This very morning we begin rebuilding the windmill, and we will build all through the winter, rain or shine.
Paragraph 19 - Napoleon announces that they will then start rebuilding. That they would teach the miserable traitor that he cannot undo their work so easily.
The animals were shocked beyond measure to learn that even Snowball could be guilty of such an action.
Paragraph 18 - The animals are shocked that Snowball could ever do such a thing. They then find footprints and Napoleon sniffs them claiming they are Snowball's ,
o you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!"
Paragraph 17 - Napoleon claims that Snowball destroyed the windmill and has the animals turn against them. Napoleon then pronounces the death sentence upon Snowball.
Unable at first to speak, they stood gazing mournfully at the litter of fallen stone.
Paragraph 16 - The animals were still in shock when they first saw it. They found the windmill completely destroyed and was unable to speak at first.
In the morning the animals came out of their stalls to find that the flagstaff had been blown down and an elm tree at the foot of the orchard had been plucked up like a radish. They had just noticed this when a cry of despair broke from every animal's throat. A terrible sight had met their eyes. The windmill was in ruins.
Paragraph 15 - The animals found the windmill completely ruined after a night that was just so windy.
By the autumn the animals were tired but happy.
Paragraph 14 - This paragraph says that by Autumn the animals were tired but happy. They harvested and the windmill is almost finished.
no more was said about the pigs sleeping in the farmhouse beds.
Paragraph 13 - Animals stopped talking about the fact that the pigs were now sleeping in the farmhouse beds. Pigs would also now get out of bed an hour later in the mornings than the other animals.
The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. We have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets.
Paragraph 12 - The animals reassure Clover that the fourth commandment means to not sleep in a bed with sheets and that they removed the sheets before sleeping in the beds.
"Muriel," she said, "read me the Fourth Commandment. Does it not say something about never sleeping in a bed?" With some difficulty Muriel spelt it out. "It says, 'No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets,"' she announced finally. Curiously enough, Clover had not remembered that the Fourth Commandment mentioned sheets; but as it was there on the wall, it must have done so. And Squealer, who happened to be passing at this moment, attended by two or three dogs, was able to put the whole matter in its proper perspective.
Paragraph 11 - Clover asks Muriel to read the fourth commandment because she thought there was definitely a resolution going against sleeping in a bed. Muriel read the fourth commandment and there indeed was a commandment going against sleeping in a bed.
It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the farmhouse and took up their residence there.
Paragraph 10 - The pigs started using the farmhouse and yet again Squealer has convinced the animals that there was no resolution against it. The animals start to break the rules more and more.
Every Monday Mr. Whymper visited the farm as had been arranged
Paragraph 9 - Every Monday Mr. Whymper visited the farm for business. The animals avoided him as much as possible as Napoleon provided him with orders. There were also rumours that Napoleon planned to have a business arrangement with either Mr. Pilkington or Mr. Frederick.
Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals' minds at rest.
Paragraph 8 - The animals were still very doubtful about the trading. They thought it went against the resolutions. But Squealer told them and made sure that they thought that the resolutions going against trading were pure imagination, that they were fake.
Once again the animals were conscious of a vague uneasiness. Never to have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money--had not these been among the earliest resolutions passed at that first triumphant Meeting after Jones was expelled?
Paragraph 7 - The animals think about the new policy and how they thought it all went against the earliest resolutions passed at that first triumphant Meeting after Jones was expelled. But Napoleon announced they would be no contact with the humans and that it doesn't go against them.
From now onwards Animal Farm would engage in trade with the neighbouring farms
Paragraph 6 - Napoleon came up with a new policy of trading with near farms to get materials for the windmill.
The animals were not badly off throughout that summer, in spite of the hardness of their work.
Paragraph 5 - The animals are doing just fine without the humans. The animals are hardworking and it's great. The animals way was more efficient and better. Later the animals began to have shortages in many things.
Nothing could have been achieved without Boxer
Paragraph 4 - Boxer was the main source of strength. The animals always needed Boxer with many things. He was very hardworking always striving to work harder and to do better.
But the problem the animals could not at first solve was how to break up the stone into pieces of suitable size.
Paragraph 3- In this paragraph the animals solve a problem they had in the past. They had all the materials but didn't at the time know how to break the stone piece into a suitable size. But they eventually came up with an idea that involved gravity. Smashing the stones into a suitable size.
Napoleon announced that there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well.
Paragraph 2-Napoleon changed up the schedules so that way the animals would work longer and if they worked less than others they would be fed less. Also you can see the harvest was a little less successful than in the previous year.
All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work;
Paragraph 1- The animals worked hard but they were well aware they were doing those things for the benefit for themselves. They were doing great.
