Chapter 7: What was going through your mind from the beginning to the end of the hen's rebellion, and Napoleon's inquisition*?


This made me think that the rebellion would fail. The reason why I thought this was because when you look at the 7 commandments -and of the law- that no animal should kill another animal is no more. This is because Napoleon is basically kill all the animals on the farm (or he eventually will). Already Napoleon has killed nine hens, and 4 porkers which equals 13 kills so far. These were also for small reasons because the hen didn't want to donate any eggs to the humans just for the well being of Napoleon making money. This caused the hen rebellion, but later on he killed 4 porkers just because they disagreed with Napoleon.

Visualizing the conditions of the farm, they have reached the extent where you can describe the Animal farm is facing a civil war. This is so because they don't have such a great leader (Napoleon) who can control things for the good of the animal farm. Including the fact that there are huge protest going and he is the one how has caused this. Also Napoleon killed his own people from the government, just for not agreeing with his statement. This is why I can confidently say that the rebellion will fail.

Don't you think that Napoleon has been overwhelmed with too much power?

Chapter 6: How are the facts being twisted and changed, and for whom are they being changed?




Many facts are being twisted and turned into lies and the pigs have changed around some of the seven commandments. From:"No animal should sleep in a bed" to: ''No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets. Also the pigs ate their food in kitchen and ate off plates which is something completely humanly, and the food which they eat was also humanly. Even though they have as leaders not followed the 7 commandments, the go up to their people and announce that it is a to sleep on beds and to eat good food as taking the responsibility for leading the animal farm. They also are not sharing these necessities of theirs' with the rest of the animals. 

Since they are doing more humanly things they have even started interacting with them saying that they will be trading with the neighboring farms. Napoleon has started interaction with the humans by having Mr.A. Whimper a solicitor passing along messages and trading necessary props with the out side world and animal farm.

Another twisted fact would be that Napoleon and squealer to change the animal's social conscience of that Napoleon was the actually the one who came up with the plan of the wind mill. Ever since Snowball had stolen all the drawings, pictures, and ideas right off Napoleon's notes. This made me think that the rebellion would fail after all and Jones would be back. My reason to this is that is they can't get all with each other and find a solution and will keep on trying to kill each other, how could they even believe that they could be able to lead a huge rebellion?  

But if were to make this decision obviously the first one to leave would be Napoleon because most of the time he is the one useless and not really needed. Also he was the one who can't even think of this idea, including the one being the kidnapper of the dogs he used to kill Snowball which is also against the 7 commandments.
