The author recommends, “Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”(Orwell 141) In this quote, the animals slowly start to look at the similarity between the pigs and the humans and how they both are the same now, both cruel in their plan for the animals they both never actually care for they are just used for exploitation from the beginning unlit now. Only sometimes things changed to make it look like the old time of suffering by their old humans changed just now by their new owners into now a modern version where the pigs control them. This quote is noteworthy because it conveys how the pigs got more corrupt as the years progresses until they were no longer recognizable from humans. It was at this point that the animals finally could see thou the lies of the pigs. After all, they believe in Napoleon who ends up misleading them through the use of propaganda in his bitting. when Old Major was their leader, he sought the best for the animals, wishing for the best possible future for all the animals.

As the pigs distinguish themselves from the other animals and break the commandments, oppression and starvation seem to stare the working-class animals in their
Firstly, they confessed to doing things they did not even do. They made up fake confessions like, they were in league with Napoleon 's arch nemesis, Snowball. “The three hens who had been the ring leaders in the attempted rebellion over the eggs now came forward and stated that Snowball had appeared to them in a dream and incited them to disobey Napoleon 's orders.” The animals are so intelligent that they said what Napoleon wanted to hear, not what was true. Consequently, these animals were killed by the dogs by Napoleon 's orders.

In the author's words " Four legs good, two legs bad"(pg.116). Basically, the reference quote is saying that the animals shouldn't hurt one another and should treat each other equally. This quote is significant because in the story when Napoleon became the leader he made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that forced all of the other animals to work insanely hard every day and night.

The pigs lie to the other animals about the food shortage too, along with the outside world. They tell the other animals that food production is up 400% from when Jones ran the farm and this makes all the animals content and none of them question it. The pigs use lying and hypocrisy to make the animals do what they want. If the other animals on the farm knew that the pigs were lying to them about the food supply they would probably rebel and question Napoleon’s leadership. He lies to the animals so that they don’t rebel and so they are content with working under Napoleon’s
The pigs became selfish and violent, changing the animal 's view until it was almost completely different from the original. A very similar thing happened with communism, during Joseph Stalin 's rule he left a majority of the country helpless and to fend for themselves.

Josh Albert Mrs. Plumeri English 10 March 9, 2023 Animal Farm is a book by George Orwell, it is an allegory using animals to explain the Russian revolution.

This is exactly what the humans did and the pigs, in effect, take over from the humans and rule in just the same oppressive manner. In this way, they destroy the original ideals of the revolution which called for complete equality for all animals and the rejection of all human contact. By the end of the novel, the pigs are in an open alliance with the humans and behave just like them, even by walking on two legs. A revolution aimed at improving the lives of the animals, with the best possible intentions, has degenerated into a nightmare. Similar to the creation and destruction of the Soviet Union, Napoleon in Animal Farm is directly connected to Joseph Stalin, while Snowball represents Leon Trotsky, and Old Major is Vladimir Lenin.
For example And so the tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones (Orwell #93).

This is a second example of how having the same representatives will lead to a path of chaos and destruction to everyone else but they have a safe paradise. The last example is that they made the animals do all the hard labor and suffer while they enjoyed life in the safety of the house.
