On October 12th, the animals of Animal Farm, previously named Manor Farm, once again drove Mr. Jones out of his own farm. The news of the animals first rebellion, where Mr. Jones, his wife, and his men were all driven and kept out of his farm, started to spread to animals who live on nearby farms. Mr. Pilkington of the neighboring Foxwood Farm and Mr. Frederick of adjoining Pinchfield Farm were afraid of their animals taking over their farms. This fear led the two farmers to spread rumors about how dysfunctional Animal Farm is. Some of the animals on these neighboring farms started to act out of character by not following all of the rules. When these rumors proved to be false once and for all, Mr. Jones, his men, and half a dozen of Mr. Pilkington’s

All of the animals took their assigned places. As the men approached the farm, Snowball called for thirty-five pigeons to poo on the men from up in the air, while the geese, who had been hiding behind the hedges, rushed out and viciously pecked at their calves. The men easily shook off the geese and thought that they were on the road to victory. This turned out just to be a simple diversion tactic.

Now, that is what true sacrifice entails! We planted a hawthorn bush at her grave too.
Squealer: Snowball gave a small speech about our dead comrade. We decided to honor Snowball and Boxer with the military honor “Animal Hero, First Class”. They were each given a brass medal that is to be worn on Sundays and holidays. The sheep was also posthumously awarded with the honor “Animal Hero, Second Class”.
Napoleon: We all discussed what the name of our amazing battle should be called. We decided on the name Battle of the Cowshed, since that was where the ambush commenced. We found Mr. Jones’s gun in the mud, and decided to set it up at the foot of the flagstaff. We also decided to fire it twice a year. It will be fired every October 12th to honor our victory, and on Midsummer Day, which is the anniversary of the
