The animals work harder than they did for the human because they are working for themselves and their brothers and sisters as opposed to for an elitist group. The animals design their own flag, and once a week holds a ceremony of raising it to commemorate their victory and newfound freedoms. Snowball decides to create a phrase for the animals that cannot remember the seven rules: “four legs good, two legs bad”. The sheep take to the phrase and decide to repeat it at random times, which they do for the rest of the book. Napoleon takes the pups from the dogs that gave birth, and the pigs explain to the animals that they need all the apples, or else they would not be smart enough to keep Mr. Jones away.
The News of the animal’s rebellion spreads, and Mr. Jones decides to go with some allies to try to oust the animals, but fails because of Snowball’s ingenuity and heroics. Both Snowball and Boxer receive medals for their service.
Molly becomes increasingly insubordinate, and eventually leaves, never to return. Snowball invents the idea of a windmill, and makes blueprints. During a meeting to decide if the windmill should be built Snowball all but convinces the other animals when Napoleon makes a whimper that calls the dogs he raised to throw out Snowball, who makes it out alive but can no longer live in the farm. Through Squealer the animals not only accept Snowball’s expulsion but also accept Napoleon as the new leader.
