In Chapter 6 of "Animal Farm," Squealer plays a crucial role as the chief propagandist for the pigs. He manipulates language and information to control the other animals' perceptions, justifying the pigs' actions and decisions, such as the construction of the windmill and the trade with humans. Squealer's persuasive speeches serve to maintain the pigs' authority and ensure that the other animals remain loyal and confused about the true nature of their circumstances. His role highlights the themes of Propaganda and the distortion of truth in the pursuit of power.
Squealer calls Napoleon by the name of Leader. That can be seen in the early pages of Chapter 6. "It was also more suited to the dignity of the Leader (for of late Squealer had taken to speaking of Napoleon under the title of 'Leader') to live in a house than in a mere sty." (Animal Farm, Chapter 6) Squealer is telling all the animals that the pigs should live in the farmhouse due to the fact that they work "harder" than all the other animals on the farm.
In Chapter 6 of "Animal Farm," Squealer's task is to manipulate the other animals' perceptions and maintain control over the narrative. He spreads propaganda to justify the pigs' decisions, particularly the decision to engage in trade with humans, which contradicts the original commandments of Animalism. Squealer uses persuasive language and fear tactics to quell dissent and ensure the animals remain loyal to the leadership. His role is crucial in maintaining the pigs' power and keeping the truth obscured.

In Chapter 9 of George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Squealer spreads lies about Boxer’s fate after he collapses while working. He falsely claims that Boxer is being taken to a veterinarian, but in reality, he is sold to a glue factory. Squealer manipulates the narrative to maintain the animals' trust in their leadership, insisting that the van carrying Boxer is from a veterinary service, despite the visible words on the side indicating otherwise. This deception highlights the exploitation and betrayal of the loyal workhorse by the ruling pigs.
In Chapter 7 of "Animal Farm," Squealer portrays Snowball as a traitor and a scapegoat for the farm's problems. He claims that Snowball is secretly collaborating with the humans and sabotaging the animals' efforts, using propaganda to instill fear and maintain control. This manipulation serves to reinforce Napoleon's power and distract the other animals from their own hardships, painting Snowball as a constant threat to their safety and well-being. Squealer's rhetoric effectively shifts blame and unites the animals against a common enemy.
