The Highlights of Animal Farm Ch. 9 and10

In chapter 9 since the pig's the book are the ones that get the special treatment in the farm they can get away with anything, and they take advantage of that such as when the pigs are being born, they can were the special green ribbons only on the Sundays. they were given a pint of beer daily and even Napoleon gets a half a gallon a day. The windmill being rebuilt the farm proclaimed Republic. then one day when Boxer was recovering from the incident that he did while working one day, a van came to take Boxer away, when the pigs came to the van they realized that the van said "Horse Slaughter". They immediately cried they knew that there was nothing that they could do. After that day Boxer was never seen again. When the pigs bought themselves a can of whiskey the farm later found out that Mr. Jones had died. Everybody has gone old, nobody remembers the day of the rebellion, then the windmill was finished.

Chapter 10. Days have passed, news spread around, especially the that Squealer can walk! soon all the pigs started to walk on all twos'. the other animals forgot that one of the rules was that nobody was to walk like a human does.then the Sheep's started to say "4 legs good, 2 legs better". all the commandments are being changed to so many different meanings like; All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.Then the pigs have the right to install a phone to the farm, they started to wear Mr. Jones' clothes, the pigs have even been smoking because of Napoleon.

At the end of the book when Napoleon got a card playing game with Mr. Pilkinton, the pigs got a glimps of the men and the men saw the pigs, the other animals saw the stares, and they couldnt tell, if which one was which, the pigs and the men were all the same.

Prapaganda

Propaganda


1- The Name Calling refers to the animal farm in many ways, such as; the way the animals call the humans behind their backs, how they are enemies and that they are no good for them. They completely shunned them away because they thought they were no good humans.

2- The Transfer from the animals to real life is their flag. They put the hoof representing the animals, the green on the flag means all the hard work that they do on the green farm, their land, and the horn representing the that they are hard working, and not afraid to fight.

3- The False Analogy, this technique is when the animal use two sets of “things” or ideas, the animals, or in this case Napoleon, they accused snowball for all the things that he did so that Napoleon could be in control. Since the animals believe all the things that he and Squealer say then they automatically believe in anything.

4- The Black and White Thinking now-a- days, people have ways of trying to get the other thinking the way the other wants you to think instead of the other way around. It is either the person who is trying to persuade you or no way because since you did’t choose the other person way you don’t exist. For example: friends, they always want you to go their way of thinking or if you don’t then you get shunned out of their life for your choosing.

5- In life someone is always going to try to convince you to do something that sometimes you may not want to door get tricked into it. For example; when somebody is on the street tyring to get people to support what they selling or "donating" and they look like they wont do the kind of thing like stealing your money, but in reality they would, they would go behind your back stealing your money for their own personal sake . This has common thing has happened to my mother, my father, sometimes me, and a lot of other people. Unfortunately these incidents keep happening, they the people just don't learn that its little things like this that hurts others and the way we live, and can hurt us in so many ways that its unfair.
