically dependent just opened in
state. For $14,000, clients are helped to wean themselves from obsessive use of video games, etc..
