SUMMING-UP ACTIVITIES WORKING ON THE TEXT ▢ About three months later, the animals revolted against Mr Jones and took possession of the farm. The rebellion was led by the pigs, who were the most intelligent animals on the farm. From the day of Snowball’s expulsion, Napoleon became the real dictator of the farm. If someone didn’t agree with him, they were attacked and killed by his dogs; if something didn’t work, like the building of the windmill, it was all Snowball’s fault. Shortly after the rebellion, among the pigs there was tension because Snowball, an inventive and vivacious pig, wanted to build a windmill but Napoleon, a big and fierce-looking pig, disagreed and said that all Snowball’s plans were useless. ▢ In the end, they became like human beings. They started to walk on their hind legs and they changed the old maxim to a new one: “Four legs good, two legs better”. Nothing had changed and the rebellion had been useless. ▢ Meanwhile, Mr Jones wanted to take back the farm but the animals won the Battle of the Cowshed and he had to run away. ▢ Napoleon had no pity on anyone. When Boxer, the strongest horse on the farm, lost his power because of his old age, Napoleon led him to the slaughterhouse. Now Napoleon and the pigs were like Mr Jones: they exploited the other animals, took advantage of the foolishness of most animals and came into contact with human beings for business although they had established it was forbidden. ▢ After the battle, Napoleon arrived with nine big and ferocious dogs. He incited them against Snowball who had to run away. The animals of Manor Farm lived in cruel conditions under Mr Jones, a bad and often drunken man. One day, Old Major, an old pig, called a meeting of all the animals and told them about a dream he had had and incited them to rebel against Man. ▢ The purpose of the rebellion was to create a fair and equal society made up of only animals, based on seven commandments that could be summed up with the maxim: “Four legs good, two legs bad”. 1 Summary.
