Read the passage from Chapter 7 of Animal Farm.

> As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with
> tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would
> have been to say that this was not what they had aimed
> at when they had set themselves years ago to work for
> the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror
> and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to
> on that night when old Major first stirred them to
> rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future,
> it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger
> and the whip, all equal, each working according to his
> capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had
> protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on
> the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know
> why—they had come to a time when no one dared
> speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed
> everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades
> torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.
