Is the purpose of life to live happily and freely? Or is it to live a miserable life under a supreme leader who is just another animal like you and me. If that’s the case, then we have accomplished the goal of life. If it isn’t’, than we have failed miserably.
Fellow comrades, I have lived long enough to witness the wrath of Mr. Jones. I have lived long enough to witness the corruption of Napoleon. Old Major expressed his dream of the perfect utopia for all animals. But there is one thing that we all haven’t experienced together, that is freedom.

Chickens, it was the pigs that have taken your beloved eggs away from …show more content…

We witnessed it before our eyes but we told ourselves what we saw was false. We held the truth to what happened to poor Boxer, yet we wanted to believe the lies we heard and ignore what we saw. It was the pigs that sold Boxer to the knackers and for what comrades, for money to buy whiskey. Yet have we forgotten the commandment “No animal shall kill another animal”. Now sheep’s, have you forgotten the commandment that you were taught “four legs good, two legs bad”? We have witnessed the same pigs walking on two legs. We have witnessed the same pigs drunk enjoying a game of cards with humans to the extent where we couldn’t tell the difference between human and

“the pig was splayed open now. I could see all the organs: the blueish intestine and the spongy pink pair of lungs. I’d handled plenty of chicken guts on Joel’s farm, but this was different and more distrubing. That was probably because the pig’s internam organs looked exactly like human organs” (Pollan 243). Michael Pollan argues that the a reason people might be disturbed of this chain is because of when they do gut or ‘dress’ the animal after it is hunted and killed, people would see themselves in it because of how similar they are.

Napoleon was placed in a position of power after Major died, and he slowly starts to lavish in his power and become addicted to the lush life of a dictator.
