Animal Farm


Animal Farm is very interesting story about how farm animals overruled their human master. It all started when the farm owner forgot to feed the animals because he got drunk one night. The next day when the farm hands came out to get the animals they started a rebellion. All the animals busted out of their stables and chased the humans of the farm and the farm was finally theirs. They celebrated the victory for a couple of days before getting down to business about how to keep the farm in order and who is the new leader. The pig’s voluntarily pronounced that since they were the smartest they should be in charge of the farm. Every animal on the farm agreed with that decision and the two main leaders were Napoleon and Snowball. Napoleon and Snowball never agreed on anything at all including on the rules of what the animals should do. Snowball was always for the pig that was doing what was best for the animals and farm and even came up with the idea of making a windmill to help with farm work and put heat in the stables for them. Napoleon eventually drove Snowball off the farm and blamed everything that had happened on him. He later on started manipulating all the animals to do what he wanted them to do like build a wind mill, pick more crops and eventually grow barley which was used to make alcohol for the pigs. There was one horse that was thought to be as strong as all the farm animals together. He was always agreeing with Napoleon and eventually wore is body down by doing extra work without being ask to. One day when the horse was in the stable Napoleon sent for the horse butch to come and get him. Little did they know that they were going to kill him. After that Napoleon held a meeting with all the surrounding farmers and drunk and played cards like they were humans as well. In the end the animals turned out to be just as bad as and worse than the original farm owner ever was.
