Animal Farm Chapter 8: Why did Squealer think that Napoleon was dying? What actually happened to Napoleon?

Answer and Explanation:

"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella written by George Orwell. The animals take over the farm where they live, kicking out their human owner. Their intention is to start a new type of society, where all animals are free and equal. The story serves as criticism to the Soviet regime in Russia, after the Russian Revolution. The pigs, among them Napoleon and Squealer, become the dominant class for being more intelligent than the other animals.

Why did Squealer think that Napoleon was dying?

In Chapter 8, Napoleon was feeling unwell. No one had ever seen Napoleon that sick before - quite the opposite, he was usually very healthy. For that reason, Squealer went around announcing Napoleon was dying.

What actually happened to Napoleon?

Napoleon was simply hungover due to his first experience consuming alcohol. At first, the animals avoided doing anything that was habitual of humans. However, as the pigs become more and more like humans in their way of commanding the other animals, they also begin to experiment human customs. They begin to sleep in beds, to sit at the table to eat, and one day they drink alcohol. They obviously get drunk, and the hangover that comes afterward is something new to them.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
