The animals are divided on the topic of building the windmill. Snowball thinks it's a good idea, and paints a picture of heat and running water coming into the stalls. Napoleon opposes the project, saying they should devote all their energy to increasing food production.
After the Battle of the Cowshed, Snowball and Boxer are awarded Animal Hero, First Class, with a brass medal they can wear on Sundays and holidays. The fallen sheep are honored as Animal Hero, Second Class.
Boxer is bothered because he accidentally killed the stableboy and is afraid it will be thought he meant to kill him. Snowball tells him not to be sentimental, that war is war and the only good human is a dead human.
Mr. Pilkington and Mr. Frederick dislike each other so much it is difficult for them to come together even for reasons of mutual interest. However, they now share the cause of stopping the spread of news about Animal Farm. They are united in their shared fear and loathing of animalism.
