Reporter(me): I am here today at the conspicuous Animal Farm. I have someone here who thinks they can inform us of this peculiar place. Now, what is your name?
Boxer: My name is Boxer.
Reporter(me): And what is it you do here Boxer?
Boxer: I help around the farm lifting heavy things such as rocks for the windmill.
Reporter(me): A windmill? Who came up with that idea?
Boxer: Our Leader, Napolean did.
Reporter(me): Well he sounds like a very smart animal. What kind of animal is he?
Boxer: He's a pig.
Reporter(me): And why is he the leader? Did you appoint him or did he appoint himself?
Boxer: I'm not sure..
Reporter(me):You're not sure? Then how did he become the leader?
Boxer:Well we had 2 leaders before: Snowball and Napolean. These 2 worked togeteher for a long time until Napolean had the dogs chase Snowball off the land. We haven't seen him since.
Reporter(me): And how do you feel about this?
Boxer: I think Napolean was right to chase Snowball away.
Reporter(me): Now why do you say that?
Boxer: Well he told us ofall the mischief he's caused on he farm, and that he had an alliance with the humans.
Reporter(me): What kind of stories?
Boxer: Well most of them are about how Snowball would a sneak onto the farm at night and wreak havoc. The worst one though was the one where Snowball destroyed the first windmill that we made.
Reporter(me): And do you believe Napolean's accusations?
Boxer: Of course! Napolean's always right!

I am going to interview Boxer- He was loyal to Napolean and ends up getting betrayed by him.
Interview:
Q #1- Tyler: What was the reason for the rebellion on Manor Farm?
A #1- Boxer: Our lives were miserable, we worked long hours with little food. Mr. Jones had no regard for our safety or health.
Q #2- Tyler: Were all of the animals in favor of the rebellon?
A #2- Boxer: No, Moses, the raven promoted his idea of Sugarcandy mountain, this is a place where all the animals go when they die. However, the pigs got the other animals to go along with their idea of the rebellion.
Q #3- Tyler: What role did you play in helping with Animal Farm?
A #3- Boxer: I worked endless hours to help with the harvest and without my help with the windmill it would never have been completed. My motto was "I will work harder and Napoleon is always right."
Q #4- Tyler: Now, do you think Napoleon was always right?
A #4 - Boxer: absolutely, No. We were all blinded by Napolean and his misgivings. He was not right to disregard the Commandments.
Q #5- Tyler: What are some qualities of a good leader?
A #5- Boxer: A leader is someone who keeps his word, looks out for his fellow comrades. A good leader is not selfish and does not take on the roll of being better than everyone else.
Q #6- Tyler: Do you think Napolean was a good leader?
A #6- Boxer: My motto of, Napoleon is always right, was so wrong. I regret the day that we allowed him to manipulate the animals of the farm.
Q #7- Tyler: What happened to the pig, Snowball?
A #7- Boxer: He was run off the farm by Napolean; he had his attack dogs go after him. Snowball was never to be seen again.
Q #8- Tyler: Do you feel Snowball would have made a better leader?
A #8- Boxer: Absolutely, he wanted equality for all animals. Whereas, Napolean only looked out for himself.
Q #9- Tyler: What is your biggest regret?
A #9- Boxer: My biggest regret was being so loyal to a ruthless pig.
Q #10- Tyler: Do you believe that Napolean will allow you to rest and enjoy your retirement after all of the hard work you put on the farm?
A #10- Boxer: No, I don't believe that I will ever get a days rest, and once Napolean is done with me, he will ship me off to the highest bidder.
Thank you Boxer for your honest answers and we wish you all the best.
1. reporter: Do you believe you were right to kick Jones out and create the animal farm?
Clover: Ofcourse, we deserve our own freedom.
2. reporter: So then what do you enjoy most about the freedom you have earned.
Clover: I enjoy working for myself. It is a lot easier waking up and going to work if you know all the benefits are your own.
3. reporter: If you could change anything about the way animal farm is ran would you? what would you change?
Clover: I would like to receive a larger ration of food.
4. reporter: Why are you not receiving sufficient amount of food?
Clover: Because we were busy building the windmill, as well as the school, we didn't have the amount of time we'd like to farm.
5. reporter: Then do you believe life was simpler with Jones running it?
Clover: No. as squealer told us, with Jones our rations were even less, so i shouldn't be complaining.
6. reporter: What is the thing you dislike most about humans?
Clover: That they are lazy, and reap the benefits from other animals and give us nothing in return.
7. reporter: I'm sorry about Boxer, but what do you believed really happened to him?
Clover: Clover was taken to the hospital were he peacfully past away.
8. reporter: Don't you believe that's little coincidental?
Clover: No. why would comrade Napoleon ever want to harm Boxer?
9. reporter: Comrade Napoleon has killed others, why do you think Boxer is any different?
Clover: Because Boxer was a loyal companion to Napoleon and a very strong worker, Napoleon has never done wrong to anyone.
10. reporter: If you had the chance to rebel all over again would you?
Clover: Ofcourse.

