Quickwrite

 Orwellian writing often displays dystopian societies or governments than fall into on themselves. He displays mechanics of governance and the natural progression of the ever-revolving way we govern ourselves.
In the recent history of Egypt, their government has been toppled by the sheer will or protesters. Although this has progressed to angry revolt and violence, it still is a shining example of how democracy prevails.
Many parallels have been seen between the events in Egypt and the events of one of Orwell's books, “Animal Farm”. A story about the rise and fall of government, the plot alone is similar to Egypt's history. Symbols such as goonies or grunts carrying out the oppressive government agenda is seen in egypt and Animal Farm. Napoleon's dogs would represent Sulieman and his agents trying to stem the fervor than has seeped into Egypt.
