#4. Snowball is chased out by Napoleon and his dogs.

This is a pivotal moment in this book because it means that Napolean and Squealer lose all strong oppositan toward them. This allows them to remain in control throughout the rest of the book, as their only intelligent oppositian is Benjamin, who thinks things will always reamin the same forever.

The windmill represents the hopes and projects of the people in Russia after the Communist shift.

#2. The cows are beign whipped by Mr. Jones, so they rebel and attack. This prompts the other animals to attack in addition, and the farmers are driven out of Manor Farm. Shortly before the rebellion, Old Major dies. Then, the animals create the 7 Commandments of Animalism.

This is an example of how powerful language is. Old Major's speech plants ideas in the animal's heads about rebellion, and soon the animals take over the farm.
