ANIMAL FARM SUMMARY
ANIMAL FARM SUMMARY- The book starts out on Manor Farm in England, Probably around the late 1800's to the early 1900's. There is an old wise pig named Major giving a speech in the barn to all the other animals. His speech is basically about a dream he had about how it would be like if animals overruled humans. He told everyone that there would be rebellion against the humans and Mr. Jones, the farmer. They would run the farm themselves and feed themselves. They would never go hungry and never be over worked and never be beaten. At the end of his speech Old Major taught everyone a song called "The Beasts of England" Three days later he died peacefully in his sleep. When Old Major died, three pigs took his place as the leader. These pigs' names were Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer. These three held meetings every week to discuss the business of the farm and Animalism. Now, Snowball and Napoleon were very different. They could never agree on anything. Snowball was extremely intelligent and kind. Napoleon on the other hand, was tough and to the point. His speeches were short and he often threatened and scared people into believing him and turn against Snowball. Things went as they normally did for a while. One day everythi
One day Jones came home to fight back this time he was a little bit more prepared, but he still had to retreat. This time one of the sheep died, Snowball got shot, and Boxer (the horse) almost killed a man. Heroic animals such as Boxer and Snowball were given medals. This battle was called, "The Battle of Cowshed." One day the windmill was found in pieces. This was blamed on Snowball. Napoleon claimed that Snowball had been working for Mr. Jones the whole time. Napoleon decided that the windmill would be reconstructed, but this time it would be three times as thick, to prevent Snowball and Mr. Jones from knocking it over again. One day Mr. Jones came home very drunk, and neglected the animals for days. The animals were so hungry they fed themselves but Mr. Jones didn't like that. Mr. Jones and his men came at the animals with whips, guns, and other weapons. The animals fought back so well that it didn't take the men very long to retreat. Once the animals had closed the gates behind the men the rebellion had just begun. The animals celebrated their great triumph. They took all of Mr. Jones cruel weapons and threw them down the well. They explored Mr. Jones house; they found many things made from animals and their labor. Horrified by the house the animals decided to turn it into a museum and not enter the wicked place ever again. The pigs taught themselves to how to read and write, and they attempted to teach the others. The name Manor Farm was replaced with the name Animal Farm. The pigs made some rules. Called the seven commandments, which every animal on the farm had to follow. If an animal broke one of the commandments they would be punished. The pig's started to live in the farmhouse and they started making deals with humans. They also did no work, except for "Paper Work." The pigs even started to drink alcohol. These things broke the commandments but every time the pigs broke a commandment Squealer changed the commandment. If anyone brought anything up Squealer was able to lie and convince them otherwise. Since the pigs had spent most of their money on alcohol, the whole farm was low on food supplies and money. The only way they could think to ma
