The movie Animal Farm took place in a parallel world where animals can freely decide

on their own. It was a story that accentuated the toil of an entire race and its odyssey
towards achieving empowerment, control, and triumph.
We often underestimate animals as we see ourselves intellectually superior to them
because we can speak and comprehend while they cannot. However, this movie proved
that it doesnt take Einsteinian brain cells to achieve greater heights. Rather, it is unity,
technique, and a tad of connivance at instances that makes one society to progress.
So the story started at the Manor Farm. There was a grumpy old farmer named Mr.
Jones who managed the farm. Wicked was an understatement of the way he treated
animals. His cruelty was manifested in his frequent violent behavior towards his animals
which practically were the reasons why he was still surviving.
However, little did he know that the animals he always mistreated were way smarter
than how he had thought of these.
Old Major, one old folk in the Manor Farm, formed what could be considered as a
coalition driven to overthrow Mr. Jones and probably, the entire human race as well.
He summoned all the animals and asserted to them his message that all human beings
were cruel, and it was just right for them to pay the price of retaliation.
He even taught the animals a song titled Beasts of England for them to wear as their
official mantra. However, the revolutionary Old Major died.
Lucky for the animals, Snowball and Napoleon took over of the planned propaganda of
the departed Major. They revolted against Mr. Jones which they eventually succeeded
over.
After that, the old Manor Farm had its new name: the Animal Farm.
Napoleon and Snowball somehow made a new society in the said farm where animals
are the main inhabitants. They even made a credo which took form in their Seven
Commandments: whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, whatever goes with four
legs, or has wings, is a friend, no animal shall wear clothes, no animal shall sleep in a

bed, no animal shall drink alcohol, no animal shall kill any other animal, and all animals
are equal.
The Animal Farm went all smoothly. There was harmony among the residents. Equitable
division of labor was evident. And there was a system too. Snowball taught literacy
while Napoleon taught Animalism.
When the farm was growing, some group of men tried to attack the farm for the hopes
of recapturing it. However, they would eventually fail as Snowball, the wily leader of the
pack, studied Julius Caesar and his battles and applied all he learned to repel the
humans.
Successful was Snowball. And because of his triumph in the Battle of the Cowshed, he
rose to fame and became honored as the leader of the Animal Farm. Of course, when
one gains power, a jealous soul would always come out. This time it was from
Napoleon.
Napoleon wanted to get rid of Snowball to step into authority and power. He sent out his
dogs to shoo Snowball, and he succeeded. He was the new leader, and he was
honored for he stole the progressive ideas of Snowball.
When in power, Napoleon reformed the pre-existing government of the Animal Farm.
One of the notable changes was the overworking of the animals which was not present
during Snowballs incumbency. The animals grew tired and weary, but Napoleon
promised of a better life a promise which was essentially a rhetoric.
The animals were busy doing the windmill which was originally from Snowball. When
the windmill fell down, Napoleon made the animals believed that it was Snowballs fault,
and he was trying to sabotage the whole farm. He also continued discrediting Snowball,
saying that he was the real leader of the Battle of the Cowshed and accusing Snowball
as Mr. Jones ally. Despite how obvious his lies were, Napoleon had the trust of the
animals.
Meanwhile, another human tried to desolate the Animal Farm. It was Mr. Frederick. The
animals managed to win, but not without a cost. Boxer was one. Despite that, he

continued to work for the windmill and eventually collapsed. A wagon was used to
rescue Boxer, but Benjamin refused to believe that the care for Boxer was authentic.
Squealer, Napoleons right arm, had all the drama as he told everyone that everything
was done to salvage Boxer, but he still died.
Time passed by. The windmill was finally finished, but it was not what Snowball initially
planned to. Also, many animals had already died with some of them having participation
in the Battle of the Cowshed alongside Snowball.
Napoleon became worse. He actually rephrased all the Seven Commandments of
Animalism to one sentence: All animals are equal but some animals are more equal
than others. At that time, the cruelty of Napoleon resembled that of Mr. Jones the
struggle they all fought for.
