rations

I believe that stopping hen's rations is representing the labour camps' rations. "Zeks were made to work hard by a system of rationing food"(pg.14) and animals at the Animal Farm worked hard. Hens' rebellion made Napoleon to cut down the rations and this shows similarities with the situation of the labour camps where no or less food was given to those who failed to achieve the full norm. ㅡSung-Woo Choㅡ
