What happens in Chapter I of ‘Animal Farm’?
A drunk Mr Jones stumbles to bed, forgetting to lock up his farm buildings. The animals thus convene in the big barn to hear Old Major’s speech. He blames their short and miserable lives on man, and incites rebellion. He teaches them a song: Beasts of England.
What happens in Chapter II of ‘Animal Farm’?
Old Major dies in his sleep, and the other animals prepare for rebellion. The pigs (the cleverest animals) prepare the others, teaching them Animalism, which they do not all fully understand. The Rebellion occurs, and Jones is driven from the farm. The farm is renamed ‘Animal Farm’ and Seven Commandments are made.
What happens in Chapter III of ‘Animal Farm’?
The animals labour in the fields throughout the summer. Boxer works hardest. There is a flag-raising ceremony each Sunday – Snowball and Napoleon often clash. Snowball spends time trying to educate the animals. Napoleon takes a group of puppies to ‘educate’ in a loft. When it is noted the pigs have been eating the apples and milk, Squealer persuades the animals that it is essential for the wellbeing of the pigs and the future of the farm.
What happens in Chapter IV of ‘Animal Farm’?
The news of Animal Farm has spread to neighbouring farms (through the birds), where animals have begun singing Beasts of England. Jones and other farmers thus launch an attack, however they are easily beaten by the animals. Boxer and Snowball fight heroically and are awarded medals as a result. Only a single sheep is lost, who is given a hero’s burial. Snowball tells Boxer not to feel guilt for a human’s death.
What happens in Chapter V of ‘Animal Farm’?
Mollie is tempted away from the farm by a red-faced man who feeds her. Snowball and Napoleon grow increasingly hostile towards one another. As Snowball announces plans for a new windmill, Napoleon unleashes his dogs, which attack Snowball and chase him off the farm. The animals are anxious about this, but Squealer’s passionate defence and the growl of the dogs is enough to assure them that ‘Napoleon is always right.’
What happens in Chapter VI of ‘Animal Farm’?
The animals work at a rapid pace to build the windmill, and their rations are cut. It is announced that the farm is now trading with humans, to the shock of the animals. It begins that the pigs have
English
begun amending the commandments to suit their own interests. A
storm destroys the windmill, yet Napoleon blames the destruction on the ‘traitor Snowball.’,
What happens in Chapter VII of ‘Animal Farm’?
Snowball is blamed for more and more failures, which the humans attribute to planning errors. Hens eggs are now sold, which makes the hens rebel. Napoleon holds a meeting in which several animals are murdered by the dogs for their apparent treasons against the farm. It is revealed ‘Beasts of England’ may no longer be sung.
What happens in Chapter VIII of ‘Animal Farm’?
More of the commandments appear to change, but the animals are persuaded that this is not the case. Napoleon has now taken the title of ‘Leader’ and has multiple other honours. Trading with humans intensifies. A further battle with humans takes place, with the windmill destroyed, several animals killed, and Boxer injured. The pigs begin drinking alcohol.
What happens in Chapter IX of ‘Animal Farm’?
Animal Farm is named a republic and Napoleon unanimously named the president. Moses the raven returns and speaks of Sugarcandy Mountain. Boxer grows frailer and one day collapses. The pigs announce that he will be taken to hospital, but Benjamin reads on the van that he is in fact being taken to a slaughterhouse. Squealer announces that he died at the hospital, and that the van had only just been bought by the hospital.
What happens in Chapter X of ‘Animal Farm’?
Years pass by. Many animals die and few can remember the rebellion. Only the pigs seem richer, yet all animals remain proud of being on Animal Farm. The pigs begin walking on two legs. Humans come over for a meeting and commend how hard the pigs make the animals work, for so little rations. The name Animal Farm is returned to ‘Manor Farm.’ The animals can no longer differentiate between people and pigs.
