Laws Are Made t o be Changed
What is a l aw? A l aw is somet hing

communit y or home but wherever
t here is a l aw, t here is someone

very animal s who creat ed t hem,
t he aut horit ies. They are t hen

excess of power l eads t hem t o
change t he f arm mot t o, begin t o
behave l ike humans and change
t he 7 commandment s of
Animal ism t o f it t heir own needs.
On Animal Farm, t he f arm mot t o

?Four l egs good, t wo l egs bad? and
t hen l at er on are t aught ?Four l egs

t he compl et e opposit e of what t he

how hypocrit ical t he aut horit y, t he

 The New Humans
A new race of humans on Eart h? An animal
rebel l ion on an Engl ish f arm l ed by Napol eon
Porker goes f rom t errif ic t o t erribl e.

N A PO L E O N PO R K E R
Napol eon Porker, or Comrade Napol eon, was a l arge, f ierce l ooking Berkshire boar
who was born on t he 14t h of march of 1938. He is most f amousl y known f or
l eading t he f irst and onl y animal rebel l ion, on a f arm in nort h Manchest er, Engl and.
His reign as l eader t urned him f rom a decent , int el l igent pig int o a rut hl ess, sel f ish
t yrant who ended up bet raying t he animal s on t he f arm, his f ol l owers, f or his own
personal needs and kil l ed any animal who opposed t hemsel ves t o his rul es wit h
t he aid of dogs he t rained t o do one t hing, t o kil l .

In t he earl y days af t er t he rebel l ion, Napol eon was a much more quiet charact er.
His reign was shared wit h a f el l ow pig named Snowbal l MacSwine, a more ?wel l
spoken? pig wit h t he goal t o make t he f arm bet t er f or everyone. This individual
was chased of t he f arm by Napol eon because he f el t Snowbal l woul d int erf ere wit h
his pl an t o sl owl y manipul at e t he f arm int o f ol l owing him and t o use t hem f or his
own wel l being. Napol eon l earnt t o read and writ e and t hen event ual l y used t he
excuse t hat he needed more comf ort and f ood t han t he ot hers because of t hese
acquired t rait s.

As t ime passed, Napol eon f ed t he animal s wit h more propaganda t hru his cl osest
al l y Squeal er McBul l crap. Sl owl y but t rul y, t he 7 commandment s t he animal s had
set at t he beginning st art ed t o change t o f it Napol eon and t he ot her pigs?needs.
The f arm mot t o was changed f rom ?Four l egs good, t wo l egs bet t er? t o ?Four l egs
good, t wo l egs bet t er?and t he main rul e of Animal ism writ t en on t he back of t he
f arm barn was changed f rom ?Al l animal s are equal .? t o ?Al l animal s are equal , but
some are more equal t han ot hers.? As Porker?s reign of t error went on, t he rul es
t hat were set were not hing but an il l usion t o t he rest of t he f arm t hat t here was
some t ype of order on t he f arm when in real it y, t he l eaders were breaking every
singl e one of t hem.
