Chapter 1: Idea to Revolt
In chapter one Old Major (Karl Marx) called a meeting up in the barn with all of the overworked animals. Old Major started out the meeting with talk of a dream he had, but pushed that out of the way and talked to his fellow barn animals about an old song his mother sang when he was a piglet. The song was named "Beasts of England" and was about revolting against the cruel humans and how the animals would revolt. -
