Question 4

In my opinion the climax of this novel happens when Napoleon runs Snowball off the farm with his trained pack of dogs and declares that the power to make decisions for the farm will be exercised solely by the pigs only. During Snowballs speech Napoleon runs in with his pets and scares Snowball that he runs away from the farm, but he says that Snowball have been killed by those dogs. After this happens everyone started to follow Napoleon rules, without even making sure if Snowball is really dead. As soon as Napoleon becomes a new leader of the farm, all of the animals just suddenly forget about Snowball and how he told the m to live their lives. To me all the events that happen in this story are not very pleasant. The problems that they have on the farm are all animals fault. They should have followed Snowball not what Napoleon said. Or at least they could have followed what they thought was right for them to do. Even though they were not allowed to do what they wanted, they cold have at least gathered all together and resist against Napoleon and Squealer rules, but instead they just gave up easily. It was just really foolish of them letting Napoleon take over the farm and their lives without any interference. After Napoleon start to make his own right and started to act like human beings animals still don’t do anything to stop them from it, even for their own sake.

I agree with you, there were lots of opinions of the climax. Some people are saying that the part when Napoleon kicked Snowball out from the farm is cimax, and some people are saying that the part when pigs act like humans is the climax. I actually agree both of them. Nice blog.
