George Orwell's Animal Farm shows his opinion of how a communistic government can become corrupt, while Ayn Rand's Anthem shows the extremes of collectivism. Both of these deal with how because of how the happiness of individual freedom is taken in the name of helping the group. This fundamental problem can be seen as the main issue of the characters in this group. In Animal farm there are major problems with the system of the farm causing the animals to feel disadvantaged. The story covers how the farm transitions and the important part is that everything ends up being worse than before. The pigs abuse the system. This is contrasted to Anthem where the system change is successful but is so drastic that again the system doesn't help the members.

Recently I sat down with my pastor to discuss my future in ministry. I had some very heavy things weighing on my heart. After laying them out, I stated that “I often feel like I don’t have the needed self-confidence to do this ministry thing” and that “I think that I’m going to need a very supportive pastor in order to survive my first pastorate.” It was there that he stopped me cold and made if very clear that I could not and should not enter into ministry with that mindset.
