             After decades of the animals being suppressed they have a meeting in the barn. Mr. Jones, the drunken human owner of the farm, is sleeping soundly in his bed. The oldest animal there, Old Major, who is a pig, talks of their submissive existence in which man uses their labour for his benefit all the while abusing them. He next talks about Animalism; a government in which Animals rule themselves without humans for the benefit of animals. The animals begin a revolution in which Mr. Jones is forcibly banished from the farm.
             The pigs quickly learn to read and write. They write commandments for all animals to follow and for the good of all animals. The pigs organize the animals to run the farm. The animals do very well in doing so.
             Mr. Jones tries to retake the farm, but Snowball's clever defence fights off Mr. Jones. The conflict between Snowball and Napoleon builds up when Snowball proposes that a windmill be built. Napoleon takes over and banishes Snowball.
