Will World War III erupt in my life time?
In my opinion, the answer is no. From the past two wars in the history, you can easily understand that most countries know how devastating it is for a war to erupt. Although nationalism is still common around the world, the common people know enough that the results of a war is disastrous and unworthy. Different from the past, the people today import and export resources, instead of using imperialistic acts to achieve their natural resources.
Unlike the allies from the history, the allies that are formed today are more global and stable. Ranging from Americans Africans, countries from all across the world help each other by any means, or at least most. Also, unlike the unstable countries f rom the past, the countries today are formed and most likely will not have any changes. Within the country itself, perhaps, but not according to land.
In conclusion, I believe that World War III will not erupt in my life time.

Animal who Represents me in Animal Farm
Benjamin, the one animal who knew what was going on, who is wise, and who is smart enough to know not to step in the problem, is more related to me than any other character in the book. Benjamin has the habit of keeping quiet when a problem is brought up. Just like Benjamin, I tend to understand the whole picture of the issue, but I keep quiet about my ideas because I know the result wouldn't be effected no matter what I did. As well as that, just like Benjamin, I am the smallest child in my family, therefore, I do not have much power in order to effect the decisions being made. By keeping quiet, it would appear as if I didn't care much, just like how Benjamin is viewed. Just like Benjamin, I usually don't get in trouble because I don't say anything, almost never, and it usually keeps me out of trouble. Hence, there are many similarities between me and Benjamin, which helps me conclude that Benjamin is the closest character to me from the book Animal Farm.
