The Gullibility of the working class
“Never mind the milk, comrades!” cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. “That will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting.” (Farm, 16)

The Corruption of Socialist Ideals/ The Division of Social Class
So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared. (Farm, 17)

Gullibility of working class: “The animals were not certain what the words meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happen to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questioning.” (Thirty eight) vetting Mataram

 Language as power: “On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator she’d had actually been stolen from among Napoleon’s papers.” (Thirty eight)

The Corruption of Socialist Ideals: “No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves . But sometimes you might make the wrong decision, comrades and then where should we be?” (Thirty six)

Division of social class: “It had come to be accepted that the pigs, who were manifestly cleverer than the other animals, should decide all questions of farm policy, though their decisions had to be ratified by majority vote.”]]> 2017-11-21 14:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisquotes/hy1j940te44m/wish/209099906 Chapter 6 https://padlet.com/chrisquotes/hy1j940te44m/wish/209100441 William, Jason, Lilian and Navneet

The gullibility of the working class:
"Squealer made a round the farm and set the animals' minds at rest. He assured them that the resolution against engaging in trade and using money had never been passed, or even suggested. It was pure imagination.." ( Orwell 42)

Division of Social Class:
" That the pigs, who were the brains of the farm, should have a quiet place for work in. It was also more suited to the dignity of the leader." ( Orwell 44)

Language as power:
“ do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!”... “Snowball has done this thing! In sheer malignity, thinking to set back our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion, this traitor has crept here under cover of night and destroyed our work of nearly a year. Comrades, here and now I pronounce the death sentence upon Snowball...” (Orwell 46)

Corruption of Socialist Ideals:
" Napoleon was about to enter into a definite business agreement with Mr Pilkington of Foxwood or with Mr Frederick of Pinchfield" ( Orwell 43)

The Division of Social Class:

"Most of the time Mr Jones had spent sitting in the taproom of the Red Lion at Wellington , complaining to anyone who would listen of the monstrous injustice he had suffered in being turned out of his property by a pack of good-for-nothing animals"( Farm, 24)

Language as power :
"When time passed and the animal had evidently not starved to death, Frederick and Pilkington Changed their tune and began to talk of the terrible wickedness that now flourished on animal farm. It was given out that the animals there practised cannibalism, tortured one another with red- hot horseshoes and their females in common. This wasn't what came of rebelling against the laws of nature, Frederick and Pilkignton said. However, these stories were never fully believed".(Farm, 25)

The corruption of Socialist:
"No sentimentality, Comrade! Crossbar Snowball, from whose wound may the blood was still dripping. War is war. The only good human being is a dead one " (Farm, 28)

The Gullisibility of the working class:
"There was much discussion as to what the battle should be called. In the end it was name de the battle of the Cowshed, since that was where the ambush had been sprung". ( Farm, 28)

"You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milks and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apple (proved by science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brain-workers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us.  Day and Night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed our duty? Jones would come back! Surely, comrades" cried squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, "surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?" (Animal Farm, 52)
Language as power:”Mollie, it was true, was mot good at getting up I’m the mornings, and had a way of leaving work early on the ground that there was a stone in her hoof. And the behavior of the cat was somewhat particular. It was soon noticed that when there was work to be done the cat could never be found. She would vanish for hours on end, and then reappear at meal-times, or in the evening after work was over, as nothing had happened. But she always made such excellent excuses, and purred so affectionately, that it was not to believe in her good intentions.” (Animal Farm, 19)

The gullibility of the working class
"The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised th others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership” (17)
Language as power
“The birds did not understand Snowball’s long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the the humbler animals set to work to learnthe  new maxim by heart. FOUR LEGS ...... (22)

Division of social class
“But the pigs were so clever that they could think of a way round every difficulty. As for the horses, they knew every inch of the field, and in fact understood the business of mowing and raking far better than Jones and his men had ever done. The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership.”(17)

No animal must ever live in a house, or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade. All the habit is of man is evil. And above all, no animal must ever tyrannical over his own kind. (Farm, 6)

The corruption of Socialist Ideals:

Unfortunately the uproar awoke Mr. jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard. He seized the gun which always stood in a corner of husband bedroom, and let fly a charge of number 6 shot into the darkness. The pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly. Everyone fled to husband own sleeping-place. The birds jumped into their perched, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment. (Farm, 9)

Language as Power:

Man is the only creature that consumed without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull to the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is the lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself. Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilises it, and yet there is not one of us that owns more than his bare skin. (Farm, 4)

The Gullibility of the Working Class:

No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. No animal in England is free. The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth. (Farm, 3)]]> 2017-11-21 14:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisquotes/hy1j940te44m/wish/209114838
