Squealer
1. Propaganda is usually truthful but influence your opinion.
2. A message to produce emotion rather than rational responses to the information.
3. Squealer abuses language to justify Napolean’s actions and policies.
4. Example: he teaches the sheep to bleat “Four legs good, two legs better!”
5. He also employs jargon.
6. He baffles his vocabulary.
7. Squeal can mean to betray.
8. He usually squeals so that is how he got his name.
9. He thinks that the other animals can’t do things without him.
10. Because of his actions and what he does he is the perfect propagandist.

Moses the Raven
Lazy
Lair
Pet
He is know as the Sibrain mystic healer whose life has been retold throw family stories and mysterious tales of his healing powers.
He might be a holy monk on one hand and is a actor or phony without any connection to God on the other hand. It always has to do with the Russian orthodox church. The church is use to keep the working people hopeful and productive.

Barbaric, Cold-blooded, Unkind
Mr. Jones is a drunk farmer who runs the Manor Farm. Mr. Jones is an unkind master who indulges himself while his animals lack food. Mr. Jones represents Tsar Nicholas II, who especially during World War II was despised for his harsh rule which resulted in many of the peasants and lower class starving.
Napoleon

He becomes power hungry and evil and has animals killed because he thought that they were plotting against him or conspiring with snowball.

Sheep / Working Class Laborers
1. Unintelligent
2. Unskilled
3. Poor
The sheep are similar to Boxer and Clover. They represent the working class of unskilled laborers. They depend on their backs, not their brains, to do work. They fall into the bottom of society and are the focal point of politicians brain-washing.
