 * Process: II. || II. Next, you need to think about the novel. What propaganda techniques were used? How did the pigs manipulate the rules to fit their needs? Use your research on propaganda to find examples of it used in Animal Farm. ||
 * Examples from Animal Farm

2. Old Major predicts the violent end for the animals, “no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end.” Chapter 1 p. 6, p. 29

3. Snowball says to Mollie, “those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons” Chapter 2 p. 14, p. 37

4. After the rebellion the animals sing Beasts of England “from end to end seven times running.” Chapter 2 p. 18, p. 40

6. Snowball explains away the objections of the birds to the maxim: Four legs good, two legs bad. “A bird’s wing, comrades,” he said, “is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg.” Chapter 3 p. 29, p. 51

7. When justifying the pigs’ use of the milk and apples, Squealer says, “Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades,” cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, “surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?” Chapter 3 p. 31, p. 52

8. Pilkington and Frederick talk of the terrible wickedness on Animal Farm – that the “animals there practiced cannibalism, tortured one another with red-hot horseshoes, and had their females in common.” Chapter 4 p. 35, p. 55

9. Squealer says, “Suppose you had decided to follow Snowball, with his moonshine of windmills—Snowball, who as we now know, was no better than a criminal?” Chapter 5 p. 50, p. 69

10. Squealer persuades the animals that their memories are at fault when they think they remember passing a resolution against money and trade at the first meeting after the Rebellion. He suggests that this is imaginary and probably due to lies spread by Snowball. Chapter 6 p. 59, p. 77

11. “Squealer made excellent speeches about the joy of service and the dignity of labour .” Chapter 7 p. 67, pp. 84-85

12. Boxer says, “If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” Chapter 7 p. 73; p. 91

13. After Napoleon's purges, Boxer tells all the animals that he will work harder and suggests that they do the same. Chapter 7 p. 77, p. 94

14. Squealer “ would read out to them lists of figures proving that production of every class of foodstuff had increased by two hundred percent. . . . All the same there were days when they felt they would sooner have less figures and more food.” Chapter 8 p. 81, p. 99

15. Napoleon “was always referred to in a formal style as ‘our Leader, Comrade Napoleon’ and the pigs liked to invent for him such titles as Father of All Animals.” Chapter 8 p. 82, pp. 99-100

16. The positives on the farm are all credited to Napoleon: “two cows enjoying a drink at the pool would exclaim, ‘Thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon, how excellent this water tastes.’” Chapter 8 p. 83, p. 100

17. After the windmill is destroyed, guns are fired and Squealer tells the animals that they are celebrating their victory. Chapter 8 p. 91, p. 109

 * Process: IV. || IV. Now that you know about the ways in which propaganda were used in novel, it's your turn to create your own pieces of propaganda in the form of animations. [] ||