None of the animals ever mentioned Mollie again.
Mollie was meeting up with a man who fed her sugar and groomed her. She seemed happy even though she always denied the fact that she was meeting up with a man. The animals never mentioned her again.

Mollie was meeting up with a man who fed her sugar and groomed her. She seemed happy even though she always denied the fact that she was meeting up with a man. The animals never mentioned her again.
That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon's papers.
The animals find out it was actually Napoleons idea but Snowball took it. Napoleon only pretended to be against it to get rid of Napoleon.
On the third Sunday after Snowball's expulsion, the animals were somewhat surprised to hear Napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all. He did not give any reason for having changed his mind, but merely warned the animals that this extra task would mean very hard work, it might even be necessary to reduce their rations. The plans, however, had all been prepared, down to the last detail. A special committee of pigs had been at work upon them for the past three weeks. The building of the windmill, with various other improvements, was expected to take two years.
Napoleon decides to build the windmill.
By this time the weather had broken and the spring ploughing had begun. The shed where Snowball had drawn his plans of the windmill had been shut up and it was assumed that the plans had been rubbed off the floor. Every Sunday morning at ten o'clock the animals assembled in the big barn to receive their orders for the week. The skull of old Major, now clean of flesh, had been disinterred from the orchard and set up on a stump at the foot of the flagstaff, beside the gun. After the hoisting of the flag, the animals were required to file past the skull in a reverent manner before entering the barn. Nowadays they did not sit all together as they had done in the past. Napoleon, with Squealer and another pig named Minimus, who had a remarkable gift for composing songs and poems, sat on the front of the raised platform, with the nine young dogs forming a semicircle round them, and the other pigs sitting behind. The rest of the animals sat facing them in the main body of the barn. Napoleon read out the orders for the week in a gruff soldierly style, and after a single singing of 'Beasts of England', all the animals dispersed.
It is now Spring and Napoleon by this time is like the leader and they do what he say's.
Once again this argument was unanswerable.
The animals decided to suck it up because they certainly did not want Mr. Jones back.
"Bravery is not enough," said Squealer. "Loyalty and obedience are more important.
Squealer sided with (worked for) Napoleon saying that it didn't matter if Snowball was brave. The two pigs made it clear that loyalty and obedience were the key traits.
Squealer sided with Napoleon saying that it didn't matter if Snowball was brave.
Afterwards Squealer was sent round the farm to explain the new arrangement to the others. "Comrades," he said, "I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure! On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be? Suppose you had decided to follow Snowball, with his moonshine of windmills--Snowball, who, as we now know, was no better than a criminal?" "He fought bravely at the Battle of the Cowshed," said somebody.
Napoleon made it very clear that he was now in charge like Mr. Jones was once. He said he was fine with the animals making decisions as long as they were right.
In spite of the shock that Snowball's expulsion had given them, the animals were dismayed by this announcement.
The animals were not at all happy with what was happening.
Napoleon, with the dogs following him, now mounted on to the raised portion of the floor where Major had previously stood to deliver his speech
Napoleon was now in control. This is exactly what the animals didn't want. The animals turned against each other.
Silent and terrified, the animals crept back into the barn.
The dogs come back trying to hurt them and scare them again but then the animals find out the dogs were Napoleon's
At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs
Nine enormous dogs had entered the farm, targeting Snowball. They chased Snowball trying to hurt the animals. Snowball escaped the dogs constantly until finally he slipped through a hole in the hedge.
At last the day came when Snowball's plans were completed. At the Meeting on the following Sunday the question of whether or not to begin work on the windmill was to be put to the vote.
They still couldn't decide about the windmill. So they did a vote. It was split evenly but Snowball convinced some animals.
Apart from the disputes over the windmill, there was the question of the defence of the farm
The idea of another battle was formed, the animals thought that the humans would soon try to have a battle to recapture the farm. The animals try to prepare for the war.
The whole farm was deeply divided on the subject of the windmill
Napoleon and Snowball both have different ideas. They decide whether or not the windmill should be made. BUt Snowball soon declared it should be built.
Within a few weeks Snowball's plans for the windmill were fully worked out.
The plans and details for the windmills were going as planned. Napolean was against them though.
In the long pasture, not far from the farm buildings, there was a small knoll which was the highest point on the farm.
Snowball wants to build a windmill to create electricity to warm them in the winter.
In January there came bitterly hard weather.
It is now January. Within that time lots of meetings were held nd the pigs took charge. The work on the fields was difficult.
Three days later Mollie disappeared
Mollie disappeared found talking to man who was feeding her sugar. It had looked like she was being taken care of. She looked happy. The animals then never mentioned Mollie.
