SL Text 37: When The Hens Heard This, They Raised A Terrible Outcry
SL Text 37:
When the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry.

TL Text 37:
وحين سمعت الدجاحات ذلك أطلقت صرخة عالية مريعة (مزرعة الحيوانات، الفصل السابع، ص 127).

In the example (37), one Sunday morning Squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. Napoleon had accepted, through Whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. The price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. After learning that they must surrender their eggs, the hens stage a demonstration that only ends when they can no longer live without the rations that Napoleon had denied them. Nine hens die as a result of the protest.

TL Text 40:
كانت شقيقتي -السيدة "جوجارجيري"- تكبرني بأكثر من عشرين عاما. وكان لها صيت في البلدة التي نسكن فيها بين جيراننا، حيث كان الجميع يعرف أنها ربتني على يديها. وكنت أحاول مع نفسي دائما أن أتوصل الى معنى هذا المصطلح –" على يديها"- وكنت على دراية تامة كم أن لها يدين ثقيلتين وغليظتين. (الامال العظيمة الفصل الثاني، ص 25-26).
According to example 5 above, Mrs. Joe took care of her little brother Pip; she also took him in and raised him instead of allowing him to be sent to the charity institution, which would have been his destination if she had not agreed to take him in when their parents died. She neither allowed him to be raised as an orphan nor permitted him to run wild. This gave Mrs. Joe a great reputation because she brought him up "by hand." However, "by hand" refers to Mrs Joe's using her hand corporally against the kids; Mrs. Joe brought up Pip with the aid of lavish corporal punishment, administered by slaps and cuffs rather than with the use of a cane, slipper or belt. In other words, he was physically abused by

    Brother had motivation for the actions he made regarding Doodle. Having a brother, someone play and run around with, was a thought that had excited him for some time, but he got a brother who would probably never be able to do these things with him. Brother remembered, “It was bad enough having an invalid brother, but having one who was possibly not all there was unbearable, so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow,” (190). This was unbearable for Brother because it would be too demeaning to have a mentally challenged brother. Even though Doodle ended up being “all there”, he was still very high maintenance. Although Doodle showed no signs of walking, he still wanted to be with his brother all the time. Brother says, “To discourage his coming with me, I’d run him with me across the ends of the cotton rows and careen him around corners on two wheels,” (190). Brother also talked about accidentally tipping his brother over in his go-cart, but he showed no signs of remorse. Brother finally got tired of lugging Doodle around everywhere, so he decided to teach him how to walk. He was embarrassed to have a 5 year old brother who could not walk. When he showed his family this miraculous accomplishment, they all cried and hugged him, but Brother felt undeserving. He explained, “They did not know that I did it for myself; that pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all of their voices, and Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother,”(192).…

    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.
