Animal Farm By: George Orwell
Animal Farm By: George Orwell Word Count: 975 The oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, gathered all the farm animals into the barn. He told them of a dream he had about one day animals ruling the world. He said there was to be a rebellion in the farm against their cruel farmer, Mr. Jones. Old Major did not know when the rebellion was to take place but he knew it would be soon. He taught the barnyard a song called Beasts Of England. This song riled the animals up about the rebellion. Three nights later Old Major died. There were pigs to take his place though. They were Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer. They called Old Majors teachings "Animalism." After Old Major died the animals did not think that much of the rebellion as they used to. Two horses did not like the idea. They were Clover and Mollie. The other horse, Boxer, listened to what ever his leader said. The pigs also had trouble with the farmer's tame raven, Moses. Moses said that the rebellion was not a good idea. One day however, the rebellion did happen. After the animals had the farm secure, they made laws called the Seven Commandments. They were like our ten commandments.

They said they needed it for their brains to work properly. They also said this about the ripen apples that fell. The pigs say that they need a certain thing to function many times throughout the novel. By the end of summer, the news about Animal Farm had spread throughout the country. Napoleon sent pigeons out to other farms in the area trying to rile them up to rebel. People around Animal Farm thought it would only last a little while but when they found out their animals were showing signs of rebelling, they came to the decision of attacking the farm. The strike force included twelve men, the former farm hands, and Mr. Jones who had a rifle. As the men approached the animals struck and won. The attack was lead by Snowball. They raised a flag and gave awards to those who deserved it. People were beginning to realize that Animal Farm was a real threat. In the winter Mollie left and went to another farm. Snowball proposed to build a windmill. At the meeting where they would decide about the... This is ONLY a preview of the article.