Benjamin the donkey
Q-did you want to rebell from Mr. Jones?
A-i thought it was a good idea and it would be nice to not be ruled by him anymore.
Q-do you think everyone was completley prepared for it?
A- no it just happened one day when we were hungary. i think things would have worked better if we had more plans
Q-how did you feel when the pigs kind of took charge and placed themselves in leadership roles?
A-i felt a little uneasy about it but no one really cares what an old donkey has to say so i didn't speak up.
Q-did you ever feel like the pigs were going to change as much as they did?
A-not really, i thought they would try to keep things equal and fair.
Q-did you like the schooling that was put into place?
A- i didnt think we needed it becasue it just makes us like man.
Q-how did you feel about building the windmill?
A- again, it just makes us more into man and it wasnt really necessary to have it to crush corn. however, it would have been nice to have heated stales in the winter.
Q-did you ever want to just have Mr. Jones come back?
A- after awhile it didnt seem like there was that much of a difference from when Jones owned the farm to when the pigs started to really take control.
Q-how did you feel about how the pigs treated eveyone else?
A- they should've been more fair because everything was supposed to be based on equality.
Q- did you ever feel like you were under feed?
A- yes, i would get hungry very often and i think we should've got more for how much work we did. i didnt like how the pigs were the only ones who go the apples and milk.
Q-how do feel about Boxer getting hurt?
A- he was a very good friend of mine. we were some of the few left on the farm to remember old major.
i felt betrayed when they sent Boxer away and knew from then on that the farm was no longer a place that wanted equality.
I choose Boxer becasue he was a loyal animal on the farm.
1. Q: What type of rule do you animals have here on Animal Farm?
A: Boxer: We currently have a great leader in Comrade Napoleon who always knows what is best for us.
2. Q: What was your reason for the Rebellion?
A: Boxer: I think I speak for all animals when I say that life when Mr. Jones was here was miserable. We slept in the barn and we ate very low rations. So we wanted to be free from that.
3. Q: Are you happy with how Animal Farm is being run?
A: Boxer: I never underestimate the power of manual labor, so therefore I love it. I get the sense that many other animals dont feel the same way, but I sure like how things are going.
4. Q:How do you feel about the windmill being destroyed so many times?
A: Boxer: Like I said before, I don't mind working hard. In fact, I love it! So I am happy to rebuild it again if I need to.
5. Q: When and how was Snowball run off the farm?
A: Boxer: It was a couple of years ago. Napoleon was getting mad about all of his plans and he sent the dogs after him.
6. Q: If Napoloen's dogs had caught and killed Snowball, wouldn't it be against the Seven Commandments?
A: Boxer: I guess I never thought about that. But yeah it would have. I don't know why I even trusted Comrade Napoleon in the first place.
7. Q: That being said, do you still think Napoleon was always right?
A: Boxer: Not now I don't. I never had any idea he was fooling all of us and he was really with the humans. All that work I did for him went to waste.
8. Q: What would be different around here if Snowball had never been run off the farm?
A: Boxer: Well, I think there would be more order. Looking back I see that Snowball would also be looking out for the good of all of us, not just himself...
9. Q: How did you find out that Napoleon was fooling you all?
A: Boxer: I never had any suspicions until I was told by Benjamin about it. He was suspicious through the whole thing. And he was right.
10: Q: Would you rather have Jones back now?
A: Boxer: Absolutely, yes. I was okay with how life was going before the Rebellion. I would be better thatn having a traitor run my life.
1. Q: Now that Mr. Jones is gone do you think things are better on the farm?
A: Benjamin: Yes, I think so because he wasn't very nice.
2. Q: Why did you have such a bad temper?
A: I think I had such a bad temper because no one paid any attention when jones was around and probabley because i'm old.
3. Q: Did you think the song "Beast of England" was a good song?
A: Yes because it represent us the animals.
4. Did you think the 7 commandments were a good thing?
A: Benjamin- Yes because I think it saying all animals are equal.
5: Q: Were you scared when jones came back to the farm?
A: Benjamin- Yes because he had two men with him and I thought he was going to take over the farm again.
6. Q: What did you think about the campaign against Snowball and Napolean?
A: Benjamin- I thought we needed a leader to keep the farm running.
7. Q: Who did you want to be leader?
A: Benjamin- I wanted Snowball because he came up with alot of ideas for the farm.
8. Q: What was your reaction when Napolean let out the dogs?
A: Benjamin- I was shocked and scared when I herd Napolean was the one who let the dogs out.
9. Q: How did you feel when you herd Boxer died?

