    The animals are dismayed to learn that Napoleon has taken on extra responsibilities of managing the farm. Several animals want to protest but cannot find good arguments. Boxer is troubled but cannot think of anything to say. Some young pigs squeal in disapproval but are silenced by the dogs' growls. The sheep then bleat "Four legs good, two legs bad" for a quarter of an hour, ending any discussion. Squealer is later sent to explain to the other animals that leadership is difficult and Napoleon wants what is best, even if some decisions might be wrong, so they must obey him loyally above all else.

    LITERARY EXTRACT

    A2

    In spite of the shock that Snowball’s expulsion had given them. the animals were
    dismayed by this announcement. Several of them would have protested if they could have
    found the right arguments. Even Boxer was vaguely troubled. He set his ears back, shook
    his forelock several times, and tried hard to marshal his thoughts; but in the end he could
    not think of anything to say. Some of the pigs themselves, however, were more articulate.
    For young porkers in the front row uttered shrill squeals of disapproval, and all four of
    them sprang to their feet and began speaking at once. But suddenly the dogs sitting round
    Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again. Then
    the sheep broke out into a tremendous bleating of “Four legs good, two legs bad!” which
    went on for nearly a quarter of an hour and put an end to any chance of discussion.

    Afterwards Squealer was sent round the farm to explain the new arrangement to the
    others.

    “Comrades,” he said, “I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that
    Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine,
    comrades, that leadership is a pleasure!” On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy
    responsibility. No one believes more firmly that Comrade Napoleon that all animals are
    equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But
    sometimes you might make the wring decisions, comrades, and then where should we
    be? Suppose you had decided to follow Snowball, with his moonshine of windmills
    Snowball, who, as we now know, was no better than a criminal?

    “He fought bravely at the Battle of the Cowshed.” Said somebody.

    “Bravery is no enough,” said Squealer. “Loyalty and obedience are more important”

    Orwell, G. (1945). “Animal Farm”.
