1) No animal in England is free.
In this quote from the old majors speech we can see how he tries to express his feeling making reference to all the animals in England.

2) I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom.

3) No animal in Englad knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old.

Here the old major (maybe becose of self experience) says the sad truth about the animals in the farm.

4)Our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.
Also in this quote he briefly explains how is the life in the farm, a miserable life.

5) Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours?

6) We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength.

7) The soil of England is fertile, its climate is good, its is capable of affording food in abundance to an enormously greater number of animal that now inhabit it.

8) Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own.

9) You cows that I see before me, how many thousands of gallons of milk have you given during this last year? ... Every drop of it has gone down the throats of our enemies

10) All animals are comrades.

Here he tries to explain that the animals should live in peace and not to fight with other animals, but fight his common enemy the humans.

11) All men are enemies.

Here using the power of the language he express his feelings towards the humans making the other animals feel the same.

12) Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle.

13) This single farm of ours would supper a donzer horses, twenty cows, hundereds of sheep and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now almost beyond our imagining.

14) Why then do we continue in this miserable condition?

15) Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits.

16) The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth.

17) And you hens, how many eggs have you laid in this last year, and how many of those eggs ever hatched into chickens? The rest have all gone to market to bring in money for Jones and his men.

18) That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion!

19) Almost overnight we could become rich and free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race!

20) Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever.

1 .- No, im not agree with the note taker's statement becose everyone in the world are free to express how they want and that includes that you can speak the way you like, the note taker in my opinion its very rude, becose he's speaking to a woman and a man shoudnt talk like that to a woman, well in my opinion i dont judge people becose the way he or she speak and nobody should judge smeone by the way its speaks, and talking a different English doesn't determine your position in society.

2.- I think that the note taker's proposition its inpolite becose such a plan ignores her sense of identity and dignity becose she has the decision of be an educated woman or not as i said she is free to expess herself and teaching how to speak different cant transform you in somethin different.
