Comment on Chapter 2

The death of Old Mayor makes the spirit of animals for getting a revolution more effectively. The ones that take the charge are the pigs, for been reconized as the most intelligent animals. The ones that take the lead on the rebellion are the pigs Napoleon, Snowball and Squealer. They make the bases of their system called Animalism. This chapter presents more clear the plot and make us expeculate how everything would turn up. 

The pigs make the animals form the farm get together and in that way join for a cause: revollution for better conditions of life, for not being treated as objects and specially for not having to serve or depend on someone else (humans). This is shown on its seven commandments of its system: Animalism. The pigs have the job of keeping the animals together for the cause and not letting question the system or even take in consideration Mr. Jones, so the pigs have to persuade them in order to maintain the animals against human beings. 

I think is in here where we can see that animals wanting to do something in instance. But there is also presented some animals that dont agreed at all with this system or are doubtful. So the meeting Old Mayor organizes on Chapter 1 changes the look of life animals had, most assume the revolutionary spirit and the task of preparing for a Rebellion. But for example Mollie, the mare, she thinks that having a ribbon, sugar and more privileges are enough for her, that she wouldnt like to drop that.  

Finally with Mr Jones out of the farm, animals had start the first step of the plan that revolution takes place. Thaey now can realize Majors vision and operate under their own ideology, because now they are in charge of the farm.

We can point out that the authour uses allegory, in order to symbolize the animals bad-treated and the abuse of power.

  1. An extensive comment! You don't need to include a summary, just your opinion of the action.

    In paragraph two you have described the reasons for the Rebellion and the founding principles of Animalism really clearly. Now analyse what the author is trying to tell us with this.

    Check your explanation for the use of allegory. The story tells us plainly of the exploitation of the animals by the humans, what situation - in 20th century human history - is this an allegory for?