Turner - "Hello, and welcome to this weeks 'Entertainment Tonight'. I'm Danielle Turner from 'Editors International', here with Boxer from the new hit series novel; "Animal Farm".
Boxer - "Hello Danielle."
Turner - "Goodevening Boxer. Are you ready to answer some questions about your experience from being in "Animal Farm?"
Boxer - "Of course."
Turner - "Great. Lets get started then." (Danielle flips open her notebook) "Okay . . . So tell me Boxer, 'How did you feel about kicking Mr. Jones out of hs farm?'"
Boxer - "Well Danielle, it was with the intrest of all of the animals that kicking him out was a good thing for the farm. I mean we didn't eat for days at a time when Mr. Jones was living there."
Turner - "Ah yes, I do remember reading that. Okay, next question.
'Who did you think would become the leader after Jones was kicked out?'"
Boxer - "To be honest, none of us really knew who would lead us. We had to get past Jones before we even got that far."
Turner - "Well Boxer, its always good to think ahead you know. Ha Ha Ha Ha."
Boxer - "Don't you know it. Ha Ha."
Turner - "Now Boxer, 'Do you believe that Napoleon was a good leader?'"
Boxer - "At the time yes I did. But looking back, I would say no."
Turner - "Boxer, 'What would you say separates you from the other animals?'"
Boxer - "I do think that I worked a lot harder than some of the animals on the farm."
Turner - "'Do you have any regets about what has happened to the Animal Farm?'"
Boxer - "You know Danielle, after seeing what has become of it, yes I do. I just wish I could have seen that coming."
Turner - "Yes in deed. You could have saved alot of strength that way. Now tell us, 'What do you think Napoleon was trying to do with the Farm?'"
Boxer - "Thats a hard question because none of us could really get a hold of what he was doing, both in his mind, and behind our backs."
Turner - "'What do you think Snowball was trying to do by coming back to the farm?'"
Boxer - "I think he was trying to save us from Napoleon's wrong doings."
Turner - "Boxer, 'Are you happy with what has become of the farm?'"
Boxer - "NO. I still sometimes blame myself for not seeing it before. Napoleon was as tricky as ever."
Turner - "Boxer, this was not your falt. It was Napoleon that made you believe he was always right. Okay. 'Is there anything that you wish you could go back in time to change?'"
Boxer - "If it would be anything, I would go back and I would have never agreed to let Napoleon take over."
Turner - "Amen to that! And lastly, 'Do you wish you never would have kicked out Mr. Jones now that you have seen what has become of the farm?'"
Boxer - "Yes. I think that by kicking him out, that that was the biggest mistake of my life."
Turner - "Well thank you Boxer for coming in to discuss the Animal Farm with us. When we return, 'Is Britney pregnate again?', 'Does Brad and Angleina have a secret Mansion saved for their kids?', and 'Is Barack O'Boma a repeating chatter box?'. You will find out, when we return."
Danielle Turner
Mr.Kay,
For my blog tonight im going to interview Napolean.
Q1: What do you think the real reason for rebeling against Jones was?
A: Well, all of us animals were sick of being mistreated. We wanted our own freedom and didnt believe that humans should have control over us.
Q2: In the beggining of the animal farm did you really believe that you and the other pigs were smarter then the other animals?
A: I have always known that the pigs were the smartest of all the other animals. I mean how else were we able to make them belive that the changes to the commandments had always been there.
Q3: Why did you feel it was neccesary for you to raise those puppies?
A: I thought i should raise them becasue i thought i would do a good job. I knew if put in the right hands those dogs would became great leaders and protectors.
Q4: But if everyone is equal what would the need of leaders and protectors be?
A: Well... I didnt say they had to be leaders of animal farm. They could ge leaders of another farm or something.
Q5: What was your purpose of using the dogs to scare away snowball?
A: I cant just let great power go to use. I used the dogs to put Snowball in his place. I cant let him convince people that being nice and treating everyone one equal is going to get anything done.
Q6: Did you and the other pigs drink the milk?
A: of course we did. Im not going to let it go to waste
Q7: But i thought since the other animals wernt allowed to drink it you would do the same?
A: I would you see but, i find the pigs to be of higher power becasue we are smarter and just better in genral so We deserved it.
Q8: Why did you keep changing the commandments?
A: why wouldnt I seems like the better question. I wanted to drink, so, i drank. I changed the rules and got away with it Only because the other animals are dumb enough to belive it was like that the whole time.
Q9: Why did you ban the "Beasts of england" tune?
A: Because i was isck of hearing it. Those dumb animals running around singing it over and over again. Im mean how many times can you deal with hearing " Beasts of england".
Q10: Finally, why did you become friends with the humans after you werent suppose to be like them? dosnt that make you a hypocrate?
A: I wanted to use their resources. Plus im to good to converse with the other animals, i needed better people. And I could never be a hypocrate because my name is Naploean and i am always right! Right?

For tonights blog I will interview Napolean.
Q: Do you think you are doing a good job running the farm?
A: I think I am doing fantastic. Things couldn't be going any smoother.
Q: How do you feel about Snowball?
A: He was a liar. He betrayed me as well as all the other animals on the farm. He tried taking over the farm with Mr. Jones and gaining power.
Q: Why do you keep cutting the food portions?
A: I feel that since us pigs are the smartest, we should get the most food.
Q: Yes, but your not the one doing the work. The animals are more like servants than comrades to you and the other pigs, are they not?
A: I see them as both.
Q: Why is it that the pigs get the house and not the other animals?
A: Well us pigs need to rest our brains so we can keep the farm funning smooth.
Q: Why do you feel it is neccesary to keep chaning the 7 Commandments?
A: Since I am the leader, I am able to do what I want.
Q: Don't most of the new commandments only help the pigs and you?
A: Well yes...
Q: Do you think Snowball would have been a better leader?
A: NO!! Snowball was a traitor and a liar. I became leader to save this farm from being taken over by him and Jones.
Q: Why did you use the dogs to run Snowball off?
A: I saw him as a threat and wanted him out.
Q: Or is it because you knew he was going to win the election by a long shot?
A: Yes that was actually the reason..

I would choose to interview Napoleon.
1. Q: How did Animal Farm come about?
A: Well, we actually call it Manor farm now, but we began by overthrowing Mr. Jones off the farm.
2. Q: Oh, why do you call it Manor Farm now?
A: That was the name it began with and that is it’s proper name. I feel we should keep it the way it is supposed to be.
3. Q: Alright, going back to the first question, what did everyone do after Mr. Jones had been kicked off the farm?
A: We all celebrated our victory and started deciding on how to run the farm.
4. Q: So, if you were deciding on how to run the farm, how did that animals decide who was going to lead them?
A: All of the animals agree that the pigs are naturally very intelligent, so it was only fitting that we lead.
5. Q: How did you become “The Leader” of Manor Farm?
A: Ever since we discovered that Snowball was terrorizing the farm, I took it upon myself to help the animals and be their leader. All of the animals understand that it is a great responsibility, and honor me for my leadership.
6. Q: How has Snowball terrorized the farm?
A: Snowball was helping Jones the entire time. He tried to help Jones win back the farm in the Battle of the Cowshed by getting the animals to flee. He also ruined our windmill that took us great time and effort to build.
7. Q: How did you get him off the farm?
A: Once again, I took upon myself a large responsibility and trained a group of new dogs myself. When the time was right, I had them run the criminal off the farm.
8. Q: How have things changed around the farm now that Snowball and Mr. Jones are gone?
A: The animals have more food than ever. They have better working times, they eat better, and best of all, with Jones gone, every animal is equal.
9. Q: If every animal is equal, then why do the pigs get to sleep in the farmhouse and drink whiskey?
A: Well, all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
10. Q: How is it possible to have something more equal than another thing?
A: Well, it is just to benefit the farm. Everything we do is in the best interest of the farm as a whole. We work so hard for all the animals on the farm that we need a good place to sleep and relax.

