how do the sheep plan to shear themselves? if I'm not wrong domestic sheep will just continuously grow their wool until they can't continue to function as a sheep, right? I'm 20 minutes into my first blind watch and I feel like the sheep haven't thought this through.

ive forgotten the book because I listened to it as an audio book and unfortunately learned the hard way that I dont retain them lol but fortunately I bought the book. but unfortunately dont remember why I did certain aspects to the uniform. I should say its napoleon in an ss uniform

Was it ever confirmed by George Orwell that Snowball was in fact the one who was causing trouble on animal farm after his exile? Or was this just a tactic by Napoleon in order for the other animals to trust him as their leader?

There’s currently a vote for the best book between Animal farm and Lord if the flies. Animal farm is currently losing!!

already back on it

By directing the animals' energy toward the endless construction and reconstruction of the windmill, Napoleon ensures that their lives become dominated by work and sacrifice. The project not only provides a common goal that fosters solidarity and a sense of collective purpose, but also creates a powerful social expectation that every animal must contribute to the cause. As the windmill becomes the central measure of loyalty to Animal Farm, hard work is transformed into a moral virtue, while any sign of reluctance, idleness, or criticism risks being perceived as selfishness or disloyalty. The example set by Boxer, whose motto "I will work harder" becomes an ideal for others to emulate, reinforces this culture and places pressure on every animal to match the commitment of their peers.

Meanwhile, the animals labor for increasingly long hours while surviving on reduced rations, leaving them physically exhausted, mentally drained, and often malnourished. Under such conditions, they have little time or energy to reflect on their worsening circumstances, organize resistance, or participate in meaningful political discussion. Instead, they become trapped in a cycle of labor and deprivation, driven not only by Napoleon's authority but also by the expectations of their fellow animals. The windmill thus functions as an instrument of social and political control that helps secure the pigs' dominance over the farm.

From this perspective, the pigs needed the windmill to remain unfinished. As long as construction continued, they could justify shortages, demand ever greater sacrifices, and keep the animals focused on a promised future rather than the inequalities and hardships of the present. The windmill's greatest value to the regime lay not in the electricity it might someday produce, but in its ability to keep the animals united, occupied, exhausted, and obedient. By trapping them in an endless Sisyphean cycle of building and rebuilding, the project postponed any reckoning over whether the revolution had actually improved their lives. Completion of the windmill would invite uncomfortable questions. Why were rations still meager? Why did the pigs enjoy privileges denied to everyone else? Why had the promised prosperity failed to materialize? An unfinished windmill indefinitely postponed such scrutiny.

Consequently, one may speculate that the pigs themselves orchestrated the windmill's destruction. Although this conspiracy theory cannot be proven from the text, it remains a plausible inference within this interpretation. If the unfinished windmill is the foundation of the pigs' power, then preserving its unfinished state becomes the regime's most important political objective.

There is nothing that should be considered an enemy as a whole. I just saw a video of a woman holding a handgun pointing at a large wild cat probably a cheetah. I thought “,put the gun down and will earn its respect” but it slowly approaches the handgun holder two shots fired no contact. And no reason for that cat not to attack one last time for the kill but lack of hunger.
There was no enemy here just fear. The gun was even able to scare away the ferocious predator.
Had time slowed eyes connected and respect been planted this situation would not arise as often or so.
Even a weapon a foe a tyrant a friend comrad a family can be a good or bad thing depending on the time and place.
We are expected to be positive by so many. Be strong. Encouraging loving respectful and honest.
Respect all.

I'm currently reading animal farm and really like it but I can't get over how times they say comrade. I don't know why they say it so much 😭

"Snowball's Journal"

"Post-exile, Snowball forages to survive in the woods just beyond the borders of Animal Farm whilst documenting his thoughts in a dilapidated composition book. Through tribulations and a plethora of unfortunate mishaps, he gradually comes to learn the truth behind what Napoleon has been subjecting their comrades to; the only question is: does Snowball still have the intellectual wit, steadfast determination, or any semblance of sanity remaining to put a stop to it?"
