How does animal farm apply to our everyday lives?

The book Animal Farm that we are reading in english class applies to our everyday life in a lot of ways. One example is in the book it talks about how the animals act like everything is alright but actually they are making plans to over throw the farmer. That applies to our lives because teens today do the same thing they say everything is okay but actually its not and they cant wait to be free from their family. Another example is that the farmer in the book heard noise coming from the barn and instead of going out and seeing what was going on he just shot at them and that seems to happen today kids want to be heard and the parents shoot at them figuratively speaking. So far the book is good and i want to see what happens next.
