books from Mr. Jones’s house most animals learned how to read and write. The pigs took some

The pigs made the seven commandments of Animalism. “1. Whatever goes upon two legs

is an enemy. 2 Whatever goes upon four legs, or 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.”(Orwell,33) The local farmers did not want their

animals to find out about the takeover at Animal Farm so a group of men attacked the animals

which was known as the battle of cowshed. Snowball had an idea to build a windmill to give the

animals electricity. Napoleon did not think that was a good idea. One day the animals were having

a meeting and some dogs came in and attacked snowball who ran away and nobody saw him their

again. Then Napoleon was the leader and he built the wind mill, then a storm knocked the wind

mill down. The animals just built in bigger and thicker. Napoleon had a meeting with the animals

to talk about the traitor snowball and some animals confessed to plot with snowball, they were

killed by the dogs. The pigs start sleeping in the beds in the house.
