The Animals rename Manor Farm to Animal Farm and devote their efforts to accomplishing Old Major's vision. Boxer, a strong, muscular horse particularly devotes himself to helping the cause by using his great strength to work hard for the betterment of the community. A pig named Snowball starts to teach the "dumber" animals how to read, while another pig named Napoleon took some young puppies to teach them about Animalism. Mr. Jones does try to retake his farm, but is defeated. During the battle the Animals take Mr. Jones' gun as a trophy for the victory.

Snowball and Napoleon struggled to agree on any topic while both of them wanted the power and influence that could of been had over the animals. Later, Snowball developed the idea of an electric producing windmill and gives a passionate speech to the rest of the animals supporting his idea. Napoleon strongly disagreed with the windmill idea, and after his short response Napoleon calls the dogs he was raising and they chase Snowball out from the farm. After Snowball's expulsion, Napoleon changes his mind about the windmill and the animals, especially Boxer, devote their efforts to building the windmill. One day the windmill was destroyed, and Napoleon used this to blame Snowball and create more skepticism over Snowball's character. This event sparks Napoleon's massacre of animals that supposedly help Snowball with his plan. The mass killing sparks fear into the animals and created an environment that was built on "Napoleon is always right." During the next few days we see Napoleon acting more like a human by sleeping in beds, drinking alcohol, and negotiation with other farmers, which were all against the seven commandments that were established during the early stages of Animal Farm. The animals are confused about Napoleon's actions, but Squealer always seems to persuade the animals that Napoleon's actions are justified.

While the animals tried to rebuild the windmill it was attacked and demolished by another farmer. Boxer injuries weaken his strength, and while working on the windmill for the third time he falls down. Boxer is taken to a "hospital" and peacefully dies there, at least that was the lies Squealer told the animals. What actually happened was Boxer was taken to a glue maker in return for money that Napoleon used to buy alcohol.

After Boxer's death, years pass until we hear about Animal Farm. New generations are born and the old teach them the principles of Animal Farm. The pigs become more like humans by walking on their hind legs, carrying whips, and wearing clothes, The seven commandments are completely disregarded and condensed to one new commandment, "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The book ends with Napoleon talking with the other farmers and the animals not being able to tell the pigs apart from the human beings.

Text Evidence -

"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." (Orwell, 27)

This quote is showing how the irrational and cruel principles established by a government can lead to terrible outcomes, in this case the loss of life for reading a book.

These lyrics are kind of ironic and perfect for Animal Farm. In the book Napoleon takes some puppies to train and brainwash becoming killers. The dogs are used as a fear tactic to get others to comply and follow Napoleon. The best comparison between the lyrics and the books is when Napoleon lets the dogs out and Snowball is chased from the farm. This moment is a huge power shift from one pig to the next.

A ruler who oppresses the poor
    is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.

This verse explains that when a leader of higher authority treats those under him or the poor people with wrong intentions or disrespect then it is like basically killing them. This verse can be applied to how both governments in Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451 treated their people. The were corrupt, self-centered, and power-focused, leading to the oppression and deaths of the populations.
