Animal Farm Chapter Summary

A cow, a sheep, a chicken, Muriel, Boxer, and Napoleon are on the bottom left corner. They represent Animal Farms’ society and ideals. The animal’s expressions are clueless, excluding Napoleon, who has a heroically outraged expression. Napoleon is shown as being very concerned, but he is actually behind the rest of the animals. This reflects his behavior in Animal Farm. However, Napoleon is placed above the other farm animals. This is how Napoleon wishes to be seen. This shows Napoleon as a caring leader of the animals. Snowball is shown as a large threat, standing on two feet and being unequal to the other animals because of his height. His trotters are reaching out, as if to steal from the animals. Squealer would use these lies and images as fear propaganda to convince the animals of Snowball being a

He took part in writing the original 7 commandments and the animals are easily convinced that he is a traitor and has been in league with Jones. When reading Animal Farm one can really begin to appreciate Snowballs leadership and his understanding for what's best for the farm and its residence. George Orwell has Snowball run off to show that even

Shortly after the Revolution, Snowball comes up with the plan to construct a windmill to make the lives of the inhabitants of Animal Farm easier. Napoleon hides in the shadows per se until the puppies that he has taken and trained are old enough to act as a police force. Once they are old enough, Napoleon has the dogs drive Snowball off the farm. He then takes credit for the idea of the windmill and proceeds to claim that he, not Snowball, won the award at the Battle of Cowshed. Napoleon then informs the animals that Snowball was an enemy and was a threat to Animal Farm. The animals are swayed by his propaganda and are fearful of his police dogs; this is what keeps him in power.

Food is probably the most important element of the Mexican culture. Much of the daily routine and tradition in Mexico is preparing and eating food. Mexican food is rich in color and flavor. The richness of their foods is important to the Hispanic culture. Traditional food was combined with the Spanish influence such as ingredients of rice, beans, corn, meat, peppers, and onions.

The seed of discrimination blooms from a society where humans quickly and easily change their beliefs to fit into a larger society. Children, however, for a short period of time in their innocence, do not share this sentiment - arguably, no one is born knowing how to hate based on skin color. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee shows her readers how racial discrimination and stereotypes can lead to devastating and heart-wrenching tragedies, with a story set in the small Alabama town of Maycomb, and told from the perspective of an innocent, but naive, the child named Scout. In the novel, Lee uses Bob Ewell, an uneducated, racist, sexist and violent white man, as well as the town of Maycomb as a whole to represent the rampant racism and close-minded attitude that many white populations held at the time of the 1930s; as well as her own opinion on the matter.

After defeating the humans, the began blaming all the misfortunes on the scapegoat, Snowball. The animals complain about not getting enough food and having to work too much. Old Major says, “All men are enemies. all animals are comrades” (Orwell11).

Napoleon has wanted power over the farm for awhile and will do anything to keep it. He takes Jessie and Bluebells newborn puppies and trains them for the main aspect of his fear campaign. He teaches them to do what is right for the farm and to only think about the Animal Farm’s future. He uses the puppies to eliminate his nemesis. Snowball comes up with the idea for a windmill on the farm, Napoleon opposes it and uses his trained dogs to chase Snowball off the farm. With Snowball gone, Napoleon declares himself the ruler of the farm. “They dashed straight for Snowball… he slipped through the fence and was seen no more. (Orwell, pg. 53 chap. 5).”

The plot of Animal Farm is made of many events. There is the initial rebellion of the animals against Farmer Jones. This rebellion begins the rest of the story and struggles that come along. The animals are left having to figure out how to run the farm themselves while also keeping law and order. The pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, step up as leaders and create the Seven Commandments which start out as: “1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. 2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. 3. No animal shall wear clothes. 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed. 5. No animal shall drink alcohol. 6. No animal shall kill any other animal. 7. All animals are equal” (Orwell 24). Snowball’s approach to freedom was an idea of complete equality; all the animals worked for their share of the food. Napoleon

