But they had not gone twenty yards when they stopped short. An uproar of voices was coming from the farmhouse. They rushed backn and looked through the window agai. Yes, a violent quarrel was in progress. There were shoutings. bangings on the table, sharp suspicious glances, furious denials, the source of the toruble appeared to be that Napoleon and Mr. Pilkington had each palyed an ace of spades simultaneously. Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, no, what had happened to that faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again ; but already it was impossible to say shich was which.

This passage from the novel was very meaningful to me because the last sentence of the passage had a metaphor in it. The sentence "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again ; but already it was impossible to say which was which. , it meant that pigs were actually acting just like how human did. Pigs violated all seven commandments which were 1. Whateever goes uponm two legs is an enemy. 2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. 3. No animal shall wear clothes. 4. No animal shall sleep in bed. 5. No animal shall drink alcohol. 6. No animal shall kill any other animal. 7. All animals are equal. And if you do the opposite way of seven commandments, you are actually a human and there was a also rank/class in the animal society too. That is why Napoleon forced other animals to work for his own benefit. It is just like a dictator in soviet union, Stalin. I learned about Stalin in geography class so I know little thing about Stalin. The author of Animal Farm, George Orwell
wrote this novel in metaphor form. He described each single animal in Stalin's society.
