Animal Farm - George Orwell
Chapter I : Old Major gathers the farm animals together on a certain evening at the Manor Farm in order to share his knowledge and insight into the oppression that is caused by people, as well as his hope that animals may one day be able to overthrow the humans. Later on, he explains to them the numerous human vices that they should steer clear of, teaches them a song called "Beasts of England," and informs them of the individuals who are deemed to be comrades and those who are not.
Chapter IV: Mr. Jones marches on Animal Farm with men from nearby farms. Snowball leads the animals to triumph over the humans by using his knowledge of Julius Caesar, the Roman general. The animals promise to shoot on the anniversaries of the Rebellion and their victory, retrieving Mr. Jones's gun.
Chapter V: Snowball brings up the idea of building a windmill, but Napoleon objects, saying it will take too much labor. The next time the animals get together to talk about Snowball's idea to build the windmill, Napoleon's nine dogs attack Snowball and drive him off the property. The animals agree with Squealer when he says that Napoleon is the most suitable animal to be their leader and that Snowball was a traitor. Squealer also indicates that Napoleon needed to remove Snowball before he could decide that building a windmill was a good idea.
Chapter VI :
The animals work hard to build the windmill under Napoleon and the pigs. The animals gradually question the pigs' decisions, including why they work with humans and sleep on beds. Squealer reassures them that the commandments were misunderstood and that they can trade with people and use money to buy windmill parts. He also claims that pigs must sleep well to think. Napoleon executes Snowball for sabotaging their hard work when a storm destroys the windmill on the property.
Chapter VII : The animals face difficulties in reconstructing the windmill throughout the harsh winter. However, Napoleon surprises everyone by making the controversial decision to sell eggs to the farmers, which directly contradicts the teachings of Old Major. The chickens withhold their eggs from Napoleon and subsequently perish due to the deprivation of their nutrition. Napoleon convenes a gathering, compelling certain animals to admit their involvement in a plot with Snowball. Subsequently, he orders his canines to execute them.
Chapter VIII : Mr. Frederick deceives Napoleon by tricking him into taking counterfeit currency in exchange for a stack of logs. An intense conflict erupts between the forces of Mr. Frederick and the animals, resulting in severe injuries sustained by Boxer. On the day following the pigs' discovery of a crate of whiskey, the animals come across Squealer modifying the commandment prohibiting animals from drinking. Despite acknowledging that their recollection of the commandments may be flawed, they unquestioningly embrace the altered version.
Chapter XI: The farm's resources continue to diminish when 31 piglets, sired by Napoleon, are born. The pigs declares Animal Farm a republic and elects Napoleon as its president. Meanwhile, there are ongoing speculations regarding Snowball's act of betrayal. When Boxer loses consciousness and is transported on a cart that implies he is being carried to a glue factory to be killed, the animals become extremely anxious, but their fears are calmed by Squealer and Napoleon.
Chapter X : After a considerable amount of time, Clover emits a loud vocalization that captures the attention of the other animals. They gather in the yard and observe Napoleon and Squealer walking upright on their hind legs. The pigs progressively partake in increasingly anthropomorphic activities, to the extent of extending an invitation to Mr. Pilkington, who commends them for the triumph of their farm and their supervision of the other animals. The animals observe through the window as the pigs and farmers engage in a game of cards, unable to discern between the human and porcine participants.
