Your best bet will be to establish a simple time line in
order of occurrence. Few specific dates are given (primarily only the seasons, which you
could add, if necessary).
- Old Major calls the
animals to a secret meeting. - Old Major outlines his
animal commandments. - Old Major leads the animals in
"Beasts of England." - Old Major dies (early
March). - The animals take over the farm (about three
months after Old Major dies, on Midsummer's Day) - The
Seven Commandments are established. - The news spreads
through the county about the animal rebellion. - The
animals defeat the humans at the Battle of the Cowshed (October
12) - Mollie defects to the
humans. - Snowball's
expulsion. - Work begins on the
windmill. - The pigs break the Fourth Commandment (sleeping
in beds). - A storm destroys the
windmill. - "Beasts of England" is
banned. - The animals sell timber to Frederick but are paid
with forged bank-notes. - The animals defeat the humans in
the Battle of the Windmill. - Boxer is "retired" to the
horse slaughterer. - The pigs get drunk on
whisky. - The pigs begin walking on two
legs. - The Commandments are reduced to only
one. - The pigs and humans join together, and Animal Farm
is renamed Manor Farm.