C- Can i start by saying hes using us to make money for him.

Mr. Kay,
I decided to interview Napoleon.
(This is about the end of Chapter 9)
1. So my first question is, How did you become the President of Animal Farm?
- Well we had these small elections where I went up against running mate, Snowball, but the animals of Animal Farm though I was the best candidate.
2. What happened to Snowball?
-After he ran away by a couple of harmless dogs since he is a coward, and recently he has been breaking in to the farm and vandalizing things and breaking things. Even our precious windmill.
3.How did that happen?
-We know he was sneaking in and breaking rocks and making the structure less stable.
4. How did the windmill idea come about?
-Well I was thinking how everyone could be happy with new energy and everything in the farm. It came straight from the noggin. And even Snowball tried to steel my idea.
5. How So?
- He started telling everyone I stole it from him and saying my urinating on it was bad.
6.I see, I see. Well I hear he isn't the only leave Animal Farm. Who are the others?
- We had Mollie left early on to go to a worse farm, and Boxer went to the Hospital.
7. Some other animals on off topic said they took him to the knacker. What does this mean?
- I actually told them, he didn't go to the knacker,but we sent him to the hospital to get better.
8. So you are in it for the animals?
- Of coarse. These animal need a leader and rules by the leader to get them by. Without me and my intelligence, it would be chaos.
9. What about the equality principle that has been upheld many times on the farm?
-It hasn't been up help. Sure some have taken more to do more, such as us pigs eating apples because no one else wants to. We do that for the good of the farm.
10. I see. Well I can tell that you are a good leader and do you think there will be any big changes in Animal Farm soon?
- I think I have a couple plans.
Alright well thank you for your time and just keep doing what your doing.

Me: Hello. I am Stefanie samuel, USA today reporter. I am very lucky to be here totay at ANimal faRm. Now, whats ur name?
Napoleon: Hello Stefanie, I am Napoleon.
Me: How do you think the farm was before you guys took over?
Napoleon: well, before jones was a drunk and rarely fed us and took care of us, we could not take it anymore so we took it over.
Me: I see, then what happened?
Napoleon: We changed the farm to "animal farm" the animals are da bosses now.
me: how did the farm pick who was going to lead the farm?
Napoleon: all the animals werent as intellegent as the pigs, so they thought of us and good leaders.
me: How did you become the "Main" leader of this farm?
Napoleon: WEll, you see, i think that snowball was heading us in the wrong direction, he was going to bring us down. so the animals could picture me more as the leader.
me: hmm, i see. how was he heading you in the wrong direction?
Napoleon: well i came to my senses, he was working with the humans all along, that sneak, he was one that helped the humans to destroy all our hard work.
me: why was snowball off the farm anyways?
Napoleon: well you no me as intellegent, so i took the pups and i raised them on my own, and when they followed my command, i made them chase him off the farm.
me: now how is the farm doing?
Napoleon: well we changed the name back to "Manor farm" bc the rebellion is over and we now hang with the humans.
Me: how do you think the humans reacted to your rebellion?
Napoleon: i think they thought we were crazy and stupid but we really could prolly out smart them, in the end they were like WOW they actually could do something.
me: to me it seems like in the end you are acting like the humans what is that all about?
Napoleon: i think your crazy, i am the arian race.

Q: How did things change from the start of animal farm to today?
A: (Benjamin) Well, at first all the animals were equal, and the work was done more thouroughly. We as a whole had more food than we did of Jones's time. Now, Napoleon takes most of the food for himself, there is no equality, and we animals do all the work.
Q: Do you think it would have been better to have kept MR. Jones?
A: At first, no. We animals enjoyed our time as individuals. Now, yes. Mr. Jones treated us better and gave us a fair share of food.
Q: What did you make of the removal of Snowball?
A: All the animals were shocked. We didn't know what to say, and were afraid if we did the dogs would attack us as well.
Q: What do you think the future of the Manor Farm will be?
A: The same as MR. Jones's time. Animals will be treated poorer than the people, and will have the prouduct of our labor taken from us.
Q: Did you ever think that Animal Farm would come to this?
A: At the beginning, all everyone thought of was the freedom that we had. Towatds the middle, I started to see it. I just was too late to do anything about it.
Q: How did you react to Boxer's death?
A: I am still deeply saddened by my friends death. I cannot believe why we thought Napoleon would actually take care of Boxer. When I realized he was being taken away, I could not help crying out.
Q: Do you think that the animals will once again overcome Napoleon?
A: Yes. I think that our revolution will happen over and over again, and the results will always be the same.
Q: How did Napoleon get away with breaking the rules.
A: Besides a few of the animals, none of the animals realized that Napoleon was taking advantage of them. The ones who did were afraid of the dogs.
Q: What did you think of the executions?
A: As stunned as I was, I was not suprized to see Napoleon do this. He wanted power, and removed anyone who stood in his way.
Q: Did you ever think of running to a different farm?
A: Some of the animals did, but not me. I am too old, and it is not worth it. One day I will die, and it is not going to matter where I die at.

