I think that, by far, the worst part of the book was when the animals were slain after they admitted to the crimes associated with Snowball. The animals simply told Napoloean that they were working with Snowball and the dogs murdered them right on the spot. I really find this disturbing because the animals knew that it wasn't true, but in order to suit Napoleon and his rediculous assumptions of Snowballs crimes, they admitted to the crimes. Also, I found it disturbing when the chickens were slain because there was a rumor going around the farm about how they wanted to poison Napoleon's food.
I think that Napoleon should have cut the rations in half or made the animals do extra work, but to just rip their throtes out on the spot! Well that is just cruel. I really don't like the way that Napoleon treats the other animals. He treats himself like a king, while the other animals suffer from overwork and little rations. Also, in my opinion, I think that Napoleon should also be punished. Just for his pleasure, he slightly changed the commandments to suit his liking. But then the all the animals are just too gullible and think that they just forgot the "last two words" of the commandment.

Animal Farm
So far, I think that the book is pretty good. I like how it closly follows the Russian Revolution and the characters are very similar by their actions. I have not read many fables but I think I will give some more a try. I usually think of fables as cheezy knock-offs but I'm really liking this one, esspecially as we read on and the story takes some unexpecting turns. Im thinking that Jones is just going to come back but I also think that I could be wrong.
Im not to fond of how the animals in the story are super gullable. And I also don't like how the windmill is being made. Napolean hasn't yet told the animals exactly how it is going to cut there work to three days a week. I am interested to find out if Snowball is indeed alive and selling himself and Napolean's ideas to the other farm. I don't really understand how Napolean is telling the guy what to do becuase if that man knows they could talk wouldnt he just go and spread that through the whole town? It just doesnt make a whole lot of sence.
