Further resourceshttp://www.slidegeeks.com/powerpoint-templates/94So youve read Animal Farm?What now?This may seem like a pretty simple story about a bunch of crazy farm animals, but do you really think thats all George Orwell meant to tell us? Authors take a lot of time planning out their stories, and nothing is ever as simple as it seems. If youve wandered about a deeper meaning to a story, the author probably has wandered about it too.

http://www.slidegeeks.com/powerpoint-templates/8The battle of the windmillThe whole farm is deeply divided on the subject of the windmill. Snowball wants to rebuild and expand while Napoleon works against him.

http://www.slidegeeks.com/powerpoint-templates/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ai_IvT9rFQ10snowballSnowball must challenge Napoleon for control of the farm after the Rebellion. Snowball more easily wins the allegiance of the other animals. Snowball is full of ideology and grand ideas, like the windmill, but he lacks the physical strength of Napoleon.
