Chaper 3 Flashcards
What was the hard work in the harvest
it was not designed for animals: not an animal used a tool standing on hind legs.
Pigs were clever but only supervised and the leaders
horses were strong because they knew every inch and understood business far better than anyone and were led by pigs
all animals worked even the humble with tiny wisps of hay with no stealing or wasting.
describe the work on the farm
All animals were happy because they had more to eat and it was pleasure because there was no master
They met difficulties later in the year, when corn came, they treaded it out in ancient style and blow the chaff with breath cause no threshingmachine. pigs and Boxer led it
Boxer was admired because of his strength and had responsibility and did the hardest of the works. did whatever was most needed
His motto was “ I will work harder”
Describe other animals works
mollie
cat
hen shit
others
Everyone worked at his capacity. Nobody stole, grumble or even quarraled which was common but not now.
Hens and ducks saved 5 bushels of corn at the harvest by gathering up the stray grain.
Almost no one shirked. Mollie woke up late and left work early because there was a stone in her hoof.
the cat waspeculiar. she would vanish for hours at work on end and only come for meals. exclellent excuses, and purred affectionally, impossible to deny
Describe Benjamin’s work habits
unchanged since rebellion. did his work in sameobstinate slow way like jones time
never shirked but never volunteered for extra work.
expressed no opinion about the rebellion or Jones fucked
“Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey.” Had to be content with this cryptic answer
Describe the Sundays
no Work. Breakfast was an hour later than usual followed by a ceremony always.
First, hoist flag. Green because green fields of England. and the hoof and horn signified Future Republic of Animals would arise after humans overthrown. .
After hoisting flag, the Meeting. work of upcoming week and resolutions were putforwardand debated. pigs put them up forward. Other animals understood how to vote, but could not think of resolutions.
Snowball and Napolean were most active but never agreed with each other. each opposed each other.
describe paddock
the paddock was once agreed one Sunday but there was also a stormy debate but there was also a debate over correct retiring age of any animal.
Meeting ended with Beasts of england and afternoon had recreation.
What is the harness-room and its usage
the pigs had set aside the harness-room asheadquarters. In the evenings, they studied blacksmith,carpentering and other arts from Jones’ books.
snowball also busied himself withorganizing other animals into Animal committiess. he wasindefatigable [tireless] at this
Formed Egg productioncommittee for hens, Clean tails league for cows, wild comrades’ re-education Committee for taming rats and rabits, whiter wool movement for sheep, and others and classes reading and writing
these were Epic-fail. the attempt to tame wild animals failed immediately because they took advantage of generosity.
The cat and the re-education committee
she did well. was one day sitting on a roof and talking to sparrows who were out of reach. She told them all animals were comrade and could let sparrows sit on her paw but they kept their distantce.
Describe the reading and the writing classes.
Everyone was literate to some degree.
Pigs were perfect. dogs read fairly well but not interested other than 7…
Muriel could read somewhat better and read from scraps of newspaper to others from shit
Benjamin read like a pig but found nothing worth reading
Clover learned alphabet but could not put words together.
BoxerMollieand other readers
7 commbandements
Boxer learned ABCD but when remberedEFGHforgotABCD so was always content with ABCD. make them dust and remeber what came next. practiced them once or twice everyday to refresh his memory.
Mollie learned nothing but letters in her own name. form them with pieces of twig, decorate them with flowers and admire them.
None other animals hen sheep went beyond A. could not memorize the 7 and was reduced to 2=evil 4=bad. Snowball said it contains essential principles of Animalism.
birds objected that they had 2 legs but snowball said wings are propulsion not of manipulation and should be a leg. man’s hands are distinguishing mark and is used for mischief.
where was it inscribed
did birds like it
Bird’s like explanation and long words and stupid animals could learn it by heart.
in big letters over the 7 commandments inscribed on the barn wall.
sheep liked it so much, kept chanting of it for hours and without tire.
napolan and what did he do to the babies
He took no interest in Snowball’’s committees.
education of young was more important than anything that could be done for already grown up.
Jessie and Bluebell whelped after the hay harvest and gave total of nine puppies. As soon as they were weaned, Napolean took them away making himself responsible for their education.
he took them in a loft, laddered from harness room and the rest of the farm forgot about them.
what about milk and apples
mystery of milk destination clear up.
mixed in pigs’ mash and apples were ripening and orchard grass was littered with windfalls from trees.
Animals assumed milk and apples will be shared equally but order went that all windfalls collected will be brought to harness-room for pigs. animalsmurmured but no use. Autumn. All pigs were to assume this
what did they say if they were not fed the milk
Squealer said they were not in selfishness. they usually dislike milk and apples. it is to preserve health. proven by science, contain substances necessary for health of a pig. they are brain workers. management and organisation of farm depends on us. Jones would come back if can’t maintain duty
That was certain and it was agreed that it would be preserved for pigs alone.
