Animal Farm ch 3-4

4-22-14 Animal Farm ch3-4
Summary: The animals are forced to do the work that the farmers once did to get their food and other necessities. They are having difficulty with some tasks while making others much easier. The pigs are assumed of being selfish for all winter apples and milk were only to the pigs. The word of the rebellion is spread to animals and humans alike, and Jones gathers together a band of men to get his farm back. This battle was named Cowshed.
 
Quote: “And then the human beings listened to it, they secretly trembled, hearing it to be a prophecy to their future doom.”
 
Sig of Quote: The song, “Beasts of England”, acts as a foretelling story. The humans are right to be frightened, since now that the animals are getting wiser and more savage than ever before.
 
Reflection: In no time at all will the animals attract as many followers needed to wipe out the humans. But it seems that some of the animals have different perspectives on the humans than others do. For example, Boxer was devastated when Snowball pronounced the young stable boy dead. He said how its the right thing to do, but Boxer is still guilty. He didnt want to kill, even if it was a human, their “enemy”. The pigs are the ones enforcing this life onto the other animals who aren't as smart as the pigs. Them not being as smart as the pigs is leaving them with no rights, and being treated just as bad as they were when Farmer Jones was still around.
 
Question: When will other animals start to riot and what will happen then?
