Animal Farm end

I enjoyed the novel however it wasn't as good as I thought or wanted it to do but I still liked it.  I wondered why Squealer would sell Boxer to the Knackers for money, and the worst part is that they used the money to buy whiskey.  I liked how the animals chased Mr. Jones out of the farm and they ran it themselves but I didn't like how Napolean was the leader, I would have prefered Snowball because he was a good leader.  The pigs also changed a lot of the commandments and Clover was clever enough to notice the changes.  The changes of the commandments were just minor but the changes were so the pigs could do stuff they originally weren't supposed to do to a certain extent.  I still wonder why the pigs would change the commandments just for a little bit of pleasure like sleeping in a bed.

Animal farm 6

Why were the pigs able to sleep in the beds?

The pigs were able to sleep in the beds because Squealer convinced the animals that since the pigs have the brains on the farm so they deserve a quiet place to work and sleep.  The pigs also had to change the 4th commandment from "No animal shall sleep in a bad" to "No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets."  The pigs were explaining to the other animals exactly why they could sleep in the beds.

Why did Napolean announce doing work on Sunday?

He claims that the animals will get a benefit from working a 60 hour week and if the animals didn't work some of the time their pay got cut in half.  A lot of the things were also become more successful than last year.It was also found necessary to leave certain tasks undone.

1)  I think computer intellegence will never be as good as man and sciene because peopel are always discovering and inventing new things and stuff.

2)  The online dialogue makes it look like she is talking to somebody in maybe the same situation but she was actually talking to herself.  She learned that you can actually help yourself as much as anybody else can.

3)  She doesn't think she can learn all the information because there is too much.  I don't think she should ignore it because what if she gets into the same situation or if somebody else does?  She could help them.
