Old Major promised the animals a better life. He persuaded them to rebel against Mr Jones. The animals agreed to the rebellion and it was very successful but about three days after the rebellion took place their leader Old Major died.
Not long after Old Major died the pigs thinking they were the brightest and most sophisticated of all the animals on the farm thought that they should take leadership or authority over the farm animals. Nopoleon became the over all leader.
Before Old major died he gave an inspirational speech just like Karl Marx describing what was wrong with their lives and want they must not do to turn there lives back to the way they were.
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs or has wings is a friend. We must not come to resemble him. No animals must ever live in a house, or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade. No animal must ever kill any other animal. All animals are equal.
Almost as soon as the rebellion was completed, the pigs begun to complicate the rules. Naplolean and the other pigs began to corrupt the seventh commandment
All animals are equal
This rule got broken when Napoleaon took leadership of the farm casting himself higher than every one else.
The seven commandments were written on the barn wall the smatter of the animals could remember all seven but the dim animals (i.e. the sheep) can only remember: Two legs good four legs bad. Napoleon knew that the animals weren’t sure want the seven commandments actually meat and he used this like everything else to his advantage.
The pigs started to break more and more rules, they began with taking the apples and the milk and when the other animal found out they went and confronted squaler said
It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know want would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back yes, Jones would come back.
Squealer repeats, “Jones will come Back” when ever one of the seven commandments were broken by one of the pigs. He does this so they become afraid but most importantly he says this to brain wash them. The pigs also get up one hour earlier than everyone else and this is breaking the seventh commandment again.
The second rule that the pigs broke was when they moved into the farmhouse even though old Major said
No animal must ever live in a house.
But they then started to sleep in their beds when at the start of the rebellion they promised not to touch the farmhouse but to keep it as a museum, however the pigs, thinking they’re special, move into the farmhouse and started to sleep in the beds.
Nevertheless, some of the animals were disturbed when they heard that the pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds.
When the animals whet to look at the barn wall were the commandments had been written the one that had been broken had been changed to?
No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets
The next rule to broken was
No animals shall kill another animal
It came about when Napolean started to stop feeding the hens so in the end it lead to the death of most of them and then Napolean started to talk some of his fellow pigs into saying that they had been secretly talking to Snowball.
They were the same four pigs that had protested when Napolean abolished the Sunday meetings
“Without any furthur prompting they confessed that they had been secretly in touch with Snowball.”
And later in the story Boxer the hourse gets sent to the Knacker and.
