I read chapter 2 of Animal Farm by George Orwell. In this chapter Old Major dies. He died in his sleep three nights after his speech. For three months the animals make secret preparations to carry out the old pig's dying wish of gaining control of the farm from Mr. Jones. The work of teaching and organizing falls to the pigs, the cleverest of the animals, and especially to two pigs named Napoleon and Snowball. Together with a silver-tongued pig named Squealer, they formulate the principles of a philosophy called Animalism, the fundamentals of which they spread among the other animals. The animals call one another “Comrade” and take their quandaries to the pigs, who answer their questions about the Rebellion. The pigs' most troublesome opponent is Moses, the raven. One day, Mr. Jones goes on a drinking binge and forgets to feed the animals. They couldn't stand their hunger, the cows break into the store shed and the animals begin to eat. Mr. Jones and his men discover the transgression and begin to whip the cows. This made them angry, the animals turn on the men, attack them, and easily chase them from the farm. This is a summary of what happened in the second chapter