A: I completely love it becasue Napolean is the best at being the leader and i am just glad to help him out?
4.Q: Why is Snowball not a member of this farm anymore?
A: Well becasue h isn't loyal and thinks he is the best?
5.Q: Is it true that you built a windmill based off Snowball's ideas?
A: No it isn't becasue he first took those ideas from Napolean and tried to calll them his.
6.Q:What was the point in making the windmill?
A: To store and harvest the corn which we would then sell.
7.Q: Why did you get Boxer killed?
A: That wasn't my idea but it was best for him and we got money for it.
8.Q: How did you pigs learn to walk on two feet?
A:It just took a lot of practice and dedication

Ty Bouwens, 6th hour
I am going to interview Squealer.
1. How do you think the farm is running at this point after the rebellion?
A- The farm is absolutely terrfic. We have a great leader who is really looking out for us.
2. Do you think there are any improvements that can be made for the farm?
A- No there are because the farm is going exactly unplanned.
3. Do you think any of the animals might be angry at Napoleon?
A- They have no reason too. He has given them food and shelter and has really improved the farm.
4. Why do you keep changing the 7 commandments?
A- We aren't changing them, we are simply improving them to help out the farm.
5. Do you think pigs are better then the others?
A- I wouldn't say we are better. I think of us as more intelligent allowing us to be better leaders.
6. Would you always support Napoleon no matter what?
A- Yes I would be because he is a great person and he is always there for me and everyone else.
7. Why do the pigs get the special treatment over everybody else?
A- We really don't. However, our days are much more stressful requiring us to need more care and entities.
8. What made you think walking on two feet was better than four?
A- I think it showed we were capable of anything and it showed how advanced animals could be.
9. Do you think you would be a better leader than Napoleon?
A- I don't think I would be. I am more of a supporter and preacher whereas Napoleon can lead.
10. Finally, where do you see the farm in 10 years?
A- The farm will be up and running better than ever because more and more animals will come to it and spread across the country.

Snowball
1. Reporter: Why do you think that Napolean wanted you off the farm?
Snowball: I was the only one sticking up for my opinions. Without me their, there would only be Napolean with strong opinions on the farm.
2. Reporter: Did you expect Napolean to gain power so quickly?
Snowball: Deffiantly not. All I remember was running for my life. It took me awhile to figure out who those dogs were and where they came from.
3. Reporter: Why didn't you stop Napolean from teaching the dogs in the first place?
Snowball: I had absolutly no idea that the dogs would be put to this use. I actually forgot about them.
4. Reporter: Did you see any clues that Napolean was trying to take over.
Snowball: Not at the time. However, looking back I relize that their were many signs that he was trying to take over.
5. Reporter: Do you think Napolean is being a good leader?
Snowball: From what the birds have told me about the farm nowadays, deffiantly not. History is going to repeat itself and the animals will overthrow him just like they have overthown Jones.
6. Reporter: What is Napolean's biggest weakness?
Snowball: Napolean doesn't learn from mistakes. He also won't take anyone's advice.
7. Reporter: Did you ever think about sneaking back onto the farm?
Snowball: Yes, but I believe it would be too dangerous for not only me, but anyone who will try to help me.
8. Reporter: If you got relized what was going on and got rid of Napolean before he became powerful, do you think the outcome would be different. Since you would basically be in Napolean's shoes and have the power.
Snowball: Deffiantly not, I wouldn't even have the power. I really do believe in equality.
9. Reporter: What do you think about Napolean taking credit of your windmeal idea.
Snowball: Absolutly shocked. I put a lot of effert in that planning. I also cannot believe he put it towards such awful use.
10. Reporter: Would you go back to Animal Farm if their was another Revolution? What would you do different.
Snowball: I would deffiantly come back. We would need to make sure that not one type of animal has most of the power. I would try to get the rest of the animals into the planning process aswell. We would also look out for signs of animals wanting power.

I chose Mollie to interview.
Clare: Hello Mollie, my name is Clare Pathe and im a reporter at fox news, and would like to ask you a couple questions about the Animal Farm.
Mollie: Ok.
Q: So, to start off, did you feel Mr. Jones was neglecting you?
A: Yes, of course.
Q: Did you feel he was a good farm owner overall?
A: Well overall, yes. But he just drank too much and didnt care about our needs.
Q: Did you like working at the animal farm?
A: I guess. I didnt really work at all so i wouldnt really know, but yes.
Q: Did you agree with the rebellion that took place at Animal Farm?
A: As long as i got to eat sugar cubes and wear ribbons than yes i did.
Q: I think we all want to know this, why did you leave Animal Farm?
A: I left because i felt like i wasnt being taken care of, and was very hungry and dont like to work.
Q: Did you suspect anything that was going to happen?
A: Honestly, yes. I suspected that Napolean wansnt a good person, and he seemed disloyal and sneaky.
Q: So, I take it you didnt like Napoleon?
A: Not at all. I think that Snowball would have been a better leader.
Q: And why is that?
A: He seemed much more trustworthy and acted in a way where you wanted to help us, and be a good leader and not a controler or maipulator.
Q: Now that you know all that happened to the farm with Napoleon being the leader, are you glad you got out of the farm when you did?
A: Yes. The first second i met Napoleon i knew he was a bad person. So i got out of there as quickly as i could.
Q: For my last question, do you think it was the right thing to abandon the Animal Farm for humans?
A: Part of me says no, because i abandoned all my friends and felt i let them down. But the other part of me says yes becuase i got sugar cubes and ribbons and was cared for by the humans, almost as family. And the whole thing with Napoleon too.
Clare Pathe
1. Q: How do you think you are running the farm?
A: Napoleon- I think i'm running it just fine
2. Q: Do you find it unfair that you are able to have milk and apples?
A: Napoleon-Not at all it helps us pigs think so we can help our fellow animals.
3.Q: What about sleeping in beds, doesn't that conflict one of the commandments?
A:Napoleon- No not at all we need our rest also and if you read the commandments we can only sleep in a bed without sheets.
4.Q: Are you worried about the humans?
A: Napoleon-Of course not we are able to defend our selves without any trouble thanks to my battle tactics.
5.Q: How s the production of the windmill?
A: Napoleon-Glad you asked it is going strong we had a slight set back with the first one collapsing.
6.Q: This is your second windmill you are building? How did the first collapse?
A:Napoleon- It collapsed because of a filthy traitor named Snowball hes been causing trouble on the farm after we kicked him off.
7.Q: You kicked him off? Why I thought all animals were equal.
A:Napoleon- We all are some may be more equal then others Snowball was also a thief stealing my idea for the windmill.
8.Q: Were the executions necessary? isn't killing a animal against the commandments also?
A:Napoleon- They were necessary to prove a point to what will happen to those that deal with Snowball. You must have misread our rules again If you have a good reason you may kill another animal.
9.Q: Since we are on the topic of the rules again I thought animals couldn't drink alcohol?
A:Napoleon- Why would we set ourselves apart from such great things? We are aloud to drink alcohol but the a certain extent.
10.Q: Do you feel that you are a good leader?
A:Napoleon- Of course I do look at the animals I have unified them and allowed them to be free from corruption.

