Snowball frantically turned, looking for Mollie. Again, she was late to her shift and was slacking off on the farm. “Mollie!” He cried as he turned the around the outskirts of Animal Farm. The farm was finally all their own, now that the animals had chased off the pesky owner. Snowball had looked in every direction around the farm yet Mollie was nowhere to be seen. Sighing, Snowball started back for the house. When he got there, he was greeted by an unusual sight - one of the dogs that Napoleon had been mentoring, as well as a pig whom Snowball didn’t know well, but knew he had been shipped up from the United States a few months ago. Still confused, Snowball walked up to the pair. “Hey, Snowball.” The raspy voice of the pig rattled like a maraca. The pig had horrifying scars on his face. He looked wartorn, with his hairs rough and like needles. ”Spots ‘ere was telling’ me ‘bout how Napoleon has beens’ plotting’’ against ya.” …show more content…
“What do you mean?” Snowball demanded, trotting up to the pig, so close that the pig could feel Snowball's heavy breaths.
“W-Well, you see, S-Spots here, he be’s my friend and he’s been telling me ‘bout this plan Napoleon had… ‘Polean said he’d be darned if he didn’t chase ya off the farm at ‘tomorrow's meeting’.” The pig stammers. Snowball, frozen in disbelief. His jaw was still yet agape. “Are you sure about this?” He asked. The pig nodded, as did Spots. “I-I gotta go.” Snowball said before hastily turning on his heel and running away. Almost tripping on a rock, he stumbled his way to where Boxer was working hard in the forest, bringing in lumber from the other farms. The tall trees towered above all the animals, and the humans from the other farms had been chopping the tops down to trade with the animals of Animal
Farm. “C’MON!” Boxer yelped, as he lugged in lumber from the forest to build the windmill. Far behind him, there were other animals struggling with their pieces of wood, trying to keep up. “FOR ANIMAL FARM!!” Boxer encouraged his comrades, still persevering ahead of the rest of the pack. “Wait, Boxer!” Snowball barely yelled loud enough, just barely catching Boxer’s attention. “What do you want?” Boxer asks in a humble and strong way. Snowball always admired Boxer’s free spirit. He was strong, young and always kept himself on task, always following the leader. “I’d like to talk to you,” Snowball said. “Somewhere more private, if you’d follow me?” Hitting the hard, cold ground with his hooves, Boxer nodded and galloped his way behind Snowball, who led him back to the main house, which was the most wealthiest and best built on the farm. Snowball pushed the door close with his snout. Before continuing, he looked out the window. Boxer hesitantly walked over. Snowball shook his head, “The puppies informed me that Napoleon is planning to overthrow me and start a dictatorship.” Boxer steps back and thinks for a moment. “What’re you thinking about?” Boxer asked Snowball, seeing the concerned look on his face. “Boxer,” Snowball firmly states. “I would like you to organize a movement to stop this scheme.” Snowball readjusts his stance. “Since you have so much trust from these animals, and you can lead them.” Boxer looked around the room. “I will see what I can do,” he said after a brief moment of pause. And with that Boxer stammers as he clops towards the door, closing it behind him. Boxer gallops around looking for potential animals to recruit for the defense of Snowball. Figuring the other horses are some of the strongest animals on the farm, Boxer headed to where he had last left them to work. Boxer managed to successfully recruit Clover, one other horse, five pigs, three sheep, and two donkeys, including managing to get his best friend Benjamin. While Boxer recruits members for the secret group, Napoleon holds a meeting between him and the animals of Animal Farm in their usual spot - on top of a hill, where all the animals would sit and Napoleon would stand on a podium made of dirt and address the animals. “Alright,” Napoleon says in a gruff, bold voice, as he looks over his notes. “We are all here to discuss the building of the windmill.” Everyone goes silent. “The Windmill!?” One pig squeals. Everybody shushes him. Anxiously awaiting Boxer’s arrival, Snowball kicks up grass with his trotters under him. “Yes, the Windmill.” Napoleon says with aggravation, staring down the pig. “We are going to decide if this project is worth it to the farm.” Finally, Boxer comes up on the hill. Behind him are the animals that were recruited, running to keep up. “WE’RE HERE!” Boxer huffs, “Sorry, sir, we were just carrying lumber.” The animals in the crowd begin to talk. Hushed whispers go around about “lumber” and “windmills” until Napoleon angrily stamps his foot, breaking up the conversation. “Boxer, sit down.” Napoleon demanded angrily. “Now, as I was saying,” Napoleon continued, clearly bitter with the interruptions. “Today we are going to take a vote about whether or not to build the windmill. Now, if Snowball will say a few words…” Shuddering, Snowball stood and walked toward the podium. Napoleon walked off at the same time, passing each other. Napoleon gave Snowball a cold shoulder, and sat down in the front of the audience. Scanning the crowd, Snowball saw no signs