read the passage from animal farm. presently the tumult died down. the four pigs waited, trembling, with guilt written on every line of their countenances. napoleon now called upon them to confess their crimes. they were the same four pigs as had protested when napoleon abolished the sunday meetings. without any further prompting they confessed that they had been secretly in touch with snowball ever since his expulsion, that they had collaborated with him in destroying the windmill, and that they had entered into an agreement with him to hand over animal farm to mr. frederick. they added that snowball had privately admitted to them that he had been joness secret agent for years past. when they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess. how does napoleons questioning of the pigs demonstrate the authors purpose of reflecting reality? it shows similarities with stalins great purge and reveals how dictators use fear to control people. it shows how some animals are capable of using nonviolent tactics to gain power over others. it shows how leaders blame others for the problems of the society they lead and punish them accordingly. it shows how both napoleon and stalin used promises of a better life to take control of a group.
