threshed, a flight of pigeons came whirling through the air and alighted in the yard of
Animal Farm in the wildest excitement. Jones and all his men, with half a dozen others
from Foxwood and Pinchfield, had entered the five-barred gate and were coming up the
cart-track that led to the farm. They were all carrying sticks, except Jones, who was
marching ahead with a gun in his hands. Obviously they were going to attempt the
recapture of the farm.

This is important because the humans try to take the farm back, so the animals have to defend themselves. ]]> 2017-09-07 18:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tavariasmith/b8aiuix1sjig/wish/185658121 tavariasmith https://padlet.com/tavariasmith/b8aiuix1sjig/wish/185659710 The animals had now reassembled in the wildest excitement, each recounting his own
exploits in the battle at the top of his voice. An impromptu celebration of the victory was
held immediately. The flag was run up and 'Beasts of England' was sung a number of
times, then the sheep who had been killed was given a solemn funeral, a hawthorn bush
being planted on her grave. At the graveside Snowball made a little speech, emphasising
the need for all animals to be ready to die for Animal Farm if need be.

This is important because they won the battle and kept the farm, with only one casualty.

Class," which was conferred there and then on Snowball and Boxer. It consisted of a
brass medal (they were really some old horse-brasses which had been found in the harness-room), to be worn on Sundays and holidays. There was also "Animal Hero,
Second Class," which was conferred posthumously on the dead sheep.

We said that this was important because with them giving people medals that makes them unequal. ]]> 2017-09-07 18:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tavariasmith/b8aiuix1sjig/wish/185660045
