Chapter X
The chapter depicts the passage of time on Animal Farm, where most original Rebellion participants have died or been forgotten. Only Clover, Benjamin, Moses, and the pigs remain as living links to the past. The farm has expanded with new animals who know little of the Rebellion's history, while the original ideals have eroded. Napoleon and the pigs live luxuriously, contrasting sharply with the other animals' hard lives. The windmill, once promised to bring modern comforts, now serves only to enrich the…-

The animals' confusion underscores their vulnerability to…-

Chapter VII – Conclusion

Instead, he turned to…-

Chapter VI – Disintegration
Chapter VI - Disintegration unfolds the final moments of the Moravian mission in Georgia, closing a chapter that had started with profound optimism. While the settlers had arrived with high aspirations of building a peaceful, faith-centered community, the reality of political pressure, health crises, and ideological clashes proved too great a burden.

Chapter VI
The animals toiled relentlessly throughout the year, driven by the belief that their labor benefited their own community rather than exploitative humans. Despite grueling hours, including voluntary Sunday work enforced by ration cuts, they fell behind on tasks like sowing crops, foreshadowing a harsh winter. The windmill construction posed unexpected challenges, particularly breaking limestone boulders without human tools. Through collective ingenuity, they devised a method using gravity—dragging…-

Chapter IV – Reinforcements
Chapter IV - Reinforcements begins with a pivotal change in direction for the Moravian Church’s expansion efforts. By 1740, after careful reflection on earlier experiences, the Church leaders determined that Pennsylvania, rather than Georgia, would provide a more promising environment for their next missionary company. This decision arose from both practical and spiritual considerations, as Pennsylvania’s religious tolerance, growing German population, and fertile social conditions better aligned with…-
