He suggests that this is imaginary and probably due to lies spread by Snowball. He also asks them how they can be sure they did not dream it, since there is no record in writing and no proof of such a resolution.
Propaganda When the animals remember passing a resolution in the early days never to use the farmhouse, Squealer is again able to convince them that they are imagining it. He emphasizes that it is necessary for the pigs as brainworkers to have a quiet place to work, and that it is unsuitable for the Leader Napoleon to be living in an undignified sty.
He convinces them that there can never have been a ruling against beds, since a bed is simply a place to sleep and even a pile of straw must count as a bed - he says the rule was against sheets, which are a human invention, and that the pigs have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds. He says the pigs need a comfortable place to sleep because of all the brainwork they have to do, and asks whether the animals want the pigs to be too tired to carry out their duties, and whether they want Jones to come back.
Propaganda When the windmill blows down in a gale, Napoleon prevents the pigs from looking stupid for building the walls too thin. He claims that Snowball crept in overnight and broke the windmill apart.
He also has a pig leave footprints in the grass leading to the hedge, so that he can 'discover' them in front of the animals, sniff them and announce that they are Snowball's. This lends credibility to his story. Propaganda Napoleon does not want the humans to realize that the animals are starving, so he persuades Whymper that there is more than enough food. Previously no animals have had contact with Whymper, but Napoleon orders a few of them, mostly sheep, to casually mention to each other that rations have been increased when Whymper is nearby.
He also arranges for the nearly empty storage bins to be filled up with sand, which is then covered with what remains of the grain and meal.
He finds an excuse to lead Whymper through the storage shed, so that Whymper is deceived into thinking the bins are all full and reports to the outside world that the animals have plenty of food. During the major shortage at the end of January, Napoleon avoids making appearances in public, and makes sure he is guarded by a number of dogs whether he is inside the farmhouse or somewhere on the farm.
Propaganda Squealer manages to convince the animals that whereas they remember Snowball fighting heroically at the Battle of the Cowshed, he was in fact on the other side.
He does this by telling them that the pigs have found secret documents proving it - he tells Boxer he could show him evidence of the plot in Snowball's own handwriting, but Boxer would not be able to read it since Boxer only knows the first four letters of the alphabet. The animals remember seeing Snowball wounded by Jones's gun, but Squealer tells them it was part of the arrangement and the shot only grazed him. He asks them if they don't remember Snowball signaling them all to turn and run away at the key moment which in fact happened, since Snowball had arranged to lead the men into the cowshed by pretending to run away and then ambushing them.
Squealer describes Snowball's cowardice at the scene of the battle, and Napoleon's imaginary bravery, in such detail that it seems to the animals they do remember these things. When Boxer still refuses to believe that Snowball was already a traitor at the Battle of the Cowshed, Squealer changes his mind by telling him that Napoleon says so. Propaganda Napoleon bans the song 'Beasts of England' and replaces it with a new song praising the glories of Animal Farm.
Squealer explains the action by saying that 'Beasts of England' is outdated because it was a song wishing for freedom and the animals now have their freedom and no longer need the song.
Some of the animals might have protested, but the sheep, Napoleon's most devoted followers, start bleating 'Four legs good, two legs bad' over and over again and put an end to the discussion. Propaganda When the animals become upset because they are always hungry, Squealer starts reading to them every Sunday from long strips of paper, telling them that the production of every type of food on the farm has increased by two, three or even five hundred percent.
The animals do not remember very well what conditions were like under Jones, so they do not dispute this. Propaganda As Napoleon leans towards selling the timber to Pilkington rather than Frederick, anti-Frederick rumors begin to abound. Some of them are that Frederick is planning to take over Animal Farm with a group of armed men and has already bribed the magistrates and police to let it happen; and that Frederick tortures and starves his animals.
Napoleon tells the pigeons that he sends out to neighboring farms to drop their slogan of 'Death to Humanity' and replace it with 'Death to Frederick'.
Propaganda Now that the animals have finally accepted Squealer's version of the Battle of the Cowshed and remember this as the true version, he is able to convince them further that they are still remembering things wrong and Snowball was in fact criticized for his cowardice in the battle.
Propaganda When Napoleon changes his mind and sells the timber to Frederick, all the stories are immediately changed so that the animals will not think that Napoleon has acted inconsistently.
He tells them that the rumors of an attack are totally untrue, that he has been in agreement with Frederick secretly the whole time, and that the rumors of cruelty to animals on Pinchfield probably originated with Snowball, who is not at Pinchfield after all, but has been living in luxury at Foxwood for years. He says he only pretended to be friendly with Pilkington to get Frederick to raise his price. What are some examples of propaganda in Animal Farm?

Characteristics of all Propaganda. In some cases, it is also used to spread information and rumors about someone or something.
It makes the audience scared that. More on the following page! In Animal Farm, propaganda was frequently used by the three main pigs Napoleon, Squealer and Snowball to persuade the animals to agree with their ideas and decisions. When the windmill was knocked down, Napoleon used propaganda by hiding the truth to explain why Snowball was to blame on destroying the windmill. Napoleon frequently provided false information to the other animals to persuade them that he made the farm highly successful.
For example, Napoleon told the animals that although the van which took the injured Boxer away had the words "Horse slaughter" on it, the truck was actually taking Boxer to the hospital.
He explained that the truck was previously owned by the knackers, but is used by the hospital, who did not bother removing the words on the truck. Napoleon and Snowball opposed each other before and on the day of elections for a leader because both of them wished to become the leader, but the farm could only have one leader. Therefore, the pigs used propaganda to persuade the other animals to vote for them, such as using the mottos "Vote for Snowball and the three-day week" and "Vote for Napoleon and full manger" pg.
The pigs knew that the animals would have definitely not wanted Mr. Jones to come back, so the pigs used it to their advantage to create effective propaganda. All of the animals became afraid whenever the pigs said they needed a certain thing, or accomplish a certain task, or else Mr. Jones would come back and reconquer the farm. Therefore, the animals had no other choice but to agree with all of the pig's decisions.
Napoleon manipulated information about himself by changing it to trick the animals into believing that he was the one who accomplished all of the outstanding things on the farm. For instance, Napoleon told the other animals that he was the one who actually thought of building the windmill, when in fact, Snowball was the one who originally thought of that idea.
Glittering Generalities. Throughout Animal Farm by George Orwell, the pigs use glittering generalities to make themselves sound much better than the other animals, gaining many privileges over the other animals.
