Chapter 6 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

I think this chapter is when the leadership starts to go against all the founding principles of Animalism. The founding principle of Animalism is that all animals are equal, but the pigs clearly see themselves as above the other animals. Also, when the animals move into the farmhouse and sleep in the beds, it violates one of the original Seven Commandments. Another example of this is when the pigs start trading with the other farms, which violated another one of the original commandments. This shows how corrupt the pigs have become, especially when the pigs change the Commandments to suit their selfish wants. This represents how Stalin changed the concepts of Communism from what I originally planned to the oppressive system it is known as today.

Chapter 7 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter shows how corrupt the pigs have become. They have become even more oppressive and have continued lying to the other animals. The public executions violate yet another of the original Seven Commandments of Animalism. They gave the animals false statistics saying life was better than right after the rebellion. These lies were probably intended to make sure the animals didn't rebel against Napoleon and the pigs. Napoleon also reduced the chances of rebellion by banning the singing of "Beasts of England", replacing it with another song written by one of the pigs. This chapter represents how extremely Stalin twisted my original ideas of Communism. He changed equality for everyone to equality for everyone except a few people above everyone else.

Chapter 8 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter continues to show how the pigs have deceived the other animals. An example of this is that the commandments keep being changed, but Squealer is always able to convince the animals that they merely forgot the commandments. Also, when Napoleon was undecided about who to sell the extra wood to, the pigs convinced the other animals that he was using tactics. The only time Napoleon was honest to the animals was when he told them to prepare for the worst after he found out the money he got for the wood was fake. When the windmill was destroyed, the pigs simply had the animals build another windmill without caring about the amount of labor or food they got. This chapter represents how Stalin didn't care about the working class and only cared about himself.

Chapter 9 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter shows the cruelty of Napoleon. He makes the animals work when they are already weakened, with even less food than before. He also has Squealer continuously lie to them about the statistics saying they had more food and less work than with Mr. Jones. Squealer also comes up with new stories about Snowball, saying he openly fought for Mr. Jones during the Battle of the Cowshed. Also, when Boxer became unable to work, Napoleon sold him to a butcher to buy more whiskey for the pigs. Squealer then claimed that Boxer died in the hospital to make sure his death didn't cause another revolution.

Chapter 10 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter shows how the pigs ruined the idea of Animalism. They slowly became just like humans by smoking, listening to radio, reading magazines, installing a telephone, wearing human clothes, and eventually walking on two legs. Also, Napoleon turned Animal Farm back into what it was with Mr. Jones. He did this by stopping the animals from calling each other "Comrade", ending the animals paying homage to Old Major, and removing the horn and hoof from the flag. He also changed the name from Animal Farm back to Manor Farm. At the end, the only differences between the present and before the rebellion were that the farm was run by a pig, and the animals got less food and did more work.