6th hour
Q-Do you see the animal's having success in and following through with the goals you have gave to them?
A-Old major- i do feel the animals will take charge and feel they will complete the task at hand.
Q- From what you have learnedfrom each animal, who do you think will be the best leader once your life has fallen?
A-Old Major- I feel Snowball would be the rightful leader cause he has shown me respect and is very willing to give imput on subjects as well as listen to what others think.
Q-What are your feelings torward Napolean?
A-old major- Napolean could be a leader somewhat sue to his ability to grasp the attention of others but at the same time i feel leading an independent animal farm might not be the right dictatful place for him.
Q- If animalfarm is not a success were do you see the animals end up being?
A-old major- if the animals do not act soon, they will be worked to death and all of them will sadly join me in heaven.
Q- Do you feel all human beings are bad or just farmers?
A-old major- all of them are terrible!!! like mentioned before, "four legs good, two legs bad."
Q-Do you feel you would ever be able to get along with humans.
A-old major- from current knowlege it is hard to turn around but i feel that if they would stop taking advantage of and treating us bad then i might consider giving friendship a try.
Q- do you feel any animal deserves to be treated mor loyal or better than another?
A-old major- no, all animals re equal and thats what i stand for. we may all be different in many was, but we all have either four legs or wings and mentally are all the same.
Q-Do you feel that the animals are prepared to take over the farm and get rid of mr.jones?
A- i am not sure but i have put a good thought in their head from my speach and hopefully something really settled in and gave them the want of success.
Q-How long do you feel it will take the animals to take it over if they even do?
A-old major- i feel that there really isnt a set date or time, i feel they will find the right time and right then and there make the move and takeover animal farm.
Q-Do you feel that you will always be in the animals minds
A- old major- that question is hard to answer. i felt i left a good impression of myself with the animals and know that wheather i am in their hearts or am hated by them, all of them will have my pride, hope and love in each and everyone one of them

I am going to interview Snowball.
Alanna: Hello Snowball, I am Alanna, and I would like to ask you a few questions if that's alright with you?
Snowball: Hello Alanna, yes that is fine.
1. Q: First off, were you pleased with the way things were running on Animal Farm, before the incident with Napoleon?
A: Yes, I was very pleased. I thought everything was going smoothly, the animals were being fed more frequently, we all pitched in equal amount of work time, and every one was happy.
2. Q: If you were the leader of Animal Farm, what would you do differently than Napoleon?
A: I would not have taken away the animals rations, I would not have made them work on Sunday, even if it was supposedly "Voluntary". I would have completed with my plan for the windmill, and make work easier.
3. Q: Did you see the incident with Napoleon running you off the farm coming?
A: Honestly, I would like to say I did, but I would by lying, and that's not what I'm about. I did not see it coming.
4. Q: Did you ever consider trying to come back to Animal Farm, and reclaim what was been lost?
A: Yes, I did. I thought about it a lot actually, but then I thought it would be to risky. Also, I figured that Napoleon had turned half or all of the farm against me, no one would want be to return.
5. Q: If you were Napoleon, would you run your opponent off the farm because you wanted the title?
A: Definitely not, I do not believe in 'titles' or 'labels'. I believe in equality, all the way.
6. Q: Why do you think Napoleon took credit for your idea about the windmill?
A: I believe he took credit because, he wanted to win, and he knew it was a good idea, and that the animals would go for it. Once again, he wanted to do anything to win.
7. Q: If you got a chance to say anything to Napoleon, would you, or not?
A: Honestly, there's a lot of things I want to say to him, but that's just a waste. He wouldn't listen to me, so there would be no point.
8. Q: Did you have idea idea Napoleon was trying to run you off the farm?
A: Actually, not any that I noticed. However, looking back I realize now, there may have been a few incidents that I overlooked.
9. Q: If you were in lead, would you have sold Boxer to the humans, after everything you have worked for to get rid of the humans?
A: Hm, that is a tough one. I would have to say yes, but let me tell you why. Boxer is our best worker on this farm, he deserved to be treated well, after everything he has put into the farm. However, I would not sell him to the humans to be sent to the knackers, or killed. I would simply put him in in a veteran's hospital to be treated.
10. Q: Lastly, would you ever change the Commandments, saying that it was for the greater good of the farm?
A: No, I would not. We came up with these Commandments, because we didn't like the way that humans did things. Even though they eventually took all the Commandments away, when they added just two words, they added human lifestyle in them.
Alanna: Thank you so much, for your time and patience during this interview. Also, thank you for having me today. Take care Snowball!
Snowball: No problem Alanna, it was my pleasure. Thank you for coming. Have a nice day!

