Journal #4

One question I had as I read Animal Farm was why don't the animals rebel against Napoleon? I mean he is treating them about the same as Mr. Jones did. First off Napoleon decides to build one windmill. To build a wind mill the animals had to get large rocks drag the to the edge of the quarry and push them over the side and hoped that the rock smashed. If it didn't they would have to do it all over again. After this was done the animals then had to lay the rock. All the while Napoleon did no work. The shame was it fell over in a storm and Napoleon had them build it all over again. Also the animals get the same food rations if not worse then they did in Joneses time while the pigs pig out on almost all of the food. So why don't the animals rebel against Napoleon.



Another question that I had as I read this book is why does Napoleon try to make things better for only him? Why not make things better for all the animals. I mean if he made things better for every one the farm would prosper more and grow faster technology wise and economically. You see if he made things better for all the animals he would probably have a better work ethic out of them. Also the animals would cooperate more with him if he was nicer. If he made things better for the whole farm the farm would look nicer. Also it would probably run more smoothly and then they could by better machinery. If this happened then the farm would be able to prouduce more food and in turn the farm would make more money.
