Don't you hate it when people blame you for things you didn't do? Well, I do for sure, and that's what happened to the pig, Snowball in George Orwell’s Animal farm.
Snowball, who was a pig, was made a scapegoat for Napoleon and Squealer. The things that Snowball was blamed for are important, but not as important as how he was blamed for them. Snowball was blamed behind his back, for unfortunate things that had happened after he was kicked out of the farm. Napoleon and Squealer would gang up on Snowball, giving Snowball’s name a negative image to the rest of the animals. Napoleon would order Squealer to give elaborate speeches to the animals, in order to manipulate them into thinking poorly of Snowball. I think Napoleon is blaming the things …show more content…
This job relies largely on Squealer, who is able to twist anything he says so that the pigs, and primarily Napoleon, are always in the right. The pigs rewrite history by stretching the truth so that the animals, unaware of what is actually happening, end up believing what's being said by Squealer and the pigs. An example of this is when the Pigs moved into the house and while it might appear that they are violating a tenet of Animalism, Squealer argues that it is a must for the Pigs to have space to work in and plan for the farm's benefit. This is only an example of rewriting history, or Animalism, in order to benefit the pigs whilst the other animals fail to either realize nor act on what is being done. In Chapter 7, Squealer rewrites history by framing Snowball as an agent of Jones, and resulting in letting anyone who agreed with him as an enemy of the farm. Snowball was important the farm's success, but once kicked out Napoleon, Squealer takes advantage of the task of rewriting the picture of Snowball being a bad guy to the farm and ensuring that anyone who is associated with him, or stood up for him will be punished with the death
