The 5 Stages of The Animal Farm Revolution
Preliminary Unrest- The animals are not happy with the way their farmer is treating them. They are overworked and underfed. Old Major, one of the animals, points out these facts to them. The animals soon plan a rebellion. Unfortunately, Old Major dies before the rebellion is carried through.
Defection From The Old System- The animals expel Jones and his men. The animals soon come up with the 7 commandments. They name their new farm Animal Farm.
Time Of Experimentation- As Animal Farm grows older, the pigs slowly gain more power. The two main contenders for the main leader are Napoleon and Snowball. They never seem to agree on anything. Napoleon takes some puppies under his wing.
Reign Of Terror- Napoleon expels Snowball from the farm with the help of the dogs. Soon Snowball is blamed for all the farms plunders and anyone admits to be “in league” with Snowball will be executed. Napoleon starts violating his own rules and makes the other animals work long shifts with little food.
The New System- Soon, the animals begin to cope with their new lifestyle. With tales of Sugarcandy Mountain (piggy heaven) and Napoleon’s claims that the animals are far better off now than they were on the old system, the animals slowly embrace their new life.
