Chapter+6

=
==== During Chapter 6, all of the animals are working hard to build a windmill for Napoleon, who claimed the idea as his own after Snowball was chased out by Napoleon's dogs. The animals went through countless hardships while constructing the windmill, especially boxer, who volunteered to work day and night for Napoleon. ==== ==== Napoleon enforced a new policy which enabled him to trade with other neighboring farms, which was against the law that the pigs themselves had created. The animals were only allowed to trade with certain materials. Napoleon began making business agreements with Mr. Pilkington and Mr. Fredrick. The animals found out that the pigs were going against the Seven Commandments such as sleeping in a bed in the farm house. But it was never proven because supposedly the Animal Farms Seven Commandments state "No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets"(69). Squealer convinced the animals to believe that the pigs were right and that they should trust what the pigs are doing and be happy Jones is not in charge. ==== ==== After a storm the windmill is destroyed, the blame falls upon Snowball. The animals become furious with him searching for him all over but they cannot search long because the construction of the windmill must continue. "Long live the windmill! Long live Animal Farm!" (71) ====

Changes In Pattern
==== Throughout this chapter, readers can tell the pigs have taken a lot away from the rest of the animals on the farm whether it's just apples, milk, or being able to sleep in a bed while the others sleep on the cold hard ground. Not only do they have the comforts of a home but they also get to supervise the construction of the windmill unless the pigs are absolutely needed. Some of the more intelligent animals are begin to notice that the pigs are enjoying a quality of life that is not available to any of the other animals. However, the use of both propaganda in the form of squealer and intimidation in the form of the dogs quickly silenced any objections. ====

"All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work..." (59)
==== - The animals are being blinded with work and propaganda, keeping them from noticing that the pigs have a much higher quality of life than the rest of the animals. The pigs are taking control over the entire farm and its animals. ====

- In the book he will sell stacks of hay, eggs, wheat crop etc.
==== - In the real world, Stalin would trade with Hitler behind closed doors (Non-Aggression Pact). But one day when Stalin traded wood, Hitler gave him gold and cash which turned out to be fake, causing Stalin to become furious. ====

- Boxer's motto
==== - The working class in Russia works so hard for Stalin their "leader" (just as Napoleon's new title is Leader) but in Communism, it does not matter how hard a person works because everyone and everything is equal and will always be equal no matter what. While the absence of incentive usually means that there will be less effort put into work, Napoleon uses propaganda and the lack of intelligence in Boxer, a representation of the working class, to create motivation for the animals. ====

- Stalin had a lot of power. He could change people's views using propaganda, blame people and have them disappear, and control the media.
- Stalin used the citizens' gullibility in order to create common enemies in order to unite the Soviet Union, allowing them to be easily manipulated.



"Long live Animal Farm!" (71)

Snowball Being Chased by Napoleon's Angry Dogs: Trotsky's Assination
-The dogs that Napoleon used to chase Snowball off of the farm represent Stalin's secret police, who were an important part of Stalin's takeover, which heavily relied on removing Trotsky from power. -The dogs are also used to intimidate the animals and enforce Napoleon's policies.

Windmill: Stalin's 5-year Plan
==== - Napoleon's idea to build a windmill in order to increase the productivity of the farm represents Stalin's 5 year plan, which was meant to strengthen The Soviet Union's economy through industrialization in a limited amount of time. After Russia was poorly led by Czar Nicholas, just as the farm was neglected by Mr. Jones, Russia's industry was decades behind other advanced Countries like the United States and Germany. In an attempt to create a stronger economy, Stalin planned to industrialize the Soviet Union so that the Soviet economy would be able to compete with the economies of other world powers. ==== ==== Destruction of the Windmill: ﻿This symbolized that Stalin's(Napoleon) five year plan was a failure. The plan was to set up targets and all industries had to meet those targets. These targets were almost impossible to meet. ====

Below is a chart that shows the targets for the industries:
mt= millions of tons
 * || 1927 || 1932 || 1937 ||
 * Coal || 35 mt || 64 mt(75 mt target) || 128 mt(152 mt target) ||
 * Oil || 12 mt || 21 mt(22 mt target) || 29 mt(47 mt target) ||
 * Iron Ore || 5 mt || 12 mt(19 mt target) || unknown ||
 * Pig Iron || 3 mt || 6 mt(10 mt target) || 15 mt(16 mt target) ||
 * Steel || 4 mt || 6 mt(10 mt target) || 18 mt(17 mt target) ||
