Chapter 9,10

Following their seeming victory over Frederick and the animals commence construction on a new
windmill. Boxer despite his split hoof and leads their efforts once more, insisting on working harder and
starting the windmill before retiring.
Food supplies are dwindling, but Squealer points out that they have more food and a better life than
they have ever had. The four sows give birth to 31 piglets, and Napoleon their father, orders that a
schoolroom be built for their education. Meanwhile, the animals' feeds are being cut more and more,
although the pigs continue to gain weight. The Republic of Animal Farm is established, and Napoleon is
elected President.Boxer works as hard as he can to repair his hoof once it has healed.
Years pass, and Animal Farm sees its last transformation. Jones dies in an inebriates' home, along with
Muriel, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher. Clover is 14 years old and has not yet retired despite the fact that
she is two years older than the retirement age. No animal has ever done so. Thanks to the purchase of
two of Pilkington's fields, the farm now has more animals and its limits have expanded. The second
windmill is now operational and is used to grind grain. With the exception of the pigs, all of the animals
continue to suffer hard lives with little nourishment.
Clover witnesses a startling sight one evening a Squealer walking on his hind legs. Other pigs trail
behind, heading in the same direction, and Napoleon comes from the farmhouse holding a sack.

naivety, in addition to his tireless work ethic.

the pigs and the dogs benefited but none of other animals
