Chapter 11
Once the animals found out about Napoleon’s betrayal to the animal race, the animals ran to the safest place they knew; the barn house. The animals knew that the world they had established under Napoleons rule was about to all come crumbling down all around them. In the time that the animals were able to fully collect themselves from the terrible news they had just discovered, an old friend of theirs found his way back to the farm. Once the old friend of the farm (whose name is still a burden to the animals) had returned to his old and almost forgotten home, he found it in ruin and chaos under his rivals rule. Snowball almost couldn’t believe that his beautiful and prosperous farm and home had been turned into a horrid and

The animals that were in the barn let out a shocked and scared cry, which then caused Snowball to let out a cry of his own. The animals that could remember the farms beginning stages had a hard time of remembering anything for they had grown old and forgetful. Snowball had to come up with something fast because he did not know how long it would be before an animal yelled “intruder!” He started by saying what his name was and what he was doing at their farm. He not dare say his true name, for some might know it from lies spread by Napoleon and Squeaker. He stated his name was Hamilton and that he wasn’t there as an intruder, he was there to find shelter and safety. Hamilton (Snowball) was at the farm in front of the animals that he had to make believe he was an ally. Hamilton (Snowball) had convinced the animals that he was there to help. The animals were sure that this pig could be their saving grace. Once the animals of the farm and Snowball were both comfortable with the circumstances, Hamilton had to find a loyal group of people to fight alongside him for the battle for the farm. He set out to find the strongest and most loyal friends that he could possibly muster for his
Upon reaching the origin of the noise they were greeted by a sight that caused their little animals hearts to swell with joy. There before them stood, on all four legs rather than two, Snowball followed by an army of animals from numerous farms across the country. One particular animal, a young piglet, was holding the original Animal Farm flag in his mouth. The squeal had come from Squealer who, being so fat, had a hard time moving had tried to warn the other pigs of the intruders, but it was no use considering the other pigs were enjoying themselves with the
However, the animals have reached the point where they need someone to dictate what they should do next. Both Snowball and Napoleon have different ideas on what the animals should do to better their lives. They start an election to see which of the pigs will become the leader of Animal Farm. All of the animals picked one of the candidates, except Benjamin, who is the oldest and wisest animal on the farm. Benjamin did not believe that either of the actions proposed by the pigs would make life on the farm any easier.
Chapter 1 and 2 1. At this point of the novel, I feel a little curious as to where the story is going to go. I must say, I am a little confused on how the animals are planning on going though with their plans. 2. I can think of ways I have felt like these animals do in the story.
The animals came to him in an instant, and that shows how much influence a powerful person can have. Snowball was so confident in himself, that he did not make one
SNOWBALL! He suddenly roared in a voice of thunder" (47). It was clear that Napoleon wanted to hide the fact that he himself was guilty; however the pigs and him were able to persuade the animals. Next, the pigs convince the animals that their terrible crop season is because of Snowball. “The wheat crop was full of weeds, and Squealer had somehow discovered that on one of his nocturnal visits Snowball has mixed weed seeds with the seed corn."
Furthermore, Napoleon gives the other animals the impression he was the sole leader of the rebellion on Animal farm and makes Snowball -a leader who wanted what was best for the animals- seem like an enemy who was in cahoots with Farmer Jones since long before the animals took over the farm. Napoleon and Squealer (another “fat cat” pig.) always put the blame on Snowball whenever something went wrong in the farm to avoid having the blame fall on them. Napoleon is an exemplary example of just how selfish and hypocritical people can be in furthering their own aims because he continued to subtly but purposely change the seven rules put in place as the pillars of animalism. For example, Napoleon and the other pigs move into Farmer Jones’s house and sleep in his bed after commanding “No animal shall sleep in a bed”, so he changes the commandment to read “no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets”.
After the windmill is destroyed, Napoleon blames Snowball by saying that he is the traitor who is trying "to set back our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion” (82). Napoleon’s strong desire to keep power drives him to blame Snowball for the destruction of the windmill to make him look good, so he would not be blamed for all the destructions and injuries that occur within the Farm. This impels the animals to assume that Snowball is the victim and consequently the animals would rely on Napoleon to keep Snowball away for their protection. Squealer swindles the animals saying that the windmill was actually Napoleon’s invention and that his opposition towards it is just a fabrication in order “to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence” (71). Napoleon’s only strategy is to make the animals under the impression that Snowball is the source of all destructions in order to keep his power.
The animals start recognizing Napoleon for any good achievement done that day. For example, one of the hens recognizes Napoleon for just one stroke of good fortune. “Under the leadership of our Leader Comrade Napoleon, I have laid five eggs in six days…”(78). These poor animals are tricked into thinking that everything good that happens is due to “Comrade Napoleon's Leadership”. Every quote we see is a deeper level of corruption in Napoleon, and now, his influence on the farm is tearing what the revolution was all about.
During a night, Snowball disappeared and Napoleon pretend that he was a spy of Mr.
The animals are tired of Mr. Jones and how he treats them so they overrule him. Napoleon abuses the animals trust and uses his power for evil. Napoleon ends up changing everything in the farm. Many years pass and Mr. Jones also passes away. Boxer and Snowball become forgotten.
The pigs, who are more intelligent, tricked the animals into thinking they have a choice when in reality they do not. Even more, as the story progressed, the animals lost their voice in debates. Every Sunday, the animals held Meetings in the farmhouse to discuss the work and plans for the week.

Jaewon Shim Ms. Manning English 9B 06 February 2015 Animal Farm Analytical Essay "Orwellian" is an adjective that describes the condition of the society that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. The adjective suggests an attitude that is controlled by propaganda, the denial of truth, and manipulation of the past. In George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, George Orwell develops his ideas about the Russian Revolution through a highly satirical story written in the form of a fable. The characters represent actual people in history during the Russian Revolution, which took place in the years between 1917 to 1944, as it talks about a story of a farm rebelling against a human owner and establishes their own way of running the farm, which was effected by Old Major’s speech who talked about a society where all workers led the society, with no actual leader. However, imbalance of power occur as the pigs, who are the smartest of the animals gain influence by supervising other animals to work.
