chapter 2

Three nights later old Major died peacefully in his sleep. But his words were deeply impressed in animals’ minds. Then after his death, those pigs-who were generally recognized as being the cleverest of the animals carried on the work of teaching and organizing. They learned reading and writing in three months. And Snowball and Napoleon were the most outstanding two young boars among the pigs. Snowball is vivacious and creative. On the other hand, Napoleon is not much of a talker but with a reputation for getting his own way. Besides, the one named Squealer who was a brilliant talker, and his words could even turn black into white. These three pigs gave the idea of old Major’s speech name of Animalism and made into a complete system.

There are also some animals named Boxer and Clover pay very honor to those pigs and spread the Animalism in quiet way, on the other hand a raven named Moses who spread that animals will go to Sugarcandy Mountain when they die and some animals were deeply influenced by human beings like Mollie.

Everything was just a thought in their minds until Mr. Jones’ money trouble appeared; he was too worried about his trouble to feed the animals. But for animal, how could they understand his problem. All they need at that moment is feeding. Until Mr. Jones back from drinking outside, the animals decided to not to bear it any longer, right, they were going to carry their Rebellion. All the animals together except Moses against their owner Mr. Jones with great powers that human being could not believe, and they won.

After they did the revolution successfully, they began to throw all the things that are made by human beings blindly except the house but no animal could live there. They also changed MANOR FARM into ANIMAL FARM. Moreover, they got more food than before so they are so pleased to have “a new bright future.” Then they set up several rules named “THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS” basic on old Major’s speech:

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.

Snowball encouraged the animals to continue working in the farm. And Napoleon told the other animals that they should not pay attention to the milk. Then when the animals were back from work they found it had disappeared.
