Chapter Five Squealers speech 1st Person: Napoleon

Mmm? I wonder wether he will stay loyal to me or if he will buckle under the pressure of lying to a large group of people. He usually struck me as being a loyal pig, but so did Snowball at the start. In fact we were pretty good friends at the start. It’s a shame really, but he was to vocal for my liking. Well let’s just hope squealer stays on the right track because I can’t end up getting rid of two high ranking pigs. That might even start to raise the suspicion of these less intelligent animals. “Comrades said Squealer proudly I must inform you that the idea of the windmill was originally Napoleons great idea”.I panicked at the fact that they might not be able to understand why I would originally object. My worry was heightened when one of them spoke “Why did Napoleon go against it at the start then”. I started to burn up. I could feel my body weakening. Finally Squealer spoke. “That fellow comrades, was Napoleons cunning”. I sighed in relief.

    Hello Peter,
    I think you have really understood the character of Napoleon and the hold he has over each of the animals. Did you intend for Napoleon to refer to the other animals as ‘people’? Your use of vocabulary is consistent throughout – how might you develop this to make Napoleon seem more arrogant and snidey?

    How Napoleon struggle to keep power over the more intelligent animals, such as Squealer and the other pigs?
