For our classwork, our teacher has asked us what type of government is mentioned in Nancy Farmer's book the House of the Scorpion when they were discussing the 5-legged Horse.
I believe the government mentioned here is democracy. When Raul was talking about the horse, he said that you must get rid of the 5th leg in order for all the legs to work together. then he mentions that they've "all got pull together" in order to make it (Farmer, 274). In a democracy, the people rule their own government. everybody has to work together in order to for their government to work. This is similair to the legs of the horse. Obviously, Nancy Farmer is writing about democracy in her novel.
