The Climax (Animal Farm) #2


What is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of
this novel make you feel?
In the book “Animal Farm,” disagreement between Snowball and Napoleon builds up the climax. The climax of this novel is when Napoleon, one of the leaders of the pigs, make Snowball, the other pig go out of the farm so that Napoleon can have power over the entire farm. Napoleon uses his trained dogs to make Snowball go out because the dogs had a great power, or the actual strength. Over a problem, Napoleon and Snowball had disagreed about each other’s opinion and because of disagreement, the conflict between them have started. Moreover, basically, this situation changes everything around the farm because, now Napoleon and the other pigs want to have power over and from this point, it cannot go back to the old days. The climax of the story is actually very interesting to me, because, in now days, the government doing like the climax. If one of the governmental people has power, then most of other governmental people follow after the guy and kicks governmental people who disagree with him, who have power. In addition, it is interesting that pigs use trained dogs to kick Snowball out, in now days; governmental people use gangsters around and pay them to kick governmental people who disagree. Moreover, it makes me sad too, because in the book, other animals had to obey pigs and in reality, same thing goes on. If government has problem, we could protest but unless a lot of people are involved, the citizens cannot argue with the government. However, it is good that countries are developing and governments try their best to have no conflict with the citizens. The climax of the story was unexpected for me because I thought Napoleon and Snowball will keep cooperating with each other. Since Napoleon had the trained dogs, I thought Snowball had some secret animals that he owned. So it was a bit shocking but it was predictable because if people have two arguments, one of them have to lose. So the climax was interesting, sad but fun.
