Animal Farm Power Corrupts Good

It was a bright, windy day. If you were to describe it in one word, you’d probably describe it as perfect. Well, it was perfect for you, but not everyone. You see, I was locked in my room, and I hadn’t eaten yet. I tried to open the door and sneak out, but the door had been locked from the outside. My parents wouldn’t let me out. It had been hours, I couldn’t take it anymore. My parents were gone the entire day and when they finally came home, they crashed on the couch.
