Writing

Why let a animal with no good intentions take over? I ask why? Do you want to be part of the solution with me or the pollution with an animal like Napoleon? A animal that does not give his comrades Emboldened or even give them faith. I once heard an animal, a wise animal, a animal that spoke up for his comrades. Old Major was that man. He died in his sleep fighting for his comrades something Napoleon would never do.

Napoleon is an animal with no trust. Would you, you or you trust an animal thats takes from his own comrades. He took apples milks and even eggs from his own comrades. Napoleon said, "all animals are equal." I ask how? How can we all be equal if food is being taking from us and giving to just the pigs. A man that goes back on his word can never be trusted.

Napoleon set seven commandments

1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.

2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.

Napoleon started to act like humans. He is letting us animals drink alcohol sleep in beds and he is killing other animals. Why let an animal be in control that does not stick behind his words or even his commandments?Why Napoleon?

You ask why should I be in charge? I'll tell you why. I'm here not for me but for all of you. Have I every taken or done anything to go against my word or even Napoleon seven commandments? I will be here to fight for you. I will not rest or Capitulated tell I do whats right for all of you.

PFQ!

1F:Mollie, goes missing.

1Q:Who would kidnap Mollie?

2P:They will find Mollie dead.

2F:Mollie is never mentioned again.

2Q:Why was Mollie never mentioned again?

3P:Nepoleon will kill Snowball for power.

3F:The divisions between Snowball and Napoleon are becoming more pronounced, and it seems that they now oppose each other on every proposal. Snowball’s eloquence allows him to control the meetings, However, Napoleon works quietly behind the scenes building support, and succeeding in getting all of the sheep onto his side.

3Q:Who do you think will become leader?Why?

4P:Nepoleon will do something to mass Snowball plans up.

4F:Snowball is forever proposing new plans and schemes for the improvement of the farm, all of which are opposed by Napoleon. Snowball’s most ambitious plan is for the construction of a windmill, which he says can provide heat and electricity to the farm. He accepts that it will be a huge undertaking, and is vague about some of the details. Napoleon is completely against the idea, and makes his opposition clear. Snowball continues to work on his plans, and spends hours every day in a shed working on them, drawing them out on the wooden floor. All of the animals visit Snowball regularly in the shed to watch the plans grow into something that looks very complex and impressive.

4Q:What do you think Nepoleon will do?

5P:Snowball will be killed so he will have no chance at getting power.

5F:The farm is divided into two factions at this stage, the “Vote for Snowball and the three-day week” faction, and the “Vote for Napoleon and the full manger” faction. Snowball has convinced his faction that the windmill will lead to increased leisure time for everybody, while Napoleon has convinced his faction that the distraction of the windmill will cause the animals to lose time on the harvest and starve.

5Q:Do you think Snowball will win?

6P:Snowball will be killed by the dogs.

6F:The sheep heckle Snowball as he explains his plans for the windmill, and why it will be good for the farm. Napoleon then rises and gives a very brief and curt address, advising everyone to vote against the windmill. Snowball then speaks again. He talks passionately and eloquently, and creates a vision of a mechanised farm with heat and light, with electrical threshers and ploughs and reapers, where the animals do little or no work, and All the labour is carried out by the electricity generated by the windmill. It is clear that Snowball will win the vote. Just then, Napoleon stands and emits a queer sound, a kind of whimper. At this signal, nine huge dogs, the dogs that Napoleon took away as puppies months before, rush into the barn and charge at Snowball.

6Q:What do you think happend to Snowball?

7P:Everyone will hate Napoleon and turn on him for what he did to Snowball.

7F: The dogs chase him from the barn and off the farm. He is never seen again.

7Q:Do you think Snowball is dead?

8P:The animals will start to think for them selfs.

8F:He tells them that Sunday Meetings are henceforth abolished, and that all decisions in future will be taken solely by the pigs. Any dissent is silenced by growls from the dogs, and the meeting finishes to a fifteen-minute chorus of “Four legs good, two legs bad” from the sheep. Squealer follows up in the aftermath, explaining to the shocked animals of the farm that Napoleon has taken on the leadership with great reluctance and with great sacrifice to himself. The animals are soon won over when they are reminded of what life was like under Jones.Three weeks after this fateful meeting, Napoleon announces that the Windmill will now be built. The animals are warned that this will mean lots of extra hard work, and a reduction in their rations. Squealer explains the apparent change of heart by convincing the animals that Napoleon had been in favour of the windmill all along, but had to appear to be against it in order to get rid of Snowball. The animals are easily persuaded.

8Q:Why do you think Nepoleon was in faver of tje windmill after Snpwball was gone? Do you think the animal will start a rebellion?
