chapter+3

CHAPTER 3 =Summary: = = Many of the animals in this book have a deeper meaning in history. Mollie, Boxer, Clover, and squealer have a deeper parallel to the people and rulers in history at the time. There is also many parallels between Snowball and Napoleon with Stalin and Trotsky. Karl Marx's idea of communism is also represented greatly when the animals try to all work in unity. =

= Parallel's Between Characters and History: = = Boxer and Clover: = ==Listened to anything the pigs told them to do. This all relates to the people who were tricked by Stalin becuase he was "communist." Stalin made the entire nation his "accomplice" and made sure the enemies were shot. Not until years later are people aware of what Stalin was really doing.== = Mollie: = ==Mollie does not want much to do with the other animals on the farm much like the Russians who cared mostly about only themselves and fled from Russia. Most of these people were of upper class who fled durring the 1917 revolution. Many of these people fled to Western Europe, Continential Europe, "20,000 made their way to the United States, 40,000 to Canada, 15,000 to the British Isles, and 3,000 to South America."== = Squealer: = ==Has a bigger mouth and is the one sent to explain to the animals about the milk and apples like the propoganda department for Lenin's government. The Soviet party especially used their propoganda techniques to convince the people Stalin was a great man. He used falsification of historic material to make himself look as though he was the hero, creator, and father of his nation. After Napoleon's speech about the milk and apples Squealer begins to confuse the other animals by saying the pigs need the apples and milk and if they do not have it the farm will fail and Mr. Jones will be back. This is much like Vyacheslav Molotov's Russian paper Pravada. Vyacheslav Molotov's was the editor for the Provada paper and portrayed communism theories and interpretation's rather than reality. The Pravada was feeding the people "scum." They made the people believe the communist leaders holding power are the best, "there are evil people who want to seize power and there are good people who hold power." This paper made the people believe the most intelligent people possible were in power and were right.==

Snowball and Napoleon:
= In Chapter 3 the reader can start to see a definite disagreement between Snowball and Napoleon. This is a parallel to two characters found in History, Stalin and Trotsky. Trotsky is known to be a fast thinking, and also known to give intelligent speeches, which are exact characteristics found in Snowball. Stalin on the other hand was soft spoken, quite, and made wise moves. This directly relates to Napoleon, he opposes the ideas of Snowball but is not forward with his opinions. We can see that he is being sneaky with the puppies, developing some wise plan. After the death of Lenin, Trotsky started gaining support by making lots of speeches, while Stalin was scheming plots against his opponent. The death of Major left room for someone else to come to power. Snowball takes the place of Trotsky by leading the Farm by using swift powerful speeches. Napoleon opposes Snowball but instead of speaking out he is conniving, I believe his intentions will become more clear with the upcoming chapters. (Stalin) = = Karl Marx"s Communism and The Farm =

Communism is the idea that the working class is all even and that everyone is on the same level. This same idea is used on the Farm, everyone works together for the overall benefit of the group.
= ﻿ Quotes: = = "Four legs good, two legs bad." (50) = =In Animal Farm the Pigs represent the elite upper class. They are the most educated animals on the farm, they can read and write. They are superior to the other animals because of their wit. Snowball notices that some animals on the farm like the sheep, hens, and ducks are unable to learn the 7 commandments. Snowball decides to reduce the commandments to “Four legs good, two legs bad”. He believes this covers the “essential principle of Animalism” (50). The birds try to argue with Snowball, they declare that they fit under the two leg portion of the maxim. The birds could not understand Snowball’s logic behind his answer to their questioning. This quotes shows that by abusing the language barrier between the different levels of literacy in the Animal Farm the Pigs will be able to use propaganda to get their way. =

=** "Surely, Comrades, surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?" (52) **= = Once the animals figure out where the milk and apples have gone there is obvious confusion because the animals assumed that everything on the farm is to be shared. Snowball is quick to defend the reasoning behind why the milk and apples must go to the Pigs. The threatened the animals saying Jones would come back without the leadership of the pigs and that the pigs are necessary to the running of the farm. This threat is not valid though, they are using this as a cover for their own self interest and to benefit themselves alone. = =** "I will work harder!"(29) **= =Boxer's motto represents the propaganda that Lenin put out to inspire the lower class. Since the lower class did not accept the rule of Czar, Lenin inspires the lower class to work harder with the intentions that they will never return the same postion Czar had them in. Lenin wanted to convince the workers that the Bolshevik policy was okay.= == = = = Speeches: = = Mystery of the milk and apples... = ==**By the end of chapter 4 the pigs give a speech on how they should have the milk and apples. Due to the fact that they need it to have good health and intellegence. What they really are doing is assuring that no one can come into power, or take over power. By taking the milk and apples that they know helps with health and brain development, the pigs are leaving no room for any of the other animals to have that same food which can lead to better health and brain development. Which could also lead to other animals gaining more knowledge of what the pigs are really about. The other animals are oblivious to what the pigs are doing because the pigs claim "It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples."(36) The pigs are also able to get their way of having all the milk and apples by saying that with out them, they would fail there duty and Mr. Jones would come back. In the larger view the by allowing all the apples and milk to the pigs they are getting their way by holding all the other animals back from seeing their true colors.**==
