“Get them comrades, but leave Napoleon for me!” barked Snowball. The animals chased Mr. Pilkington and the other pigs out of the

Napoleon, whom always disagrees with the temporary leader of Animal Farm, Snowball, has already started the plan to start the constructing of the windmill. As for Napoleon, who doesn’t support the building of the windmill only because he believes the increase of food production is much more important. From the text that contributes his disagreement of the windmill, ‘’...then suddenly he lifted his leg, urinated over the plans, and walked out without uttering a word.’’ (50) From this quote, it shows the type of personality that Napoleon has, the personality of a dictator because without a dictator 's approval, nothing senses to them that catches their attention and only sees it at as a waste of time that can be used for something else.

Demonstrating that the animals would not have had the motivation or strength to do their work and overdo themselves from Napoleon’s harsh regimes of building the windmill with limited food and long work hours. With his death, Animal Farm’s spirit declined rapidly and caused “uproarious singing, which was followed by what sounded like a violent quarrel and ended at about eleven o’clock with a tremendous crash of glass.” (pg. 84). The writer has done this to demonstrate that Boxer is single-handedly the only animal capable of making all the animals’ arduous labour possible. Boxer’s dedication and determination in his work ethic made his death a catastrophe, causing distress within Animal Farm as these were the driving forces behind the motivation of all the

The last reason for a potential government flaw is Napoleon's authority. not everyone agrees with people who have authority but in this case, almost all of the animals agree with Napoleon. but since Napoleon didn't agree with a snowball on the windmill he decided he was going to build it now. ¨Throughout the spring and summer they worked a sixty-hour week, and in August Napoleon announced that there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half.

When the animals looked outside they no longer recognized their surroundings and leaders. The had realized that they have been blind and could no longer tell the difference between man and pig. They had become indifferent. This was said by the narrator yet really explains the thoughts going through all the animals on the farm’s heads except the pigs.

Why does Napoleon blame Snowball for the windmill being destroyed? Napoleon blames the destruction of the windmill on snowball as a manipulation tactic to create a false enemy to have issues focused on (illuminati is to US Government). Gives them smth to be mad abt. 6. Why does Napoleon order that the hens’ eggs be sold?

Snowball was run out of the farm and made seem a horrible and untrustworthy leader to make Napoleon seem better and more “on top”. At times, Napoleon even gave himself more superior titles like “our Leader, Comrade Napoleon, Father of all Animals, Terror of Mankind, Protector of the Sheep-fold, Ducklings’ Friend, and the like…. It had become usual to give Napoleon the credit for every successful achievement and every stroke of good fortune.”. Napoleon made every good thing that happened his fault but any mistake, or bad thing that happened, was at the fault of Snowball, although he was run off of the

5. The main point of disagreement was the windmill between the two of them. Snowball was focused on the long term living conditions and Napoleon was too short sighted to see the benefits of working hard in the beginning and reaping all the rewards of having the windmill Part D Directions: Continue using your notebook. Answer each of the following questions.

The commandments were meant to ensure that all the animals were equal and were all true to their own nature. I created the windmill in my model making it look rugged and rustic, this was to show that the animals made the windmill and the imperfect parts are evident to it. The great windmill symbolizes the pig’s manipulation of the other animals for their own gain. In the battle the humans destroy the animal’s windmill, this was because they didn’t want the animals to succeed in rebuilding the farm. The reason for this was the humans would lose their worth and power if the animals proved they were better than the humans at taking care of the farm.

It is this very windmill that our Boxer has sacrificed his life for, a sacrifice he made for the sake of our Animal Farm. Yet where were the pigs? Where was Napoleon as we were facing the harsh conditions of cold blooded war? The pigs were feasting on the apples that we earned. The pigs were quenching their thirst on the gallons of milk that you cows produced while you were burning outside in the heat of a summer’s day.

Both pigs fought at the Cowshed batlle and supported the idea of Animalism or animals in power. Napoleon and Snowball have few similarities and many differences.

Many of the animals tried to take advantage of this situation by siding with the animals with more power. By showing the

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.
