Pigs took charge and place of Major.
Napoleon with snowball and Squealer elaborated majors teachings into a system of thought.

6. 3 Pigs
Napoleon: the only berkshire boar in the farm. Not much of a talker, but with reputation of getting his own way.
Snowball: a vivacious pig, quicker in speech than Napoleon.
Squealer: A porker, with excellent speaking skills.

7. Animalism
Several nights later, the three pigs called on a secret meeting.
They elaborated the idea of animalism.
They had to explain the need and importance of animalism to many animals.

8. Mollie a spy of the Master
Mollie was one of the most favorite pets of Mr Jones
Mollie was unconvinced of ‘‘Animalism’’ – the resistance movement against tyranny of man
The Delusion of ‘‘Sugarcandy Mountain’’
Sugarcandy Mountain is a place where animals would go once they are dead – this belief was being propagated by Mollie
In other words, Mollie was using these lies to sabotage the resistance movement

Both of them were cart-horses
They were highly inclined towards
Animalism and supported the arguments raised by the pigs
They were also actively involved in spreading the message of resistance
Boxer
Clover

10. Failures of the Master
Rebellion was achieved more easily because Mr Jones was no more capable
He lost money in a law suit
He was drinking more than he should

11. He could no longer monitor the workers on the farm
Farm was being mismanaged.
Mr Jones went to Willingdon on Midsummer’s eve
He came back Sunday and slept

12. The Day of Triumph Animals were not fed by his men during this time
Animals could no longer tolerate this tyranny
They rebelled next morning

13. The animals were being whipped by the men
Animals kicked and butted the men
Soon the situation went out of control for the men and they flew seeing this sudden and unprecedented uprising

14. Rebellion was successful
Jones and his men were expelled
The farm now belonged to Animals
It was ` now

15. For the first few minutes the animals could hardly believe in their good fortune.
They gallop in a body right round the boundris of the farm to make sure that no human being was hiding anywhere upon it.
Then they came back to the farm building to eradicate the last traces of Jones’s hated reign.
The harness room was broken up;the bits,the nose rings,the dog chains, and the cruel knives were all thrown down the well.

16. And the reins,the halters,the blinkers,the degrading nosebags and the whips were thrown on to the rubbish fire.
All the animals were jumping with happiness when they saw the whips going up in flames.
Ribbons and hats were also flung on to the fire because according to snowball these things were considered as clothes and all animals should go naked.
In a few moments they had destroyed everything that could remind them of MR.Jones.

17. After this Napoleon led them to the store-shed and served out a double ration corn to everybody with two biscuits for each dog.
Then they sang “Beasts of England and slept as they had never slept before.
Next day they woke at dawn and raced out into the pasture together.
They enjoyed the clear morning light the top of a hill.They gambolled round and round with excitement.

18. Joy of freedom. All animals were happy.
They rolled in in dew and cropped their mouths with sweet grass.
They surveyed the plough land, the hay field, the orchard, the pool and the spinney. They happy like never before.
Then they came back to the farm
building.
They rolled in the dew, they cropped mouthful of the sweet grass, they kicked up the soil and snuffed its rich scent.
Then they surveyed the plough land, the hayfield, the orchard, the pool and the spinney. It was as though they had never seen these things before.

19. Ownership of farmhouse
Snowball ,Napoleon and other animals entered the farmhouse.
Amazed by the inside beauty and luxury.
Mollie took a piece of blue cloth form dressing.
Snowball and Napoleon together with their companions entered into the farmhouse very carefully. They tiptoed room to room without disturbing anything.
They were gazing with kind of awe at unbelievable luxury, at the beds with their feather mattresses, the looking glasses, the horsehair sofa, the brussels carpet, the lithograph of queen victoria and over the mantelpiece.
Mollie had taken the piece of blue from the dressing table of Mrs. Jones, wore it, and admiring herself in glass in very foolish manner. Then they went outside.