A thought struck Clover.
Clover decided to check Mollie's stall and there hidden was sugar, and a bunch of ribbon with different colors.
"Mollie! Look me in the face. Do you give me your word of honour that that man was not stroking your nose?" "It isn't true!" repeated Mollie, but she could not look Clover in the face, and the next moment she took to her heels and galloped away into the field.
Mollie told Clover that it was completely false but Mollie couldn't look Clover in the eyes. Instead she galloped away.
"He didn't! I wasn't! It isn't true!"
Mollie claimed that what had happened wasn't true.
"Mollie," she said, "I have something very serious to say to you.
Clover saw that Mollie was on the border between Foxwood. Mollie was talking to a mn letting him stroke her nose.
"Mollie," she said, "I have something very serious to say to you.
Clover saw that Mollie was on the border between Foxwood. Mollie was talking to a mn letting him stroke her nose.
As winter drew on, Mollie became more and more troublesome.
Mollie started becoming very late to work and told the animals many different excuses.
There was much discussion as to what the battle should be called. In the end, it was named the Battle of the Cowshed
From then on they named the battle and decided to have some sort of tradition because of the Mr. Jones battle during the battle.
"He is dead," said Boxer sorrowfully. "I had no intention of doing that. I forgot that I was wearing iron shoes. Who will believe that I did not do this on purpose?"
This section shows he was sad and had no intention of hurting someone.
An impromptu celebration of the victory was held immediately
They would now celebrate their victory. They also had a funeral for the sheep who had been killed.
She had taken to flight as soon as the gun went off. And when the others came back from looking for her, it was to find that the stable-lad, who in fact was only stunned, had already recovered and made off.
This section shows that Mollie was in fact scared. She had fled while Mr. Jones shot his gun.
"Where is Mollie?" exclaimed somebody.
Mollie was missing.
"I have no wish to take life, not even human life," repeated Boxer, and his eyes were full of tears.
Boxer was very sad.
The only good human being is a dead one."
Snowball on the other hand believed that all humans are bad and felt nothing for the dead man.
"He is dead," said Boxer sorrowfully. "I had no intention of doing that. I forgot that I was wearing iron shoes. Who will believe that I did not do this on purpose?"
This section shows that Boxer had no intention of hurting someone and still felt terrible.
All the men were gone except one.
This section shows that Boxer did kill one but tried to help him showing they weren't heartless like some of the farmers may have been.
The men gave a shout of triumph. They saw, as they imagined, their enemies in flight, and they rushed after them in disorder. This was just what Snowball had intended. As soon as they were well inside the yard, the three horses, the three cows, and the rest of the pigs, who had been lying in ambush in the cowshed, suddenly emerged in their rear, cutting them off. Snowball now gave the signal for the charge. He himself dashed straight for Jones.
The animals weren't done yet. They then worked together to take vengeance on them after their own fashion. Soon all the farmers were long gone from the Animal Farm.
As the human beings approached the farm buildings, Snowball launched his first attack.
Snowball would lead them and order them to protect their farm. They were very prepared and worked together to try to get the farmers out of their farm but they were too strong so the animals turned and fled through the grateway.
This had long been expected, and all preparations had been made.
In this section you can see that the animals were already fully prepared and expecting this to happen.
Jones and all his men, with half a dozen others from Foxwood and Pinchfield, had entered the five-barred gate
In this section you can see Mr. Jones and lots of other farmers attempting to recapture the farm.
However, these stories were never fully believed. Rumours of a wonderful farm, where the human beings had been turned out and the animals managed their own affairs, continued to circulate in vague and distorted forms, and throughout that year a wave of rebelliousness ran through the countryside.
In this section you can see that the rumors' did not work. The story of the Rebellion and the tune of 'Bests of England' were spread everywhere. Other animals on different farms even started picking up rebellious behavior and started to sing the 'Beasts of England'.
Nevertheless, they were both thoroughly frightened by the rebellion on Animal Farm, and very anxious to prevent their own animals from learning too much about it.
In this section you can see the farmers (Frederick and Pilkington) talk badly about the Animal Farm scared their own animals would rebel as well.
Most of this time Mr. Jones had spent sitting in the taproom of the Red Lion at Willingdon, complaining to anyone who would listen of the monstrous injustice he had suffered in being turned out of his property by a pack of good-for-nothing animals.
In this section you can see what's going on with Mr. Jones. You can see that he has nothing better to do than complaining and drinking. You can also see that there are other farms.
By the late summer the news of what had happened on Animal Farm had spread across half the county.
This is the main idea of this chapter. The story about the Animal Farm had spread.
