ANIMAL FARM BY GEORGE ORWELL

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

 Mr Jones of the Manor farm used to drink a lot and one night forgot to shut the pop holes. As soon as the animals found him snoring, all animals silently tiptoed and assembled to listen to old Major, who was their respected leader and regarded as the most wise animal. He was getting close to his death. He was a boar and wanted to share something with animals of the Manor Farm. He gave a speech explaining how Man has made the lives of the farm animals labourious and miserable. He gives the bare minimum food, enough to keep them from starving and makes them work till their last atom of strength.No animal is free in England. Major correctly pointed out specific facts. The soil of England was fertile. The output of our labour can supply food to a huge number of animals but the fruits of their hard work is stolen by humans. The animals' dung fertilizes the soil and the animals' labour tills the soil, but the produce is stolen. The eggs and calves are sold. Pigs and animals are sold as meat and most animals are not allowed to reach their natural life span. The answer is Rebellion! 

Three nights later old Major died peacefully. The pigs now Snowball and Napoleon were now the leaders. One day, Mr Jones was so drunk he forgot to feed his livestock. The animals revolted. They could tolerate no more. The animals managed to drive Mr Jones and her wife ad his four men out of the farm. And now the Manor Farm was theirs, sooner than they had expected. 

Manor Farm was named Animal Farm and seven commandments were painted on the walls. They the began the hay harvest. It was an extremely difficult job as the tools were designed for humans not animals. But their efforts were rewarded. The harvest was an even bigger success than the had imagined.The animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be. Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their food, produced by themselves and for themselves. On Sundays there was no work. After breakfast there was a ceremony held. A flag was designed and hoisted on every Sunday as a tribute to their success. The pigs the started forming committees and started teaching animals to read.

Animal Farm flag. The green color symbolizes the green fields of England and the hoof and horn signified the future of the Republic of Animals which would arise after the human race had been finally overthrown.
