Animal farm is a farm owned by Mr. Jones. Of course Mr. Jones has
animals in this farm, as a person he thinks nothing of the animals. He
has no clue that the animals have a plan of there own to take over his
farm. Old Major is an old pig that has been around the farm for a
while. Old Major had a dream one night and decided to tell the other
animas. From his dream, he has an idea that makes him want the animals
to have as much freedom as the people do. Since Old Major has been
around the farm for a while, he knew he would not be around much longer
and about three days after he told the animals about this idea he died.
Napoleon and Snowball (two pigs) have decided to become leaders of
the animals. There is another pig named Squealer who has kind of helped
as leader. One day when Mr. Jones got drunk, which is often, he forgot
to feed the animals. They went with out eating for about two days
before they did anything. Finally they got mad and when Mr. Jones came
outside by them the animals attacked him. All of Mr. Jones workers ran
along with him and left the farm. Mrs. Jones had no clue what was going
on because she was sleeping but she woke up during the commotion and
left along with Mr. Jones.
After they left one of the pigs repainted the Manor Farm sign to
Animal Farm. The pig leaders had to be organized so they made seven
rules. They are; any animal that is on two legs are enemies, the
animals on four legs are friends, no animals are allowed to sleep in
beds, no animals can wear clothes, no animals can drink alcohol, no
animals can kill another animal, and all animals are created equal. The
animals have decided to do some of the chores around the house like
milk the cows so they can have some milk. Napoleon tells the animals
that they have more important things to do.
After a while the pigs have not been following the rules and kept
changing the rules, like the pigs would sleep in the bed and one of the
rules was that you are not allowed to sleep in beds. But they changed
it to you cannot sleep in the bed with sheets. As time passes lots of
people around farms have heard about this animal farm. Mr. Jones tries
to get other people to come and help him get his farm back.
Now it is winter and Snowball decides to build a windmill. Napoleon,
who now has gotten sick of Snowball, disagrees with him. Napoleon gets
fed up with Snowball and gets nine or ten dogs to chase Snowball out of
the farm. Well most of the animals probably think that Napoleon killed
him. So, Napoleon has broken another rule. Now that Napoleon is the
only leader, he decides to go with the windmill idea. Napoleon has gone
totally out or control and is ruling the whole farm making all the
animals become slaves. One day in a storm the windmill fell over and
Napoleon blamed it on Snowball. Now the animals have almost no food and
have no way of getting any. Now as the years go on lots of the animals’
die, and Squealer becomes leader, he learns how to walk on two legs and
changes the chant to “ four legs good, two legs better”.
This Animal Farm has gone out of control, the people have not ruled
over the animal farm yet and by the end of the book they still had not.
But in the Animal farm the animals cannot even tell pig faces from
human faces.
