Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is set in England during the 1900s where a group of animals, under the control of Mr. Jones, devise a plan known as the Rebellion, to take over the farm. After months of secret planning had gone by, the animals finally feel prepared to begin the Rebellion. The Rebellion started when Mr. Jones began whipping the animals after they had broken into the hay bin. The animals retaliated by kicking and butting Mr. Jones and his workers. The humans flee resulting in a victory for the animals.
This triumph led to a change in leadership, rules, and the name of the farm. Two pigs 9named Napoleon and Snowball came forward to lead the farm. Manor Farm is renamed to Animal Farm, and they also establish rules known as the Seven Commandments, which prohibit any animal from acting like a human. However, Napoleon has a different vision for the farm. He eradicates Snowball and takes over the leadership of the farm.
