Which animal in Animal Farm switches the commandments?
It is the pigs who changes the commandments to their convenience. Squealer is once found fallen of a ladder, and so it is believed that he does this at least once. This might also be because he is the one who is best at talking for himself.
Who created the 7 commandments in animal farm?
The Seven Commandments were originally established by Old Major (Karl Marx) in his speech on Animalism (communism) at the beginning of the story to the other animals. The animals commit these Commandments to memory and live their lives by them. It is not until later on, that Napoleon (Stalin) comes into power and slowly abolishes these commandments.
Who teaches the sheep to chant four legs good and two legs bad?
Squealer teaches the sheep to chant, "For legs good, two legs bad", because they are too ignorant to learn all of the commandments. He then changes this chant to, "Four legs good, two legs better" after the pigs begin to march out of the farmhouse on two legs portraying the humans they once overthrew towards the end of the novel.
In Animal Farm how is the character Squealer sneaky?
Squealer represents the media. Squealer continually changes his story in order to get the animals to believe what Napoleon wants them to believe. Every time the animals think that things are not right, Squealer comes to tell them a new story that explains how everything is ok. For example, when the animals see the pigs breaking the "No Animal Shall Sleep in a Bed" commandment, Squealer alters the story slightly to "No Animal Shall Sleep in a bed with sheets" making the pigs in compliance with the rules of Animal Farm.

Why were the 7 commandments shortened in animal farm?
1. Whatever goes upon 2 legs is an enemy.- The pigs start dealing with humans and end up walking on 2 legs.2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.- The pigs end up thinking any animal that walks on four legs or has wings in inferior.3. No animal shall wear clothes.- The pigs all end up wearing clothes.4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.- Squealer changes this to 'No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets' because they decided to sleep on the humans beds.5. No animal shall drink alcohol.- Squealer changes this to 'No animal shall drink alcohol to excess' and end up getting drunk often.6. No animal shall kill any other animal.- Squealer changes this to 'No animal shall kill any other animal without cause'. Napoleon sentences anyone who was thought to be plotting against him (though he has no evidence) to death. Boxer is sent off to be killed and turned into glue when he breaks a leg.7. All animals are equal.- Squealer changes this to 'All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others'. It is very obvious that the pigs come out on top and order everyone around.
How were the commandments in Animal Farm broken?
Almost immediately after the Commandments are written the cows have to be milked. The milk they produce is taken by the pigs exclusively so the seventh Commandment seems to be undermined from the very beginning. When the pigs also start claiming the windfall apples, Squealer explains that they are not taking them as privilege but because science has shown that milk and apples are necessary for the pigs' "brain work". This at least satisfies the animals that they are equal to the pigs but it does not fool the reader. The first two Commandments are subtly broken in the first years of Animal Farm but there is no attempt to rewrite them. Snowball, the hero of the Battle of the Cowshed, becomes an enemy of the farm after his expulsion by Napoleon, while the resumption of trade via Mr Whymper causes some discussion but, as Squealer points out, trade was not banned in writing and Mr Whymper is not treated as a friend. The first alteration to the Commandments comes after the pigs move back into the farmhouse. The ban on sleeping in beds is changed in Napoleon's favour by the addition of the words "with sheets". At this point in the history of the farm the pigs do not quite have enough power to do what they like and Squealer is forced to change the Commandments to fit new circumstances. But sleeping in beds is a minor matter compared to murder, and the next alteration to the Commandments is far more shocking. After the failures of the winter and the collapse of the first windmill, the pigs use Snowball as scapegoat. This leads to the 'show trials' in which animals 'confess' to crimes inspired by Snowball. The horrific executions that follow are in direct contradiction of the original sixth Commandment but when this is checked the words "without cause" have been added. Napoleon's selfish behaviour is the cause of the alteration to the fifth Commandment. When he and the other pigs get drunk, Napoleon's hangover is a cause for alarm but all that eventually happens is that the words "to excess" are added to the Commandment. It is at this point that Squealer's part in the changes to the Commandments is revealed to the reader as he falls off the ladder he was using to reach the barn wall. After this incident, more and more of the farm's resources are diverted to the provision of alcohol for the pigs. The sale of Boxer's body to the knackers results in the delivery of a crate of fine food and alcohol. No minor alteration is ever made to the third Commandment about wearing clothes. This is because by the time the pigs adopt clothes they are so powerful, and the other animals are so fearful, that it is unnecessary. Instead, all pretence of "unalterable laws" is abandoned and the Commandments are replaced by the meaningless slogan "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

How can the Old Testament be a moral guide to christians today?
There are many commandments and instructions in the Old Testament, including the Ten Commandments. God says He never changes, He's the same yesterday, today and forever, so the commands and instructions are applicable to us today.
How is napoleon sneaky in Animal Farm?
He steals Bluebell and Jessie's puppies and claims that he will "educate them". Actually, he trained them to be mean and vicious dogs that could be used as his and Squealer's personal escort. He also steals the milk right at the beginning of the novel, and then continues to change the core principles of animalism to his will throughout. Eg. He kills animals, drinks, sleeps in beds and changes the rules so that he is allowed to do this. He uses Squealer to make sure the animals believe him too.
