Animal farm Flashcards
“too drunk
to remember to shut the pop holes”
metaphor for how the noble leadership, drunk on their decadence and unaware of the plight of the people, crates a false sense of security that does not really protect the public, but leaves them open to danger
the life of an animal
is misery and slavery
remove man from the scene
and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever
these two had
great difficulty in thinking anything out for thenselves
it is for your sake
that we drink that milk and eat those apples
the work of
teaching and organising fell naturally upon the pigs, who were generally recognised as the cleverest of the animals
the education of
the young was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up
during the past
three months they had taught themselves how to read and write
napoleon took them away from
their mothers, saying he would make himself responsible for their education
they did not want jones back.
when it was put to them in this light, they had no more to say
they always found themselves
in agreement with the one who was speaking at the moment
if comrade napoleon says it
it must be right
