How the animals in Animal Farm rebel against the humans.

        The animals seem to cope rather well with the up-keeping of the farm and although at first they find it hard to use the tools for farming as they had been designed for man, they get used to it and bring in the harvest which there was a lot more of and they did this a lot quicker than any years that Mr Jones had been running the farm. They also manage to milk the cows, although the pigs had kept the milk for themselves. The animals had rebelled because they didn’t want a leader to be ruling over them and telling them what to do but they let the pigs take over them without realising.

        I do not think that they accomplished the rebellion he way that Old Major had wanted them to, reasons for this could be because of the fact that the pigs had taken over and were leading the other animals and telling them what to do. In Old Majors speech he had said they should rebel because they want equality and to be treated fairly, but since the pigs took over they are more important than the rest of the animals and are being manipulated by the pigs. Old Major had also wanted the animals to have nothing to do with how the humans had ruled before including using anything they had used, but the animals are using human equipment to run the farm.

         I certainly believe that the animals in animal farm had attempted to rebel in the way their previous leader, Old Major, had imagined but they had misinterpreted it and the pigs appointed themselves as leaders and told the other animals what to do. They also could have had a better rebellion if they had had a plan for how they were going to achieve this rather than just seizing a chance in which they saw they could rebel from it. If they had had a plan the rebellion may have happened in such a way that it made the lives of the animals easier and the control of the animals would have lasted longer.
