Pg. # ,Quote, & Response
25 “Mr. Jones of Manor Farm, had locked the hen houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop holes.” I think this displays the beginning of the rebellion. Mr. Jones was careless and forgetful.
28 “There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word – Man.” This shows the feeling towards humans from the point of the animals.
37 “’Comrade’, said Snowball, ‘those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?’” It is interesting how each animal has an individual opinion of what they are going to give up for the rebellion.
38 “When Mr. Jones got back he immediately went to sleep on the drawing room sofa with the News of the World over his face, so that when the evening came, the animals were still unfed. At last they could stand it no longer.” Mr. Jones again displayed his forgetfulness and carelessness.
45 “But the pigs were so clever that they could think of a way around every difficulty.” This shows the beginning of the pigs’ dominance.
52 “Now if there was one thing that the animals were completely certain of, it was that they did not want Jones back.” I think this shows how the animals had made a definite decision of rebellion towards humans and Mr. Jones.
54 “Every day Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals of neighboring farms, tell the story of rebellion, and teach then the tune of Beasts of England.” The animals were happy, proud, and wanted everyone to know of their rebellion and wanted them to join.
58 “And so within five minutes of their invasion they were in ignominious retreat by the same way they had come, with a flock of geese hissing after them and pecking at their calves all the way.” The animals displayed their confidence and how prepared they were through this action.
62 “A thought struck Clover. Without saying anything to

    However, the animals didn’t consider how this set-up could result in the same situation as before with Mr. Jones, but after seeing the success of the rebellion thrived every animal admired them. As characters develop around these leaders, readers begin to see the mentor/leader archetype. “Every day Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with animals on neighboring farms, tell them the story of the rebellion, and teach the tune of Beasts of England.”(INSERT PAGE NUMBER) Leadership is healthy in moderation, but sometimes leadership becomes authoritative and causes some to feel inferior. Napoleon and Snowball begin to make such as no animal should stand on two legs, wear clothing, or sleep in a bed. It should be noted that these are typically things that humans would do—thus further highlighting the necessary overthrow of Mr. Jones. This is where the child archetype starts to show in the other animals. The animals willingly listened and followed orders given by the leaders in hopefor a change.…

    The animals had already thrown out their oppresive government but, in doing so they created an even worse form of it. The animals revolt, and take over to create a new and more pure form, but not without the death of a few key characters along the way. Death and power are more cloesly related that we might originally think. Many people fear death, because when you are dead you have no power, voice, or emotion. But quite the opposite is true. Governments use death to inflict fear, and to keep people in line, like snowball does with the chickens. But the oppressed use death as something to inspire. When boxer dies, the animals use his dearth as a reason to fight back, to regain the power they lost. When people are fighting for someone who has died, and justice for the future, they are more passionate, and more likely to succeed. In Ferguson, the community rallied behind Michael Brown’s family and friends and spoke out for justice. And even though their message may have sometimes gotten lost because of violence, the point was made to the Government; we will not stand for such an injustice, a change needs to be made. This struggle with the government took a long time, but the fight never stopped, and today we know that what they fought for was just, and…

    Even though they have taken over the farm, the animals work just as hard, if not harder than they did before the rebellion.

    Very few of the animals remember the times before the overruling of Famer Jones. “As for others, their life, so far as they knew was as it has always been,” (Orwell, 119). But they are oh so wrong. The whole perspective of the rebellion was so that every animal was equal to one another. By the end of the book that had all changed. There used to be 7 commandments written up on the barn wall. They read,…

    Snowball who was one of the pigs, made the Seven Commandments, was one of the pigs who made speeches , and drew up the plans for the windmill. Napoleon saw Snowball as a threat and called his dogs on him while presenting his idea for the windmill. After Snowball was gone, Napoleon used him as an excuse for everything bad that happened, whether it be caused by nature or by the remaining pigs. He used Snowball as a way to manipulate the other animals.…
