End of Chapter 2

“the milk had disappeared” (16)

Napoleon steals the milk- corrupt from the outset



Chapter 3


Interesting quotations that point to important themes in the novel:

 

“How they toiled and sweated...” (17)


“Gee up, comrade” (17)


“not an animal on the farm had stolen so much as a mouthful” (17)


“Boxer with his tremendous muscles always pulled them though” (18)


“Nobody shirked- or almost nobody” (18)


“Donkeys live a long time” (19)


“these two were never in agreement” (20)


“Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could... be reduced to a single maxim...” (21)


“the education of the young was more important...” (22)


“who wants to see Jones come back” (23)


Teacher’s example

“Everyone worked according to his capacity” (18)

Refer to Marx “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”


MY LECTURE NOTES

Mollie shirking

Cat shamelessly lazy, shyster, charmer

Old Benjamin “unchanged” “would express no opinion” “cryptic answer”

regular Sunday ceremony, “the meeting”

flag- symbolism, representative of ideal

pigs put resolution- animals vote

meeting ends “Beasts of England”

Napoleon & Snowball “never in agreement” (20), beginnings of power struggle

pigs have headquarters

Animal committees, all failures, animals reverting to type

literacy program, Benjamin “nothing worth reading” (21), most animals functionally illiterate, illiterate masses

therefore Snowball reduces seven commandments to “single maxim”

“essential principle of animalism” 4 legs good, 2 legs bad

Napoleon takes young dogs to raise

milk and apples go to the pigs, Squealer spins it with fallacious argument evoking science, specter of Mr. Jones, pigs sacrificing for animals




Test on Thursday – about Ch 1-3. Review your notes.

paragraph – address the question directly, no plot summary

If you read the chapters, made notes, and reviewed class work, you should be ok.



Quiz – sentence combining
