Battle of the Cowshed
Meet the New Boss.
Mr. Jones comes back to reclaim his farm.
Chaleeya Yeh
Dover, Kent. Early in October, Jones and all of his men, with half a dozen from Foxwood and Pinchfield farm, laid siege to Animal Farm but they were thwarted.
They were armed with various objects, such as sticks, except for Mr. Jones, who proceeded vanguard with a gun in his hand.
However, the animals anticipated that Mr. Jones would come back and were prepared to defend themselves and keep control of the farm.
We interviewed a pig named Snowball and he told us “I knew they were coming! And they did just like I expected. I had prepared myself by reading old books of Julius Caesar’s campaigns which I found in the farmhouse and that gave me ideas on how to plan defense. Oh and I was also in charge of the defensive operations!”
These animals planned their defense to the last detail as everyone knew what they had to do and where they had to be.
Snowball had devised different tactics to defend the farm.
The first wave of attack consisted of pigeons and the geese but Jones and his men easily drove them off with their sticks; the second wave was made up of Muriel the goat, Benjamin the Donkey and all the sheep who rushed forward and prodded as well as butted the men from all sides.
In spite of everything, the men rushed into the yard, just as snowball had planned, and just as they entered the yard, three horses, three cows and the rest of the pigs emerged and dashed towards the men.
Boxer, a cart horse, seemed to be the most terrifying out of all the animals, rearing up on his back legs and striking out with his great iron-shod like a stallion.
Boxer hit young stable-lad from Foxwood on the skull which sent him flying lifeless into the ground; and at that sight, the men all dropped their sticks and ran for their lives.

Having gone unfed for hours, the animals break into the store-shed and eat. Mr. Jones and the farmhands rush in and begin whipping the animals indiscriminately, and the animals respond by attacking them in unison. The men are frightened and forced to flee the farm.…

    "Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? ...Surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?" (36).

    Squealer says threatenly, “Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?”(49). Just the short mention of Farmer Jones, scares the animals back to the realization that they never ever want to see Jones again. When they think of Jones, they think of the terribly cruel working/living conditions they experienced on the farm when he was in charge. For example, how Jones constantly forgot to clean their stalls and cheating the animals of all their hard work such as stealing the chickens’ eggs. The animals would do absolutely anything if they knew it meant never having to go back to this oppressive way of life.…

    One of the animals was a crab. A crab can be described as crustacean with a broad carapace, stalked eyes, and fire pairs of legs. The author says, “The boys groped about like blind, cautious crabs crouching to protect their midsections, their heads pulled in short against their shoulders, their arms stretched nervously before them, with their fists testing the smoke-filled air like the knobbed feelers of hypersensitive snails.” The author refers crabs to the boys. The boys were afraid to fight each other in the ring. Unfortunately, they were blind folded to fight each other or they would get punished. Also, they were blind folded so they were scared and they did not know where they was going or doing.…

    Nothing could be more superior in a leader, than being “for the people”. Snowball was for the Animals’ Rights, and showed it prominent ways. During Old major’s speech, he came up with the idea of Animalism, where animals are highly acknowledged, and humans are shunned from the animal world. Snowball was the first pig to take any action in improving upon Animalism. Old Major had a long list of rules and regulations for the animals if a rebellion was to take place. Snowball…

    Snowball was also one of the leaders of the pigs, however was betrayed by Napoleon later. He was a lot more diligent than Napoleon but he lacked more depth in character and personality. Snowball, who represents Leon Trotsky, is a gradual politician and targets to advance Animal Farm with a windmill and other technological improvements, but Napoleon expels him before he can do so. In his absence, Snowball comes to characterize a conceptual idea of evil. The animals blame hardships on him, including the windmill’s destruction, and amuse the idea that he is waiting on one of the close farms, scheming revenge. Napoleon uses the animals’ fear of Snowball to create new excitement and changes…