of the dogs. He saw the pig who had warned him, sitting next to Boxer, who stood proud and tall with his unknown army. “Thank you,” Snowball tried to stop his voice from trembling, but wasn’t sure if he could. “I am in favor of the windmill, and I believe-” Suddenly, Snowball felt paws on his back, and went tumbling off the stage. Landing badly on his ankle, he tried to limp away, but saw his attackers as they jumped in front of him. A ton of dogs, all scratching and clawing Snowball, circled him. “CHARGE!” Roared Boxer. The dogs screeched and whined as they were jumped on by Boxer’s army. Boxer himself flung into the battle with Clover at his side. Boxer ran through three dogs, sending them flying in all directions. Blood flew out of their mouths as they smashed into the ground. Behind him, Clover swung herself into a dog’s face, sending the animal into another dog, knocking them both out. Meanwhile, two sheep were taking on one dog. The battle had hardly started, yet was already over. Napoleon sighs in disgust as he watches his army fail shamelessly. He looks to Squealer, who is shaken with fear, standing beside him. “C-Commander, I did not expect this b-behavior and strength from this unexpected rebellion.” He trembles. “Oh shush with that rubbish,” Napoleon scolded. “We’ll just call our strongest pigs and horses and take care of this mess.” Napoleon sends in his strongest comrades, but nothing works. Boxer’s strength and his army were superior compared to his incompetent fighters. Napoleon watches in shame. He’s starting to get nervous as Squealer is about to lose his sanity . Napoleon starts to think that he has to escape this war as he might be harmed during this how animals are starting to get rowdy and violent. “Squealer,” Napoleon utters as he nervously paces around. “Y-yes?” Squealer immediately replies, biting his hooves. “Plan for a secret escape, as we do not hold up to this power.” Astonished, squeal steps back, “Are you sure about this?” Squealer whispered. Napoleon nods his head in disgrace. Squealer organizes a way to get Napoleon to escape Animal Farm without harm. Unfortunately he fails to do this and the other animals catch him trying to escape. “HEY!” Boxer yells. “NAPOLEON IS HERE!” Outraged, the animals turn their attention to Napoleon. Napoleon squeals and runs as fast as he can, the aniamls watched in surpirse as he disapeared into the forest. Napoleon's army looks at him, confused. Why the leader they thought who was perfect, strong and determined, was actually a scared, cowardly, and pitiful animal. Boxer rejoices and booms, “NAPOLEON HAS FALLEN!” Boxer’s animals went merrymaking and meanwhile Snowball has decided to take control of Animal Farm. But instead of the farm being corrupt and unfair, he would rule over animal farm differently. He will rule fairly, giving the animals a vote as well in what decisions they make, rather than one ruler who would give prejudice rules. Animal Farm would become a community where all animals would have an opportunity, no matter what animal they were.
Animal Farm is made up of different animals that are lead by Mr. Jones, who ends up being drunk all the time when going to bed and forgets to close up some of the cages. While Mr. Jones was going to sleep in the bed, the animals on the farm was having their own meeting led by, Major, the pig. In the meeting, they talked about who are their enemies and who are their friends, and who are the comrades. While having all ears on Major, he started to say how “Man” was the cause of their problem because with Man, all animals would be free without having to be slaves for anyone. With this being said, Major and all the other animals were singing a song with excitement when it quickly ended by Mr. Jones, who proceeded to
Thesis statement: Joseph Stalin was accurately embodied throughout this story through the pig Napoleon, Orwell’s representation of Stalin, who showed his attributes clearly.
If there had been one more chapter in Animal Farm, I think it would go as follows: Weeks pass by and the animals still could not get over the fact of what they had witnessed looking through the window. They felt betrayed and exhausted and had lost hope for Animal Farm. There was now no food on Animal Farm. Animals had starved for two days and Clover starts to feel sick as she get older. The animals walked to Clover and one asked, “What are we suppose to do now?” almost as if Clover was their leader. “You’re our only hope”, one of the hens said tearing up. Clover felt empathic for everyone. “That’s it! I am now taking this in my hands,” said Clover fiercely, “Napoleon has gone too far. We work every day trying to find food. This is worse than when Jones was here! We got to put a stop to this immediately. We got to bring Snowball back.” All the animals had agreed upon what Clover had said. Secretly the ...
There is a substantial amount of conflicts that occur in this satirical story. Often these conflicts are between the pigs and the rest of the animals. Only a minute portion of the animals didn’t really have some sort of conflict with Snowball, Napoleon, Squealer, or the rest of the dominating pigs. Overall, Snowball was a better leader than Napoleon, yet the animals reacted differently to Napoleon than to Snowball.
