Catler's Drought

Two years later Napoleon conquered Pilkington and Fredrick’s farm. The humans on the farms were treated like the animals and starving to death. The animals that were working on the farm have left because they no longer wanted to live under Napoleon’s rule, or died from starvation and cruelty. Napoleon is mad because the animals are gone, the humans are dying and no work is getting done on the farm. Since no one was working and Napoleon was starving he ordered the dogs to kill Squealer for food. Napoleon had turned to cannibalism.

Napoleon used force to gain control of Animal Farm, and used fear to keep it. When he and Snowball both led the other animals, they had many disagreements. Napoleon saw that Snowball was better at communicating with the animals, so he used the dogs which he had secretly trained to drive Snowball away – permanently. Napoleon used these dogs to keep all the animals ‘in line’ and quash any thought of rebellion with fear.

Jones. The animals conformed by working like slaves for Mr. Jones who doesn’t even provide enough food for their strength. After Old Major motivated the animals to revolt, they wished for change and fair treatments, and the only way for that to happen is to get rid of the humans and rule the farm themselves. Old Major had admitted “The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth” (page 7). What Old Major said had triggered the animals and made them consider the idea of a rebellion. The consequences of their conformity was bad treatment, labor, poverty and injustice. After they overthrew all the humans who ruled the farm, which cause more consequences for their nonconformity, the animals felt free and rich. Although, after they have revolted and kicked the humans out, they proved that conformity was no longer apart of their farm, and showed the upsides of

The animals go from a society in which they believe to be unacceptable to a life which becomes even worse than it began. The worst part, however, is that the oppression stems from an animal himself. Napoleon, the totalitarian leader, changes the founding ideas in which their ideal society was formed in order to increase his control, but continuously tells the animals that things are significantly better than before. Eventually, “the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the country.” The animals allow this to happen because they placed their trust in leadership and were wrongly educated on the circumstances. They are fed lies until they no longer remember their history, which allows the oppression to come full circle.

The animals took the farm full circle. At first, the change was a lot more successful than before, but eventually it became just as bad. In the real world, people sometimes use power to fill the void of insecurity and the need to be the center of attention. Some people who have power shouldn’t and no one does anything about it. Today, it isn’t always the

Napoleon demanded that all animals confess their crimes. As a result, they are all brutally murdered by his vicious dogs. This parallels with Stalin’s Great Purge (Britannica 1). Boxer speaks up and states, “I do not understand it. I would not have believed that such things could happen on our farm.

The animals, with a smaller work ethic than Boxer’s, need Boxer’s nobility to help them work hard for Animal Farm and acquire an equal amount of enthusiasm as Boxer’s already optimistic outlook on work. For the farm to run successfully, Napoleon and the pigs require the animals’ utmost allegiance to the farm’s cause and to the leaders’ changes of the farm. Boxer takes this allegiance and makes it appealing and almost inspirational for the animals. When the animals are first starting to take control of the farm, Boxer’s optimism and simplification of the leaders’ ideas to the ignorant animals help the animals understand and become more familiar with their new government. Boxer, a true comrade of promoting the farm’s humble beginnings, “absorb[s] all information” then “pass[es] it on to the other animals by simple arguments” (14).

The battle consisted of many men from all the nearby farms, all ready to take a stand but they lost sadly. The first animal I spoke with was Boxer, our strongest horse here on the farm. Boxer was left traumatized and panicked after he killed one of the men from Foxwood. “I didn’t mean to do it to him, I forgot I had on my iron shoes. I guess I helped a bit since

After the animal uprising on the farm, a rule system is put in place, and all animals prosper under the equality of their newfound society. Three pigs, Squealer, Snowball, and Napoleon all establish themselves as important figures of power on the farm. “EVIDENCE.” They are powerful right from the start, for they were the ones who proposed the uprising in the first place. Each and every animal has their own job and place under “Animalism”, which were the general rules of the farm animals new lives. “EVIDENCE.” No animals are corrupted or suppressed by other animals, and life for them is going just swimmingly. Every animal is living its ideal life, all equal parts of the society that they helped make.

One of the wisest animal on the farm, who is now deceased, Old Major, left a list of commandments which were supposed to be followed by all comrades, two of those were; “all animals are equal” (Orwell 15) and “never tyrannize your own kind”(Orwell 15). Shortly after Major passed, there was an argument on who were to take leadership of the farm. Napoleon, whom is one of the pigs, chased his opponent Snowball away and took matters into his hands. As time passed, the rest of the animals gained trust in him, and even made a song about him. Some animals knew how to read but not all, so Napoleon kept changing commandments into his own words, he changed one of them from “all animals are equal” to “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” (Orwell 85), by that he meant, the pigs are superior than the rest.

Snowball,the leader who made you feel safe and involved. Before Napoleon took over,all of the animals had no shadow of a doubt that their lives were much better. For example,when Napoleon said the windmill was his idea, the animals weren’t so sure he was telling the truth. Then, Squealer popped up, “ Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions.” When Snowball was still there,he did not need the threats Napoleon uses again and again. The other animals on Animal Farm naturally agreed with Snowball and appreciated him. He educated himself with books around the farm and lead the Battle of Cowshed. This resulted in him being

Suddenly a flip switches, Old Major, a pig, preaches, “ Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever” (Orwell, 7). This triggered the animals and they started an uprising that drove Mr. Jones, his wife, and his workers. This allowed the animals to finally have the freedom they deserved. The days of starvation and drudgery were finally over. The army of animals has taken over Mr. Jones farm.

Napoleon also force the animals to work by incorporating propaganda. If the animals would not follow his rules, they would either be mauled by his nine dogs or there would be a different consequence. Towards the denouement, the story came full circle. The same conflict that the animals faced in the beginning of the novel did not go away. They still were at the loss of their freedom and only at the end of the story did they realize their small portion of freedom was stolen.

But Krieger, did not want to fight fairly. He started attacking any men going to support the army occupying Carnufex. This made the occupying army feel as if they had no support from King Anthony. Then Krieger lead his men into Carnufex. They went through a secret entrance, through one of the mountains protecting Carnufex. They created a hidden base, in the forest to the east of Carnufex. They planned their attack carefully, and waited for a month. They attacked on the winter solstice, or the longest night of the year. They attacked, quietly going to each tent, and killing the soldiers in their sleep. Many of the men had qualms about killing defenseless men, until they heard how these “men” treated the people. They were murders, and

“But now it was not just a normal situation. The gods had initiated the wrath of cat -- possibly cats, plurrl -- and so the burning clouds came crashing down, making us scream and run furr cover, and --”