For this evening i will chose to interview muriel the goat.
Hi muriel my name is jordan blanzy from the usa today. Do you mind if i ask you a few questions?
Muriel:Yes go ahead
Q:Would you says you are better off, worse off, or about the same since jones has left?
A: I would say about the same because before mr jones controlled us before but not napolean tells us what to do
Q: Wasn't the point of the rebellion to have a better life?
A: Yes it was but now we don't have much of a say in anything now that napolean runs things.
Q: Why hasn't anyone taken a stand against napolean?
A:He has a pack of trained dogs that will attack us if we disagree with him so we are afraid.
Q: I understand that their was another canidate to be a leader, snowball was his name. What did you think of him?
A: Snowball was a great animal and i respected him greatly. He always had a lot of great ideas.
Q: So do you think that animal farm wouldve been better off with snowball in charge?
A: Oh absolutely. I think that snowball stood for leadership of the people and what was best for the whole farm. Napolean only thinks for himself.
Q: Do you think it is fair that the pigs get special treatment?
A: No, they claim they need it because they run the farm but all animals were created equally.
Q: What was better about having mr jones as a leader?
A: We always got the same amount of food and the work was less hard and we didnt have to build a windmill.
Q: Do you belive that snowball really destroyed the windmill?
A: No i do not think so. Snowball was a great animal and that is not like him to do something of that caliber.
Q; Was it worth it to even build the windmill
A: No i do not think so. It was a ton of work and it seems like all it does is benfit the pigs even more.
Q: If you could run away right now and go to another farm controlled by human beings would you?
A: Definatly. I think that if i got caught though and was returned here i would be executed so i dont know if it is worth the risk.

-He doesn't feed us right and takes everything away from us. We are so overworked.

7. You can read it?

Zack Ruffin
I'm going to interview Snowball before he left the farm.
Q- How did you feel about Animal Farm before Jones left?
A- I wasn't happy, after old majors speech all I wanted was to be free.
Q- Do you think you have fulfilled what old major was talking about in his final speech?
A- Yes, we got free from Jones and we don't rely on humans at all.
Q- Do you think that the power is equally distributed?
A- For the most part, I can see the pigs have a little more power because we are a little smarter/
Q- Do you think any of the other animals catch on to the fact that you guys have more power?
A- No not that I know of, and if they do they haven't said anything to us yet.
Q- Can you see anyone who is really rising in power?
A- I can sort of tell that Napoleon is taking more control of the farm.
Q- Do you think that your society of equality will stay in control?
A- Not really, I said before that Napoleon is taking more roles and I have a feeling that he will begin to take over completely.
Q- Do you think you could be the leader of the farm?
A- I don't think anyone should be "leader", but I could help run it and make it as successful as possible.
Q- For your ideas about the windmill, do you think that those will help Animal Farm?
A- Yes, I do. I feel like they can help make life easier for all the animals
Q- Do you think that all the animals on Animal Farm are happier now then they were in Jones time?
A- Yes, I strongly believe that because no matter what happens on the farm they all think at least we are free and aren't controlled by humans.
Q- What is the perception the other two surrounding farms have about Animal Farm?
A- I think that they may be a little worried that we ran Jones off of the farm but other than that I feel they don't mind it.

2. Q: What happened to Snowball?
A: He was run off the farm by Napolean; He was attacked by dogs.
3. Q: What type of rule do you animals have here on Animal Farm?
A: We currently have a leader ,Comrade Napoleon who always knows what is best for us.
4.Q:do you think that napoleon is doing a good job running animal farm?
A:Yes, I think that comrade napoleon is doing a great job things have gotten so much better around the farm.
5. Q: Do you enjoy doing all of the work that you have to do?
A. Its okayy, i like working to make this farm better.
6.Q:How do you feel about the windmill being destroyed so many times?
A: I don't mind working hard. If it needs to be rebuilt then ill be right there to help.
7.Q: What do you think the future of the Manor Farm will be?
A: Animals will be treated more poor than the people.
8. Q: How'd you feel about the pigs getting to sleep in the beds?
A: i didnt think it was fair, i think that we all should have been able to. But who am i to say.
9. Q:Why do you think Napoleon took credit for Snowballs idea for the windmill?
A: Because he knew i was a good idea, and that the animals would go for it.
10. Q. Do you thiknk Snowball would have been a better leader?
A: Yes, he wanted all the animals to be equal, as innapoleon was just looking out for himself.
((Muriel))
Q: How long have you lived on the farm, Muriel?
A: Oh, my. It's been so many years. I'd have to say my whole life.
Q: I see. And how was your life during the Jones era?
A: Well, I can't say it was too great. Then again, it wasn't too bad, neither.
Q: Did it seem appropriate for Old Major to bring about the revolution?
A: Why, yes. Old Major spoke for all of us when he said he wanted freedom from Jones. It's only natural.
Q: Speaking of natural, did the 'natural order' of animal and human change drasticly here?
A: You heard how it happened. We ran Jones RIGHT out the gate!
Q: Wow. That is something serious. How did everyone react to his expulsion?
A: Quite well, in fact. More food for us. And then there was more work, that is true. But we can deal with that.
Q: Did you agree with Snowball-I MEAN-Napoleon's idea of the windmill?
A: Abousolutely. Electricity in the barn would have been WONDERFUL.
Q: Do times get hard working and barely eating here?
A: Oh, here and there. But we've been in a pinch before. WE know how to handle this sort of thing.
Q: For what it's worth, do you think Snowball was innocent?
A: Well...you didn't hear it from me...but...YES... I don't think Snowball's chubby rear could FIT through the hen-house door!
Q: (laughs)Would things be better if there was someone to take care of you all?
A: Why? We take care of each other. Who needs a filthy human telling us what to do? No offense.
Q: None taken. Anything you'd like to add?
A: FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD!

