The man's eyes grew glassy and lifeless like some kind of horrible, demented doll. James hadn't meant to do it, but now, he could never take it back.

His heartbeat quickened, pounding in his chest, robbing him of the cold gasps of air he yearned for. His eyes burned with crystalline tears that threatened to spill, cascading down his pale cheeks, stinging from the knifelike winds.

<em>I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.</em>

The moon was hanging in the sky eerily, reminding him of brighter days, better days where it was Apollo, not Artemis that smiled down, sun-kissed rays covering them both.

Better days where he laughed clear, transcendent laughs, so godly James could've sworn it was ichor that flowed through his bloodstream, not blood. Pure gold flowing from his fingertips, painting with the world as his canvas.

He remembered the saccharine nectar that brought back the taste of peaches, bursting with sweet juice that coated their cheeks.

Love was an odd thing, so convoluted, clouded with invisible particles, obscuring your vision. It was constricting at times, tying him down whilst he yearned for freedom, tethered by his own heartstrings. He'd clawed his way out of its confines, but his captor? It was none other than himself.

<em>Oh.</em>

A burning resentment filled his throat, all the words they'd left unspoken, years of memories, his lingering touch.

Why, why, <em>why, </em>did he let it happen? He knew of the betrayal that James would partake in. Yet his face had remained merry, his smile nothing short of sincere.

He knew, and yet he smiled his divine smile, his voice barely able to conceal the hurt the resonated within his soul, echoing through the chambers of his diaphragm.

He knew and he let it happen.

He let the dagger impale his abdomen, the scarlet red blood that should've been ichor blooming, like a flower, opening its petals to the welcome of the sun.

James stared at his stained hands, then back at the cold, empty corpse.

His eyes, they were still open.

Once upon a time, there had been a boy, his heart full of golden dreams and eyes made to match. Light amber brown, like toasted caramels and wheat fields.

Once upon a time, two boys had promised, their pinkies locking in an all-omniscient gesture of forever.

But as James knelt forward, gently touching his fingers to the pallid lids, he supposed he should've known that his golden boy would be the one to make the ultimate sacrifice for his greed.

Enjoy! Please tell me what you think.

Can someone pls explain me Animal farm by george Orwell about each animal and there task? ​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Animal Farm

George Orwell

Table of Contents

Book Summary

One night, all the animals at Mr. Jones' Manor Farm assemble in a barn to hear old Major, a pig, describe a dream he had about a world where all animals live free from the tyranny of their human masters. old Major dies soon after the meeting, but the animals — inspired by his philosophy of Animalism — plot a rebellion against Jones. Two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, prove themselves important figures and planners of this dangerous enterprise. When Jones forgets to feed the animals, the revolution occurs, and Jones and his men are chased off the farm. Manor Farm is renamed Animal Farm, and the Seven Commandments of Animalism are painted on the barn wall.

Initially, the rebellion is a success: The animals complete the harvest and meet every Sunday to debate farm policy. The pigs, because of their intelligence, become the supervisors of the farm. Napoleon, however, proves to be a power-hungry leader who steals the cows' milk and a number of apples to feed himself and the other pigs. He also enlists the services of Squealer, a pig with the ability to persuade the other animals that the pigs are always moral and correct in their decisions.

Later that fall, Jones and his men return to Animal Farm and attempt to retake it. Thanks to the tactics of Snowball, the animals defeat Jones in what thereafter becomes known as The Battle of the Cowshed. Winter arrives, and Mollie, a vain horse concerned only with ribbons and sugar, is lured off the farm by another human. Snowball begins drawing plans for a windmill, which will provide electricity and thereby give the animals more leisure time, but Napoleon vehemently opposes such a plan on the grounds that building the windmill will allow them less time for producing food. On the Sunday that the pigs offer the windmill to the animals for a vote, Napoleon summons a pack of ferocious dogs, who chase Snowball off the farm forever. Napoleon announces that there will be no further debates; he also tells them that the windmill will be built after all and lies that it was his own idea, stolen by Snowball. For the rest of the novel, Napoleon uses Snowball as a scapegoat on whom he blames all of the animals' hardships.

Much of the next year is spent building the windmill. Boxer, an incredibly strong horse, proves himself to be the most valuable animal in this endeavor. Jones, meanwhile, forsakes the farm and moves to another part of the county. Contrary to the principles of Animalism, Napoleon hires a solicitor and begins trading with neighboring farms. When a storm topples the half-finished windmill, Napoleon predictably blames Snowball and orders the animals to begin rebuilding it.

Napoleon's lust for power increases to the point where he becomes a totalitarian dictator, forcing "confessions" from innocent animals and having the dogs kill them in front of the entire farm. He and the pigs move into Jones' house and begin sleeping in beds (which Squealer excuses with his brand of twisted logic). The animals receive less and less food, while the pigs grow fatter. After the windmill is completed in August, Napoleon sells a pile of timber to Jones; Frederick, a neighboring farmer who pays for it with forged banknotes. Frederick and his men attack the farm and explode the windmill but are eventually defeated. As more of the Seven Commandments of Animalism are broken by the pigs, the language of the Commandments is revised: For example, after the pigs become drunk one night, the Commandment, "No animals shall drink alcohol" is changed to, "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess."

Boxer again offers his strength to help build a new windmill, but when he collapses, exhausted, Napoleon sells the devoted horse to a knacker (a glue-boiler). Squealer tells the indignant animals that Boxer was actually taken to a veterinarian and died a peaceful death in a hospital — a tale the animals believe.

Years pass and Animal Farm expands its boundaries after Napoleon purchases two fields from another neighboring farmer, Pilkington. Life for all the animals (except the pigs) is harsh. Eventually, the pigs begin walking on their hind legs and take on many other qualities of their former human oppressors. The Seven Commandments are reduced to a single law: "All Animals Are Equal / But Some Are More Equal Than Others." The novel ends with Pilkington sharing drinks with the pigs in Jones' house. Napoleon changes the name of the farm back to Manor Farm and quarrels with Pilkington during a card game in which both of them try to play the ace of spades. As other animals watch the scene from outside the window, they cannot tell the pigs from the humans.
