“The very first question she asked Snowball was: ‘Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion?’… ‘And shall I still be allowed to wear ribbons in my mane?’” (36).
Even though all the other animals explain to Mollie about the rebellion, she still likes to be in Mr. Jones’ power. She one of the favorites. -

he sentence that I think George Orwell shows about the “dark side”is “Now comerades what is the nature or this life of ours? Let us face it :our lives are miserable , laborious, and short. We are born , we are hiven just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies , and those of us who are capable of it are forced to wrk to the last atom of our strength ; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty.” ( 8 the page in my book .)

the “authorities”.
-
The pigs were smarter than other animals, so “it was natural that [pigs] assume the leadership” (45).
-
When the other animals realized that the pigs were drinking all the milk of the cowsand eating all the apples, the pigs told the population that “[o]ur sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health” (52). They also said that “[m]ilk and apples…contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig” (52).

I think Goerge Orwell was trying to persuade readers how the education in this world is stupid and usless. By showing some examples like educating wild animals–who have their own style of living–and teaching animals another thing even though they have their own specialities.
-
In terms of educating the young ones, Old Major, tells them the hards truth. “You young porkers sitting in front of me, every one of you will scream your lives out at the block within a year.” (30)
-
In the novel,”Napoleon took [the newborn puppies] away from their mothers, saying hat he would make himself responsible for their education. He took them up into a loft. . . and therekept them in such seclusion that the rest of the farm soon forgot about their existence”(51).
-
During the time when Stalin had power in the Soviet Union, he was able to control the education system from kindergarten to college. Just like Stalin, Napoleon took no interest in his other people’s idea. Instead, Napoleon took the new born puppies and said that he will be responsible for their education. Napoleon took the puppies into a loft located high enough and separated from other animals that animals in the farm forgot about their existence. The authority, Napoleon, took control of the new born babies and also to “educate” them. The young, nine puppies were being “educated” by the authority, Napoleon. The dark side that Orwell shows of youth and authority is that the authority had enough power to make the young’s existence forgettable. What Napoleon calls education leads to brainwash and control.
-
There were some wise and animal caring pigs such as Snow ball. He tried several things, had a goal and scrificed himself for the majority. He also makes a principal which was really effective… “Two legs good, Four legs bad” However, Napoleon, who seems to have no interest to whatever’s going on shows his greedy and evil characteristic by taking the young puppies from the dogs by saying he’s teaching them.(51)
-
We see here, when the full-grown dogs had nine puppies, Napoleon hurriedly took them at swore that “he would make himself responsible for [the nine puppies’] education” (51).Later,

tyrannism
-
I chose the quote from page 31, which is the part when Major made his speech in front of animals before he dies; “All the habits of Man are evil. And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers.”
-
From this part, George Orwell effectively presents his opinion about the tyrannism
-
Mr. Jones “[was] used to [thrash] and [maltreat]” the animals (39).
-
Pigs contradict themselves by saying this quote. “Ribbon[s] should be considered as clothes, which are the mark of a human being. All animal[s] should go naked” (40).
-
Pigs educated and brainwashed the youngs by saying that Ribbons and all other things are considered as clothes and therefore forbidden. But later, the pigs wear clothes which contradicts the fact what they said before.
-
In my opinion, nuclear bomb is another kind of “RIBBON.” For instance, the U.S. is trying to forbid other coutries from making nuclear bombs like the pigs forbidding other animals to wear ribbon and other clothes. But still, the U.S. itself is making nuclear bombs like pigs wearing ribbons and other clothes. I think this quote is quite interesting and I like this book!

He trains young with his own way secretly. “Napoleon took [puppies] away from their mothers, saying that he would make himself responsible for their education. (51)”

(50).”
-
He taught animals according to their capacity.
-
In order to make “[stupid] animals, such as the sheep, hens, and ducks” (50). understand the Seven Commandments, Snowball makes it easier.
-
Also the other pig, Napoleon, thinks “the education of the young” (51) as the most important thing. To execute his idea, he “took [new born babies] away from their mothers, [and said] that he would . . . [educate them]” (51). I found out in internet Napoleon stands for Stalin. No wonder why Napoleon is so stubborn and careless about other animals.
-
as Orwell states “So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and the windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone.”
-
These pigs especially Snowball and Napoleon were able to make decisions for other animals.
-
For example, “[Napoleon] took puppies away from their mothers, saying that he would make himself responsible for their education.(51)”
-
The passage also mentioned “[In the harness-room] kept the [puppies in such seclusion that the rest of the farm soon forgot their existence(51).” Here I came to question that if all animals were equal why were those puppies had to be secluded from others? As you can see the pigs are starting to violate their own commandments.
-
Even pigs implied that, “without further argument that the milk and the windfall apples should be reserved for the pigs alone(53).”

Like it says in the quote, animals do all the harsh works that humans cannot. They, give milk, lay eggs, pull plough, and catch rabbits. Though animals work hard, the only reward they get is the minimum and Mr. Jones takes the rest.
-
animals considered that “man is the only real enemy [they] have” (29).