A: napolean, no i think we made the right choice and we are going to keep him away.
3. Q: Do you enjoy doing all of this work that you have to do now that jones is gone?
A: Napolean, us pigs do all the hard work while the other animals work out in the feilds all day. I enjoy doing the work i have to do because it is better for the farm.

Q: Dow you think that you are treated fairly?
A: Clover; I do feel that I am treated farley and every one else but the pigs do seam to have more liberties that others.
Q: Can you remember the times before the rebellion and do you think that it is better now?
A: Benjamin; I can remember the times like it was yesterday. Life does seam to have made an up turn in things like the mood and the work now that we are not Jones’ slaves.
Q: Did you get everything out of the windmill as you hoped?
A: Squealer; we did now we are making another to run electricity and work more machines.
Q: What happened to Snowball and why?
A: Clover; He was ran off the farm. The reason why is that his was a traitor to us all.
Q: Do you believe what happened to Boxer is true? I mean what Squealer said.
A: Benjamin; I don’t believe a word of what happened I saw the words on the cart and I saw the evil gleam in the eye of the driver. He was sold to the nacre.
Q: Do you feel you get enough food?
A: Clover; yes even though it seams low we keep making more says Squealer.
Q: Do you feel that the farm is a republic like the pigs said it was?
A: Clover; I don’t know what it is but we do get a say in some things.
Q: Dose it seam that the pigs are changing the commandments?
A: Benjamin; I can remember the original commandments and it seams that they are changed when the pigs do something that seamed to go agents the commandments.
Q: What are the new commandments?
A: Muriel; All animals are equal but some are more equal that others. It seams so different from the original ones.
Q: How did the rebellion happen?
A: Muriel; It just sort of happened. We went to get food then Jones and his men tried to stop us then we were chancing them of the farm.
q1: napoleon, how would you describe your relationship with snowball?
well, i can not believe all the outrageous thing he has done to us, and i hope he burns in hell for the problems he has caused.
q2: well, were you not on the same team with him in the beginning?
well, i guess, but he betrayed me, and what was i then supposed to do? fess up, and apologize? HE should apologize.
but its to late to 'pologize.
q3: did you really take the plans from snowball?
yes, i did, but it was better the way i had them.
q4: but it felcl down at least 3 times, so, how were they better?
you can leave sir, you ar no longer welcome to ask me anymore questions, so leave.
Good Day sir!
q5: so, Benjamin, what do you think of what is now manor farm?
well, i dislike it, because we were being lied to for so long. he took us as incompetent, and we were not. except those incessantly annoying-as-hell sheep, they can go die for all i care.
q6: so, you dislike the sheep, i see?
yes, they do whatever the pigs tell them to do, and they are just a bunch of know nothings. they follow blindly, and make the stupidest of comments, and i swear to god if i here anything about four legs and two legs, i swear to god i will drop them.
q7: wow, so anyways, what do you make of the rationings?
we are barely getting enough, and we are getting a lot less than when jones was here. and i hate to say it, but it was better when jones was here, or at least a leader who knew what was better for the community
q8, final question, what would you have done, if given the ability to run animal farm?
i would have been like snowball, before napoleon made everyone turn on him.
q9: so moses, why were you away for so long?
well, my presence was nt needed, but once i saw them getting less and less, i wanted them to remember that they got to believe in something
q10: so, overall, what do you think of animal farm?
well, after coming back, im surprised, because they lost so much amount of food given, and they had to give so much. their output was incredible. but overall, i think it could have went a ;lot better, and i think it was sad to see the good administration get run out of a place that had such great potential
I'm going to interview Napoleon dude.
Q: Mr.Napoleon? How are you doing these days?
A: Thank you, I'm doing pretty well for our pigs' intelligence, overtaking any other animals or even humans.
Q: So you think it's you and you pigs who helped achieve the present circumstance in this farm?
A: Well, yes, pretty much. Even if some couple of other animals helped constructing the base of this farm, it's basically for our, pigs, conspicuous brain work.
Q: You said "couple of other animals helped". And what do the animals refer to?
A: Such as horses, especially Boxer, and dogs, which were both species of animals dedicated to the farm!
Q: Your answer just reminded me of something Squealer said after Snowball was banned. "Brave is not enough. Loyalty and obedience is more important." What does that phrase exactly mean?
A: Even one animal is so much brave that he gets to be obsessed to be an heroic animal, the equality of the farm might be collapsed. But if it's the case of they're so loyal and obedient to the farm that he works harder for the farm, it would never be a problem.
Q: Okay, then here's my question following to that answer again.

Q: Technically, you're in control over the entire farm. Why don't you just claim your dictatorship?
Q: Ha! Even the animals are dumb enough to believe wrong commandments, they'll officially revolt against my authoirty when they hear I claim dictatorship.
Q: What was the reason for you to necessarily remove Snowball?
A: 'Cause he was my bait to persuade animals to follow my way.
Q: Was it not enough with only dogs?
A: A group consisting of only violence is easy to fall, but is harder with motive for the members to work for.
Q: What was the purpose of changing the farm's name to Manor farm again?
A: For the relationship between other farm owners. Don't we need to show them that we're not inferior but superior than them. To do so, we gotta make them consider us as same species as they're.
Q: As a last question, what do you think of animals, doubting your actions recently, acting like a human?
A: They're not supposed to. We pigs are the most superior existence that any other should follow without any suspicion.
Q: Thank you for your time, and do you have anything to add?
A: Hello, folks. Hope you enjoyed this show and I'll be waiting for the day to show you the superiority of our farm over any of the others. Bye.
