ANIMAL FARM BY GEORGE ORWELL

(Today I read the next 21 pages of Animal Farm.)

 Snow ball was a very responsible leader. He opened  committees to educate the animals, but many were unable to memorize the alphabet. On the other hand Napoleon was taking no interest in Snowball's contribution. He said education of the young was the most important, and so as soon as the dogs, Jessi and Bluebell gave birth to nine healthy pups, Napoleon took them away and took the responsibility of their education and care on himself. Soon the rest of the farm forgot the existence of the pups. Later that day, Napoleon announce that all the apples and milk should be kept aside for the pigs as they needed to preserve their health in order to support the farm.

 

Mr Frederick and Mr Pilkington were two quarrelsome farmers. They hated each other. They wanted to protect their farm from the news of the Animal Farm as their were chances their animals would one day rebel against them.In many areas animals started destroying fences and turned savage and wild. Ideas about the Animal Farm and Beasts of England a song which Major used to sing was soon circulated and promoted across the countryside by the flight of pigeons which Snow ball and Napoleon had sent.

 

Early in October when the corn was and sacked Jones and his men with a dozen others had arrived with sticks and arms to recapture the farm. Of course it was expected and all preparations had been made. First the pigeons attacked. They moved to and fro and dropped their dungs on the men. Then the geese pecked viciously on the calves of their legs. Then Muriel, Benjamin, Snowball and all the sheep butted the people from all sides. Then at a squeal from Snowball all the animals rushed into the yard. Then the three horses, pigs and three cows charged at them.. Jones fired, killing one sheep and wounded Snowball, but then in an instant flung his fifteen stone against Jones's legs. Jones was hurled into a pile of dung. At this sight the men were frightened and dropped their sticks. The men were chased and every animal took vengeance in his own fashion. In January the bitter and hard weather made it impossible to work in the fields. After surveying the ground he told the animals a Windmill was needed which would supply the farm with electrical power. Within a week the plans and designs were fully worked out but Napoleon was totally against the plan. He said the animals should concentrate on the coming harvest and extra labour would tire the animals and starve them to death. 

 

Snowball said electricity could operate threshing machines, rollers, cold water and there would be just three days of working in a week. Now it was obvious that the votes would go to Snowball. Then suddenly nine ferocious dogs emerged from behind the bushes and chased Snowball with its vicious teeth.The dogs were the pups which Napoleon had taken care of and they listened only to him. Snowball was chased out of the farm and never was seen again. Then Napoleon declared that eventually the Windmill had to be made and in fact it was his idea and was stolen from his documents. Animals were confused that why would Napoleon then be against the Windmill at first? Squealer convinced them that that was just an excuse for removing Snowball because he was actually working for Jones and his acts in the battle were all worked out way before. "surely you don't want Jones back do you?" he said. The animals realized that if Snowball was not removed, Jones would come back and so every animal was convinced and silent.
