The significance of placing the gun at the foot of the flagpole is to symbolize the victory and establish the animals' dominance over humans.

Jones was in control, life was not easy. Mr. Jones was a harsh and neglectful farmer who did not care about the welfare of the animals. Especially us pigs we had to work long hours in the fields and perform task around the farm and we were given very little food and water. We are not provided with proper rest, nutrition, or medical care. Because of this we are always hungry, fatigued, and experience physical exhaustion. We don’t get good enough sleep because we live in cramped and unsanitary quarters and we don’t have adequate space or comfort. I can barely stretch my feet when I’m trying to sleep. We had to endure harsh weather conditions without proper shelter. This environment was not conducive for meand the other pigs. Now I’m a very smat pig but farmer jones doesn’t think so. I could be even smarter but farmer Jones doesn’t value our education. We were denied access to learning, critical thinking, and the opportunity to cultivate our intelligence. This lack of education stifled our potential and hindered our ability to rise above certain circumstances. Farmer jones treated us like we were mere commodities. We were basically slaves to farmer jones and he only used us for economic

Napoleon’s strong desire to keep power drives him to blame Snowball for the destruction of the windmill to make him look good, so he would not be blamed for all the destructions and injuries that occur within the Farm. This impels the animals to assume that Snowball is the victim and consequently the animals would rely on Napoleon to keep Snowball away for their protection. Squealer swindles the animals saying that the windmill was actually Napoleon’s invention and that his opposition towards it is just a fabrication in order “to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence” (71). Napoleon’s only strategy is to make the animals under the impression that Snowball is the source of all destructions in order to keep his power.

Snowball emerges as a fervent ideologue who throws himself heart and soul into the attempt to spread Animalism worldwide and to improve Animal Farm’s infrastructure. His idealism, however, leads to his downfall. Relying only on the force of his own logic and rhetorical skill to gain his influence, he proves no match for Napoleon’s show of brute force. Although Orwell depicts Snowball in a relatively appealing light, he refrains from idealizing his character, making sure to endow him with certain moral flaws. For example, Snowball basically accepts the superiority of the pigs over the rest of the animals.