Animal Farm is a story of the struggle for freedom and power. It takes place on a farm in England called Manor Farm. There are many different kinds of animals on the farm; these animals include horses, geese, dogs, cats, sheep, and pigs, which are the most intelligent of all the animals. The story starts out when old Major, an old, wise pig, calls a meeting in the barn. He tells the animals about a dream he has. The dream was about how the animals should rebel against the leader of the farm, Mr. Jones. He tells them that in the dream he remembered a song called Beasts of England. The song is about how the animals should rebel against the humans. He teaches the animals the song and tells them that he is going to die soon. A few weeks later old Major dies. The animals hold secret meetings about the rebellion a couple times a week. None of the animals really expected the rebellion to happen any time soon, but it happened before anyone expected. Mr. Jones started to neglect the animals, and one day the animals decided that they had enough. A cow broke into the building where the food was kept, and all of the animals decided to get some food. Mr. Jones and some of his helpers came out with whips as started lashing the animals, but were caught by surprise when the animals started to fight back. The men fled in panic, and before anyone realized it, the rebellion had begun.
Throughout the story, the first signal that illustrates the corruption in pigs started right after the animals chased away Mr. Jones. When the animals milked the cows and discussed about what to do with all the milk, Napoleon cried “Never mind the milk, comrades…placing himself in front of the buckets” (p18) and then all buckets of milk disappeared. This is foreshadowing that later Napoleon may become the kind of leader who keeps everything good for himself and does not care about others, and this actually happened later. Several days later, someone found out that all the milk was mixed in pigs’ mash everyday as well as the apples and pointed that pigs broke the rule of “All animals are equal” (p17). This time the pigs cannot stay calm anymore. Squealer firstly said that they pigs actually do not like milk and apples and the reason why they added those into their mash was because they were ‘brainworkers’ and those were good for their brain and only when they were healthy enough the other’s safety can be guaranteed. After that, Squealer used repetition...
By first using propaganda to persuade the animals that Snowball was an enemy, Napoleon’s rise to power began. Snowball was Napoleon’s only real threat to assuming leadership. In the story, the two pigs always disagreed with each other. The other animals were divided equally in supporting either Snowball or Napoleon. By spreading the rumor that Snowball was a traitor, Napoleon was able to drive Snowball from the farm and become the leader of Animal Farm with no one to oppose him. Napoleon, with the help of Squealer, turned all the animals against Snowball. Squealer, who was a masterful manipulator, played an important part in convincing the animals that Snowball was an enemy. Naming Snowball as a “traitor”, Squealer played on the animals’ fear of humans and told them that Snowball had been a spy for the humans. The animals believed Squealer and thought that Snowball was only trouble on the farm. They later suspected that S...
Mr. Jones was unable to defeat the animals, therefore the animals got a boost of confidence. Now at this point Mollie runs away and Snowball begins his plans for a windmill. When Snowball’s plans are finished, Napoleon’s dog’s start to chase him off the farm. The farm just lost the best leader they could have had. They loose their chance to give input on what direction the farm should go, and Napoleon begings blaming Snowball for all the things that he did not do. Now Napoleon sets the animals to work on Sundays again and acquires Mr. Whymper as the farm’s broker. Napoleon starts to sell some of the farm’s produce. And the pigs start sleeping one hour later, and in beds. Then the windmill gets blown over and Snowball gets the blame. At this point the pigs still continue to abuse the power and stealing from the other animals.
The animals in awe of the difficulty of telling from which was man or pig, they went back to the barn, gathered in the barn and were all about to go into their own stalls until the slightly blind Clover said, “Friends please wait.” The animals stopped and looked at Clover that was giving a saddened expression that made most of the animals walk over except for the hens and roosters walked to the chicken coop with their baby chicks following except for two chicks that walked over to Clover. Clover looked at all the animals gather and gave a serious stern look, “there was once a time when this barn brought joy to me and all of the others on this barn. It wasn’t when the humans were in charge or when Napoleon became our leader. Snowball on the other hand was the leader that actually didn’t become a dictator of this farm and wanted greatness for all and not just for the pigs and
...their greedy eyes they saw no reason to save the other farm animals. The book gives as little evidence of any pig showing protest to Napoleon’s actions except of course Snowball and the other three executed pigs.
The relationship surrounding Snowball and Napoleon in George Orwell's Animal Farm tends to be on rocky grounds. Snowball, a clever pig, tends to be loyal, brave, and outgoing. These are just a few excellent qualities of a leader. Napoleon, a boar, on the other hand, is quite frankly rude, wretched, and full of greed. Both have had their share of leadership on the farm, yet both have had their share of conflict as well.
pigs begin to take control. By the end of the novel, the pigs have manipulated the rest of the animals into doing everything they want. The pigs then become almost exactly like the humans. The most important pigs are Napoleon and Snowball, that is until Napoleon
One night, all the animals at Mr. Jones’ Manor Farm assemble in a barn to hear old Major, a pig, describe a dream he had about a world where all animals live free from the tyranny of their human masters. Old Major dies soon after the meeting, but the animals — inspired by his philosophy of Animalism — plot a rebellion against Jones. Two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, prove themselves important figures and planners of this dangerous enterprise. When Jones forgets to feed the animals, the revolution occurs, and Jones and his men are chased off the farm. Manor Farm is renamed Animal Farm, and the Seven Commandments of Animalism are painted on the barn wall.
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy – The pigs engage in business and trade with the humans. Napoleon socializes and plays cards with the humans.
