 * 1) Summary :

In chapter 6, Napoleon (Stalin) takes control of the soviet community, and seizes control over the peasants and the citizens. Napoleon also opposes to Trotsky's ideas and finally overpowers Snowball (Leon Trotsky). In addition, Napoleon gives a slight surprise to the other animals by giving them the right to decide important matters in the community. The animals look confused for a short while, while Squealor (propaganda) further convinces the citizens (different animals in the farm) to look up to Stalin and describes that Stalin has 'sacrificed' himself for the majority of the others (animals in the farm). The animals do not take this subject into matter any further, and agrees to let Stalin take control.

2. allegorical connections (What is the 'below the surface meaning?)

- The animals : In this chapter, the animals are not only seen working individually, but they are motivated to complete their tasks as a team and maintain the sturdy spirit just like a family. The animals are seen working really hard to achieve their goals as soon as they can. They get to work and work long hours without slacking off.

Snowball: Snowball is shown as representing Trotsky in the section. Just like in the Russian revolution, Trotsky was admired for his strong speeches that he won previously to win his way up trough the ranks- convincing a large portion of the population. However, he is

Squealor: Constantly tries to win over Snowball alongside Napoleon. Squealor is seen over and over again in this section trying to monopolize Napoleons rule and tries seal it in stone, leaving Snowball to dust.

Napoleon= Napoleon is seen taking bigger challenges in this section. In order for his role/ importance to increase, he tries to seize complete control to control Russia.

Napoleon vs Snowball: The on-going conflict illustrates a big picture of determination for both of these powerful leaders. But eventually, as Napoleon wins, he demonstrates how he possesses more strengths (powers) than Snowball to how he is favored to be the leader in-spite of Snowballs effort.

Ex. “Do you know the enemy who has come in in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!” (82)

3. Symbols:

-Windmill = The windmill demonstrates the five-year plan of Stalin (Napoleon). Workers are put to hard work each day to complete this task.

“The animals toiled harder than ever, thinking it well worth while to plod to and fro all day with blocks of stone if by doing so they could raise the walls another foot” (80,81)

- The wind, collapse of the flagstaff and the elm tree: “November came, with raging south-west winds. Building had to stop because it was now too wet to mix the cement...” (81) This represents the collapse of the hard work under the rule of Stalin.

4. Satire Ridicule/ Hyperbole: “Do you know who is responsible for all this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!” (82)- criticizes snowball and leads a one way statement.

Ridicule: “You have heard then, comrades,” he said, “that we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse?” (80) - Pigs suddenly rise up a level into a working class rather than the previous- poor useless animals who had no brains.

Ridicule: “Pigs would get up an hour later in the mornings than the other animals, no complaint was made about that either” (80) - The pigs are now granted more comfort than the other animals suddenly after Stalin’s takeover.

Irony: “ There would be no need for any of the animals to come in contact with human beings...” (77) - But Mr.Whymper visits the farm quite frequently later on pg.77 and for the rest of the book. - The animals do interact with humans once a while, or quite frequently although it does not stir conflict.

Hyperbole: “ I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right.” (75) - Propaganda’s reveal that Napoleon (Stalin) is at a perfect level in each situation, but he is proven that he is not later on. 5. In this chapter, the pigs are given an increased amount of freedom and leisure. The pigs begin to see themselves rise as well as gain and increased amount of power, that goes in the right desired way in which the pigs wanted before. The satire(s) explained above demonstrate how the pigs are now more free in terms of time- labour and how they do not restrain themselves from expressing what they need to express, openly expressing their opinions all the way throughout the book. They seek comfort everywhere they go. =6~10 is Taeyoon's work.= = = 6. Propaganda/Double Speak pg 75 pg 77
 * Boxer’s repetitious phrases:
 * “Napoleon is always right.”
 * “I will work harder.”
 * The two quotes show the powerful influence Napoleon’s reign has over the farm animals. Napoleon continues to exert force on the animals and sometimes makes puzzling decisions such as the building of the windmill (originally Snowball’s). With the several justifications he has for the animals, backed with Squealer’s mysterious capability of convincing and reassuring confused animals, Napoleon is indeed always right. Even such important figures such as Boxer is brainwashed by Squealer and his constant chat of propaganda.
 * “Four legs good, two legs bad!”
 * by the brainless sheep
 * reinforces the position of Napoleon at all times
 * gets him out of the majority of dead ends he reaches in trying to justify his decisions
 * ex. when pigs moved into the farmhouse

7. Twisting of Logic pg 76 77 pg 79 80
 * never to have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money = thought by animals as things mentioned before
 * contradicted that of Napoleon’s decision to access resources of the outside world
 * again with the brilliant talking of Squealer, animals are settled, reassured that it was an error in their thoughts, a pure creation of their imagination - nothing more
 * sleeping in the beds of the farmhouse
 * thing that they had banned? = to the animals
 * once again Squealer saves the day by explaining specifically how the Commandments were based on the sheets, human inventions, not the actual beds, therefore justifying that pigs were allowed to occupy the farmhouse
 * You don’t want Jones back do you?
 * evidently, strong use of propaganda

8. Abuse of Power pg 82 pg 76 9. Questions
 * Napoleon able to convince everyone that the only reason the windmill broke down was because of Snowball
 * windmill = took a whole year of time and tedious effort
 * directs all the blame towards him because he doesn’t want to deal with the complaints and questions thrown at him
 * benefit of being a major figure among the inferior beings or animals
 * use of dogs to silence four, somewhat intelligent pigs that question Napoleon’s unintelligent decisions
 * Was there actually someone that knocked down the prized windmill?
 * if yes, who?
 * if no, then what?


 * What is the meaning of the pig footprints leading out of the opening in the hedge?
 * How does Napoleon change throughout the story?
 * How does he take a bigger role in the society, what changes and etc...
 * Would the animals seriously concede to the will of Napoleon? to restart the windmill from scratch without a moment’s hesitation or rest???
 * In previous chapters, it said that Snowball barely escaped from his death (dogs), is he still alive and well in the farm somewhere? Is he still alive and back?
