The similarities and differences between Vampire council and Government power:

                In the book Eighth Grade Bites by Heather Brewer Vladimir Tod is a half vampir,half human with dead parents and an aunt for  guardian. The  Elysian vampire council still believes that his parents are still alive, so the council target Vlad because his dad betrayed them. They want to take Vlad's father's punishment on Vlad. Sounds different from our gov't.

                 Elysia has a lot of  power. They decides who gets what punishment when they do something wrong. For example Vlad's father got into a relationship with a human, so he was sentenced to death. They also make all the rule. Like the on that says that vampires can't get involved with humans. They're like the the gov't but with no branches.
 
                 In our world today we have three branches of gov't executive, legislative and judicial. They have the power. People get a voice in gov't. We get a right to vote and speak oil. As you can see the vampire council doesn't do that, so vampires and human powers are very different.

                  In conclusion the vampire conucil and gov't are similar because they both own power. The difference between them are, that vampires don't give people a voice and our gov't does. I'd stick with the gov't any day.
