Animal Farm 2

A detailed Summary of Animal Farm 2

About 80 per-cent of all the animals on Animal Farm completely followed the seven commandments. The other 20 per-cent of the animals would rarely follow all the rules and they were often treated like a piece of dirt. All the animals on Animal Farm were treated differently according to their social status, where in today's society everyone should treat everyone equally. The characters in Animal Farm had many diverse characteristics, some of the animals were powerful, stupid, and sneaky.

First of all, Napoleon is a huge Berkshire boar and he clearly is the most powerful of all the animals. He was able to take complete leadership of the farm because he secretly trained the dogs to attack Snowball. George Orwell writes, " 'Never mind the milk, comrades!' cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. 'That will be attended to, the harvest is more important' (817). Napoleon is quite demanding none of the animal's even question his authority because they know that he has more control than any other animal.

George Orwell expresses what animal's opinions are about humans, "War is wars. The only good human being is a dead one.' I have no wish to take life, not even human life,' " repeated Boxer and his eyes were full of tears (822). This just goes to show us that Boxer has no clue what he is talking about. He thinks that humans are so bad, but if the animals had the help of more humans Animal Farm would have been run better. In the novel Orwell does a good job of describing what the animals believed, "It says, 'No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets, she announced finally" (832).
