Summary:
The begging of chapter four quickly reveals to me that napoleon and snowball are developing a communist government. I also dont get if the animals can talk to humans. And if Old Major told them that they should rise up against the farmers and humans , why are they interracting with humans. Like i said before napoleon and snowball wont rule over the farm together because like in many moveies and books one person always wants te power for themselves.Or there would be a disagreement between the two power rulers.
Quote:
"As the human beings apporached the farm buildings, snowball launched his first attack."
Reaction:
After reading the quote I was suprised that they attacked the farmers. I thought that they would have not gone through with the plan of taking over the farm. When they first started the rebellion i thought wow these animals are going to die because humans have guns and are much bigger then pigs,rats,chickens,dogs and ducks. This exeplifies that the idea of communism and its followers are very strong.

Animal Farm 20-40
Summary:
The first few pages of chapter three begins leading into the life of the main characters Snowball and Napoleon. We also learn that in the Farm the animals with the most power are the Pigs, then after the pigs its the horses Boxer and Clover. I think its ironic that the pigs are the animals with the most power because pigs are the animals that are slaughtered the most more then horses and any other animal that is mentioned in the book. From the start of the third chapter it was obvious that snowball and napoleon wont agree or stay as close as they are now.
Quote:
"The Seven Commandments"(Orwell 33)
Reaction:
After reading the seven commandments that were made by the pigs I thought this is ironic. I think that it was ironic because the pig Old Major told them that they shoudl rise against the humans and not do what they do. Then the pigs make commandments like what humans did a long time ago in the bible eventhough the commandments are telling them that they can not do what humans do.

Animal Farm pages 1-20
SUMMARY:
The begginig of the book starts of telling us the ideas of Old Major, who is the wisest of the pigs. At the beggining we can already tell that the end is coming near for Old Major because he is telling the farm how they should live there lives later on after he dies. He tells them the dream that he has about how the animals will rise against the tyranny of man. I as a reader also understand that there is a power struggle between the pigs.
Quote:
"The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth."(Orwell 18)
Reaction:
After reading this quote I immediatley thought of a communist government. With countriess that have a communist government the people that live under the government feel as if they are slaves and live miserable because there is a greater force that controls there every move, like animals which are the main characters of this book. The people treatiing the animals like slaves is the government and the people being mistreated and rights violated are the animals.
