Oh i got the answer now! Thank, you!
Oh and one more question -1. How did Boxer help dig his own grave, so to speak?
In George Orwell's novel Animal Farm, the pigs get the other animals to support their use of the milk and apples by employing a combination of persuasive rhetoric and manipulation. Here's how they achieve this:
1. Manipulation of Language: The pigs, led by the character Napoleon, modify the Seven Commandments of Animalism (the principles of their rebellion) to justify their actions. Initially, the commandment states, "No animal shall drink alcohol." The pigs then change it to "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess." By altering the commandment, they create a loophole that allows them to consume the milk, which they claim is essential for their well-being.
2. Exploiting Fear and Ignorance: The pigs succeed in convincing the other animals that their exclusive access to the milk and apples is necessary for their intelligence and mental well-being. Squealer, an eloquent and persuasive speaker working on behalf of the pigs, uses fear tactics to make the animals believe that without the pigs' leadership and privileges, the farm would be at risk of human invasion.
3. Distribution of False Benefits: The pigs convince the other animals that they require the milk and apples not for their own comfort or pleasure, but because they need to maintain their strength as the brain-workers and decision-makers of the farm. By framing their consumption as a necessary sacrifice for the greater good, they manipulate the animals into thinking it is a fair arrangement.
Overall, the pigs exploit the animals' trust and vulnerability, distort the principles of Animalism, and employ persuasive techniques to convince them that the unequal distribution of resources is necessary for the success and security of the farm.
