CHAPTER 3: 'THE TURNING POINT OF THE STORY'

George Orwell says that the incident with the milk and the
apples was the turning point of the story. Do you think that
this is really a key event in Animal Farm? why?, why not? ???

This book is beautiful. I love history and is amazing how George
Orwell Russian history has transmitted it. The characters
perfectly reflect the personality of the characters who
participated in the revolution.

I think so, because this incident with milk and apples is a sign
of an absolutist "government" by the pigs as they are putting
their welfare as a priority rather than the welfare of the other
animals, and including threats and terms: "Do you know what
would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come
back! Yes, Jones would come back!". I also believe that this is
an important point because it is a fact that will matter later
in the story, perhaps as a sign of the return of the mandate of
the man, or a new being that is fast becoming as man.

Yes, of course! That was the first signal in the book that show
that the pigs decided to placed themselves on top of farm's
animal society. I consider it like the turning point of the
history because if they had not done that, perhaps they had not
transformed that farm in hell for all other animals. But also we
can see another important topic: why they stayed with the milk
and the apples? Only because Major was a pig? I think that the
power of being the leader of a society always becomes corrupt
those who possess it, exactly the same condicions of some
governments in the world nowadays .

Of course! In this part of the story, we can see how the pigs
are stating their power and their way to "lead" the farm because
they are establishing their well-being above that of other
animals. So...obviusly, this is an important part in this book,
that also could be consider as a warning of what is coming in
the Animal Farm.

Yes, of course! ;D . Because the pigs are slowly changing into
a new form of their old oppressors.When Squealer explains to the
animals why the pigs have been getting all the milk and apples,
he reveals his rhetorical skill and ability to "skip from side
to side" to convince the animals that the pigs greed is actually
a great sacrifice. "It is for your sake that we drink that milk
and eat those apples," Squealer explains, and his dazzling
pseudo-logic persuades the murmuring animals that the pigs are,
in fact, selfless. Bad pigs >:(

I think if I cause for this fact that pigs who represent an
absolutist government. Besides the pigs they are only concerned
in their welfare aside the damages that may result in other
animals. Therefore I consider the incident of milk and apples as
the turning point because if he had not passed the farm might
not have started to preentar ideas of rebellion :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

Yes, because the milk and the apples represent a absolutist
government that have the pigs, because despite having
supposedly changed from "government" for the good of all animals
pigs are becoming the same thing as was Jones because they are
carrying a whole part of the production giving something
incoherent reasons but animals accept this by their little posse
reasoning. ;)

Yes, I do. I think that because maybe as pigs are those ones
that governed the Animal Farm they think that are the uniques
that can eat apples and drink milk because of their work in the
barn. But as George Onwell said this little aspect could
generate some doubts in the other animals' mind and maybe they
could take this situation like an injustice that come from their
governors, the pigs.
