Animal Farm 4

What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?


The climax of this novel is when Frederick, the neighbor farm, attacks animal farm. It all began when Napoleon had a contract of selling the timber to Frederick. Frederick paid the timber by bank-notes and it was found out that the bank-notes were fake. Napoleon obviously got mad and all the animals anticipated that there was going to be a war. All of a sudden, Frederick and his followers attack animal farm with their guns. At first, the animals hid in the farm buildings since the men had guns. Frederick and his people blew up the windmill which all the animals worked hard on for months. All the animals got mad and attacked the men. The men ran away fortunately, but many of the animals got killed and wounded.


This situation made me sorrowful and upset at the same time. I felt despondency since I knew how the animals worked hard on that windmill. The animal that first came to my mind was Boxer, the horse. He was the one who worked the most on building the windmill. If Napoleon did not have a contract with Frederick, this would not have happened. He broke one of the commandments. Because of Napoleon, many animals died and the windmill got destroyed.
