| The second dmill is blown up in an attack by Frederick after he steals wood from Animal Farm by paying for it with counterfeit But Napoleon pronounces this defeat to be a great victory and work begins on a third attempt to build a dmill None of the promises of leisure time and comfort come true�no heat or electricity in the barn no machines to do their work In fact life grows er for all of the animals except the pigs and food is scarcer When Boxer the est worker on the farm is hurt Napoleon sells him to the horse slaughterer Squealer convinces the others that Boxer died in the hospital after getting the best treatment Old Majors prediction about Boxer has come true but it is Napoleon who is the villain In the end the pigs completely subvert the ideals of Animalism They are the new masters They walk on two legs They violate and change each of the Seven Commandments Ultimately these commandments are erased and replaced with only one All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others In the final scene Mr Pilkington comes for a tour and Napoleon announces some changes The name is changed back to Manor Farm and a new level of understanding is reached between pig and man The book ends when someone cheats in a card game The animals watching from outside cannot tell the difference between the pigs and the men The Life and Work of George Orwell eorge Orwell was born Eric Hugh Blair in in Motihari Bengal India He was the second of three ren and the only boy born to Ric and Ida Blair His elder sister Marjorie and his younger sister Avril completed this middleclass AngloIndian family His dour discouraging father was an agent in the Opium Department of the British Civil Service As was the custom with such middleclass ren born abroad he was sent back to England for his education His mother a modern rather leftg woman and militant suffragette accompanied him Orwell attended the best English schools including Eton College a school that epitomized traditional British education Poorer than the other students and feeling insecure about himself he never quite fit in with the rest of his classmates Politically he had difficulty accepting the world of British imperialism that surrounded him These feelings of being an outsider coupled with Orwells firm belief which he expressed early in his life to friends and family that he felt fated to become a great writer affected the course of his entire life Influenced by his mothers revolutionary politics and charged by his own political ideas Orwell ultimately turned to a writing career |
