Chapter 11 Animal Farm
Animal Farm Ch. 11 After a few hours when all of the animals were in a deep sleep, Napoleon walked down to the shed with Pilkington to observe Napoleon’s livestock. At this point, Napoleon and all of the farmers were very drunk off of Napoleon’s homemade whiskey. Little did they know that Squealer wasn’t drunk at all and had a plan to kill Napoleon for power. Squealer had a big mouth, so he had to tell the animals, Squealer had persuaded the animals to hate Napoleon, and that he himself was going to make the farm a better place. The animals were cheering for squealer; this commotion resulted in Pilkington snooping into the barn. “What are you doing Squealer?” said Pilkington in an annoyed tone of voice. Squealer had thought that Pilkington …show more content…

Of course, Squealer didn’t want change, he just wanted more control. Pilkington had told Napoleon what had happened and why he did it, so Napoleon made Pilkington his right hand man. The farm was never the same, all the animals had fled to another farm, and Napoleon and Pilkington had both died of alcohol poisoning. After news that Napoleon had died, Snowball had returned to the farm to save the animals and lead them to a new life of luxury and less work for them. Snowball had been hiding on the farm all along, disguised as a black pig, watching all the terror. Moses tracked down the animals and told them the wonderful news of Snowballs return. All the animals came back and rebuilt the farm. There were many additions to the farm; Clover had conceived a colt before Boxer was shipped off to his fate. Snowball told the young colt about his father’s legacy to the rebellion and which came them the freedom they strived for many years. The farm was in the best it has ever been in, since its establishment. The farm’s new moto was simple, “All animals are equal, no matter what.” Animalism was no long a principle to animals anymore; it was more of a

    Okay. In the book The Animal Farm Squealer, the pig, shows some extremely complex characteristics. His ability to persuade the animals to do or believe anything is incredible. Squealer got even the animals to believe that Napoleon was a good leader, which we all know is not true, for multiple years. I believe Orwell created Squealer to get us to understand how manipulated the people of Russia were, in these times. Orwell writes “…Squealer would talk with tears rolling down his cheeks… “, showing squealer has knowledge of literary devices and how to use them (Orwell100). Obviously Squealer is cunning and full of himself knowing that he is smarter than the other animals.…

    As I began reading Chapter 8, I thought that animals are going to be the victims of this chapter. However, as I went over each page, it turned out that out of all living creatures entering the slaughterhouse, humans are treated in the most barbaric and inhuman way. I decided to write about this chapter because it brings up the issue of how privileged people in America use their power and literally turn people without those privileges into slaves. Another reason is the fact that I honestly wasn’t aware of terrifying working conditions at the slaughter houses, which is another issue of keeping it away from media. For companies such as IBP, the fast speed of the assembly line is more important than what it consumes. Slaughter house workers make…

    He tries to use logic when saying that the animals in charge that are doing none of the work, but all the thinking for the farm, need more food than those working hard and starving. The reasoning is not really a good reason for what Napoleon and him are wanting to do, but the animals on the farm don't know any better, they aren't educated. So, in the end, all the animals always believe what ever Napoleon has to say, or Squealer in that matter. They believe them because everything they are saying seem to make sense to them, when in reality, none of it would actually make sense to an educated person. He also uses pathos in also all…

    The others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white” (2.2). In general, Orwell produces an honest introduction of Squealer’s oral abilities. Throughout the book, his adept oral skills not only penetrate, but alter the accusations, and psychology of the other animals, as indicated by the words“he could turn black into white.” Squealer’s name derives from his primary method of vocalization, squealing, similar to Orwell’s portrayal of a having “a shrill voice” and his tendency to spray nonsense into his opposing audience. As a mouthpiece of Napoleon’s regime, Squealer swiftly rises to power, alongside Napoleon, because of his quick mind, and his nimble…

    One of the key tactics that Napoleon used was manipulation of the animals. He manipulates by making his lies believable. He uses Squealer as his weapon of cunningness to persuade the animals so that they don’t question his doings. As it is described in the book the animals on the farm are not quite as bright as the pigs. Squealer uses this to his advantage because they will believe or do anything that the pigs tell them to do, thinking it’s correct because the pigs say so.…

    In George Orwell's Animal Farm, power and control of the farm shifts from Mr. Jones to Snowball and from Snowball to Napoleon. Each, no matter how well their leadership, was corrupted by power in some way as compared to Russian leaders of the time. The most corrupt, Napoleon, uses several methods of gaining more power and luxury.<br><br>Like Stalin, Napoleon uses a Propaganda Department to make himself look good. The one responsible for Napoleon's looking good and propaganda is Squealer. With a name like Squealer he better be damn good using his wits to Napoleon's and the pigs' advantage. In the seventh chapter, Squealer responds to Boxer's question of whether Snowball fought bravely at the Battle of the Cowshed by making Snowball look deceiving.…

    Satire In Animal Farm

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Because of his cleverness and superior vocabulary, Squealer attracts many farm animals, who begin to trust him and allow him to brainwash them without questioning. For instance, Squealer convinces the farm animals that apples and milk should be only consumed by the pigs because the regular animals are replaceable. On the contrary, the pigs, who are the "brain workers" are the foundation of the well-being of all animals on the farm, and without the pigs, Mr. Jones, the former owner of the farm, would come back. This simple act instills low self-esteem in the animals who do not understand their power on the farm. Since the uneducated animals forgot their lifestyle when Mr. Jones owned them, Squealer reads false statistics with incorrect information to make the animals believe that they have larger rations and an improved lifestyle. Exploiting the trust the animals have given him, Squealer modifies the original seven commandments to benefit the pigs, but when questioned, claims the memories of the animals were at fault. As a leader, he alters history for Napolean's benefit. In the Battle of the Cowshed, a battle in which Mr. Jones tried to regain control of the farm again, Squealer changes the story by stating Snowball, or Trotsky, allied with Mr. Jones, and Napolean fought the humans. However, this…

    The first thing that Squealer does to show self-preservation is that he supports everything thing Napoleon says or does. Squealer shows his support to Napoleon because he is in a position of power, which means Napoleon would be able to protect Squealer and reward him by allowing him to sleep in the house and take over supervising the other animals. When most of the food collected from the harvest is given to the pigs and dogs, most of the animals become upset and to ease the chaos Squealer says, “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually…
