Educating the Young

Napoleon took Jessie and Bluebell's puppies away with the statement that "the education of the young was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up." Explain why it is important to absolute rulers to "educate" the young.

Because in this way Napoleon could put revolutionary thougths in the young animals, in this way the kids will be in favour the revolution instead of againts..

In my opinion, Napoleon whants to put revolucionary thoughs into the puppies mind, so they grow up with that ideals in their mind, taking it for granted.In that way they wont think of other politic regimen, never

As Napoleon wants to rule for ever, he inculcate the ideals of animalism in the youngs so they never forget them ans trasmit them to everyone

Great! So you all agree that maybe Napoleon wants to stay in power for a long time, so by educating the young under his principles, who do you think the 'grown up puppies' are going to follow? Do you think that Napoleon was bright in doing that? Why (not)?

educating the young gives you the advantage of giving and teaching what you think is right. so in the future you this young animals will think like you and will obey you too. i think that this is the purpose of Napoleon.
good bye

Hey, I can see you guys are making good comments here too. Nice job!

I believe the word you were needing for what Napoleon wants to do with the puppies is "brainwashing", right?
