    Squealer uses propaganda and persuasive language to justify the pigs' theft of milk and apples from the farm. In a speech to the other animals, he claims [1] the pigs only took the milk and apples to preserve their health, as they contain substances necessary for pig well-being. He argues [2] the pigs are responsible for managing the entire farm for the benefit of all animals. Finally, he warns [3] if the pigs fail in their duties, the humans will return to the farm.

    SQUEALER’S PROPAGANDA SPEECH


    Propaganda is when information – usually biased information – is used to
    promote a political cause or point of view. It is used to try to persuade people.

    In Animal Farm by George Orwell, the author shows how those who can use language persuasively, can get away with almost anything. The
    following extract is from the third chapter novel, just after the pigs have stolen the milk and apples. The main propagandist, Squealer, is trying to
    cover up the pigs’ theft using the power of persuasive language.
    Would you be persuaded?

    “ “Comrades!” he cried. “You do not imagine, I hope,
    that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness
    and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk

    apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs
    failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes,
    Jones would come back! Surely, comrades,” cried
    Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to
    side and whisking his tail, “surely there is no one
    “
    among you who wants to see Jones come back?”
