Animal Farm: Entry 6



--Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.

“The Seven Commandments
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.

2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.” (p. 43)

This is ‘The Seven Commandments’ as it is shown up on the quote. These commandments are standard rules that all the animals should keep; it will be constitution that cannot be changed in human’s society. However, Napoleon has changed based on pigs’ advantage. As I said, Pigs are allowed to drink and eat human’s food, to walk on two feet like human, to sleep in bed, and to kill other species of animals. The last change is that some are more equal than others. As the rules are changed, I looked back on this page to see what kind of changes in the society of animals will come, and it was tremendous. These seven commandments are influenced by humans; all the commandments show animosity against human. However, pigs become more like human beings as the rules are changed. As I see the Squealer has changed the rules, I sympathized the animals in the farm because I know what has been changed and how all species of animals in the farm except for pigs lose their freedom and right.
