In chapters three and four of Animal Farm, more trouble is stirred. The milk was found to be mixed in with the pig’s food, as well as harvested apples. The pigs claimed that this was because apples and milk are essential for a pig–or the thinkers–to be healthy. So the milk and apples were decided to be saved for the pigs and the pigs only. Then, the Jones returned with help, and was briskly defeated by the animals. Afterwards, Snowball decided that there should be some medal of honor. So he and Boxer received a brass medal that said ANIMAL HERO, FIRST CLASS. Then all the sheep that had died in the battle received a medal that said ANIMAL HERO, FIRST CLASS.

The pigs, however, set themselves up to run the farm because they are the most intelligent of all the others, and know how to read and write and such. They immediately took controll and told the animals things that wasn’t understandable, but seemed to be true or make sense.

The fact that the pigs are eating all the milk and apples, doesn’t fit the needs of the Seven Commandments. The seventh rule, and probably the most important, is that all the animals are equal. If that were true, why would the pigs be hogging the apples and milk to themselves? Why would they give out directions but never work? This kind of system can be the very downfall to Animalism and Animal Farm.
