animal farm stuff

Hi all,

This is me again. I am now posting about animal farm stuff.

I will be writing a summary of chapter 5, which is an important chapter and marks the most important turning point of events for the farm.

As winter drew, Molli became increasingly troublesome. She turned out to be a pain in the neck for the other animals, for her work productivity was extremely low, and she consistently refused to cooperate. Clover later discovered that she had betrayed the farm by intereacting with Pilkington's men. She was later forgotten by the rest. Meanwhile, winter was arriving, but Napoleon and Snowball were caught in a power struggle. Both argued over trivial matters at the Meetings. Snowball would raise plans for innovations and improvements, while Napoleon would talk about working on the yield and acquiring fire arms. The most controversial topic was the one on the windmill. Snowball derived a plan for its construction, on which Napoleon crudely urined. Snowball often won the majoriy's vote due to his eloquence and powerful oration. One day, Napoleon expelled Snowball using the dogs he had indoctrinated in seclusion. Soon after Napoleon took power, he annnounced a ban on all Meetings, to avoid any argument and disagreement towards his decisions, and to secure his domination. Napoleon later ordered old Major's skill to be disinterred and set up at the foot of the flagstaff as a monument of respect. This is a wicked method of propaganda aimed at relating himself to old Major to heighten his social status and secure power. It reflects his greed, his large ego, and the bleak future of Animal Farm. Napoleon soon announced that the windmill would be undergoing construction. He had in fact waited for Snowball to complete his plans before expelling him, for his future reference. He apparently possessed strong foresight and intelligence. In addition, this chapter includes several cases/ incidence of propaganda by Squealer. This is hence the turning point of life for the farm animals

That's all folks.

Cheers,
