How do the animals discover the truth of what has happened and what is the pigs explanation in animal farm?
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the animals gradually discover the truth about the pigs' manipulation through their experiences and observations, particularly as they notice the discrepancies between the original commandments and the pigs' actions. The pigs, especially Napoleon, explain their actions by claiming that they are acting in the animals' best interests and that the challenges they face require certain sacrifices. They continually alter the commandments to justify their behavior, ultimately leading the animals to doubt their memories and accept the pigs' distorted version of reality. This manipulation culminates in the chilling realization that the pigs have become indistinguishable from the humans they once overthrew.
How are the pigs able to break the Commandments without a general outcry from the rest of the animals?

In Animal Farm how does reducing the Seven Commandments reflect Orwell's ideas about totalitarianism?
In "Animal Farm," the gradual reduction of the Seven Commandments symbolizes the manipulation of language and truth by totalitarian regimes to consolidate power. As the pigs alter the commandments to justify their actions, it illustrates how those in authority can distort ideals to maintain control and suppress dissent. This reflects George Orwell’s critique of totalitarianism, highlighting how oppressive governments can erode democratic principles and moral integrity to serve their interests. Ultimately, it demonstrates the ease with which power can corrupt and the fragility of collective ideals in the face of authoritarianism.
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."
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.
How do you put for example into a sentence?
The seven commandments also got corrupt because the pigs manipulated these rules, so that the pigs have more power, for example: the pigs traded with other farmers, they would drink alcohol and thought that they were "more equal" than the other farm animals.
How do the pigs violate the original seven commandments and what is clovers reaction?
The pigs violate the original seven commandments of Animalism by altering them to justify their actions, such as changing "All animals are equal" to "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Clover, witnessing these changes and the pigs' increasingly human-like behavior, feels betrayed and confused. She recalls the original ideals of the revolution and becomes increasingly disillusioned as she realizes the pigs have become the very oppressors they sought to overthrow. Her reaction reflects a deep sense of loss and disappointment in the corruption of their initial goals.
What are 7 commandments of animalism What do the pigs teach themselves to do that humans can do Do you believe this make pigs liars or should they allowed to How does the behavior of the pigs foreshad?
The Seven Commandments of Animalism in George Orwell's "Animal Farm" include principles such as "All animals are equal" and "No animal shall drink alcohol." The pigs teach themselves to walk on two legs, engage in trade, and learn to read and write, emulating human behaviors. This transformation raises questions about their integrity, as it blurs the line between oppressor and oppressed, suggesting that they may be liars. The pigs' behavior foreshadows their eventual betrayal of the other animals, leading to a corrupted version of the original ideals of the revolution.