Snowball’s knowledge on war led us to a victorious ending in the Battle of Cowshed. When asked on his opinion on the battle he stated, “I am proud of those who stood together during the battle, all all of us worked well in defeating those two-legged, hell raising humans. Now for those who became cowards during this time of battle, you should be dishonored. I am not proud of you at all. We should never show fear, cowardliness, sentimentality or anything of that matter. I am not proud of the cowards.” Snowball definitely gave us a very good insight on what is expected of us animals here on Animal Farm. That was a few of the accounts made by animals involved in the Battle of Cowshed here on Animal Farm. We here at the Animal Farm Tribune wish the best for those who are dealing with the trauma and grief of those lost in the

Snowball’s strengths: Snowball’s strengths include his intelligence and his want for social improvement for the animals of Animal Farm. Snowball’s intelligence has had a very positive effect on Animal Farm. For example, It was Snowball who had the original idea of building a windmill so everyone could work less and live more comfortably and luxuriously on the farm. He also understood that the sheep could not read the Seven Commandments so he shortened them into the phrase “Four legs good, two legs bad” so they could comprehend the commandments much more easily. During the Battle of the Cowshed Snowball used his intelligence and strategic plans made by Julius Caesar to defend Animal Farm. Snowballs intelligence could help Animal Farm find a solution to any problem that the farm may face. Along with his intelligent nature, Snowball also has a desire for the social improvement of all animals. Snowball created animal committees in an attempt to improve the manner and quality of the animals lives. He created the Egg Production Committee, the Clean Tails League, the Wild Comrades Re-education committee, The Whiter Wool movement and implemented literacy classes. Although most of these committees had not seen very much success, Snowball had still managed to teach most of the animals the basics of reading and writing. This care for social improvement could benefits Animal Farm future.

Later, Mr. Jones comes back and tries to reclaim the farm, only to be defeated again in the Battle of the Cowshed. With a renewed confidence, Snowball and Napoleon begin to argue more and more. It is clear now that they are both struggling to be the dominant pig on the farm. Snowball creates the idea of building a windmill that will harness electricity, but Napoleon disagrees. They hold a meeting to let everyone hear their sides and make a final decision. After Snowball gives a strong speech, Napoleon swiftly gives his argument and calls the dogs he took earlier. The dogs he was supposed to educate were really being trained as attack dogs. They chased Snowball off the farm, and left Napoleon in charge.

He falls short in his plans when he comes up to his rival, Napoleon. Napoleon’s brute force kicks him out of the farm and uses his absence to portrait him as a spy, traitor and then makes the rest of the farm turn their backs on the non-present pig. Snowball fools others with his social graces, charming attitude and liveliness. Because of that others on the farm see him as a nitwit, which is the foundation of their alliance with Napoleon. Even though Orwell portrays Snowball as a refreshing and enthusiastic light, he does not fully put

Napoleon ends up kicking Snowball out of the farm since he wanted to be the only one in charge and makes the animals believe that Snowball did not care about them and wanted the worst for them all. The animals believe this because they did not know what was good from bad. As stated, “Sixth Commandment decreed "No animal shall kill any other animal." And though no one cared to mention it in the hearing of the pigs or the dogs, it was felt that the killings which had taken place did not square with this…….Muriel read the Commandment for her. It ran: "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.

Animal Farm begins with Old Major telling his fellow animals about his dream in which he envisions a farm with no humans. The speech instills a drive within the animal community to rise and overthrow Mr. Jones, the farm owner. After the farmer is successfully removed and Old Major dies, the animals find themselves in a leaderless state. Three pigs, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, take it upon

Without law and order, it is nearly proven that civilization will fail. Because of this, Snowball saw it necessary to create a set of rules for the animals on the newly evolving farm, so came about the 7 Commandments. Unfortunately, but undoubtedly in the pigs’ advantage, most of the other animals did not know how to read or write. Because of this the other members of the farm had to bestow their trust and goodwill in the more educated of the animals. Little did they know that their innocence and their devotion to the farm as a whole would in the end lead to their demise. “The birds did not understand Snowball’s long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to
