On this chapter Napoleon and Snowball uses the pigeons as weapons of telling the animals of other farms about the rebellion. So it can be taked as a spread of the system Animalism. Because withouth all the force of all animals from other farms, rebellion on Manor Farm wouldnt be significant, the main purpose is to spread the word. It can be compared to the concept of Karl Marx, that it need to be spread into a global scale for it to achieve their goals.
Is on this chapter that we can see the really intentions of animals: war, they want to fight. They begin planning some strategies, Snowball is the one that handles this part of the plan. He demostrates to take control of the situation. Even humans came to attack and get out the animals form the power, but they couldnt because they were organized and together. I am personally surprised animals won the fight, I really tough men were more prepare, but we could appreciate the convincement of animals for mantaining the power. After the fight is won by the animals, they make it like a sacred day, that need to be remembered. And the one that fought are condecorated, I like that from the animals they recognize the ones that sacrified their lifes for them.
Much more thoughtful comments on chapters 3 and 4, well done. Great recognition of the concepts of Karl Marx in the ideas of Animalism.
ResponderEliminarIs there any specific event or situation that Orwell might be trying to describe here? How do you think the author feels about the animals' victory? Are there any further clues at this point to indicate what might happen next on Animal Farm?
In your opinion, why is this battle important for the progress of the animals? In what way might it make things better or worse for them?
Language notes: You have use the passive voice well in parts, but be careful - "it can be taked" - check the past participle of the verb 'take'
"wouldnt" ALWAYS show contractions with an apostrophe - wouldn't
