How does life change for the animals after the Rebellion?

After the animals overthrow Mr. Jones, their lives change in a number of ways. First of all, as we learn in Chapter Three, Sundays are a day of rest and celebration. The animals do not work, for instance, and have breakfast one hour later. Sundays is also the day of their weekly meeting in which they raise the flag, celebrate the expulsion of Mr. Jones and discuss the coming week's work. Each meeting is then closed with a rendition of their anthem, Beasts of England.

Secondly, another major change for the animals is the opportunity to educate themselves. Thanks to Snowball, they can learn to read or write or join one of his many committees, like the White Wool Movement for the sheep.

Arguably, of all the animals on the farm, life has changed the most for the pigs. From the text, it is clear that the pigs do less work than before and instead spend their time supervising and directing the others. They also enjoy better rations because they have access to milk and apples. This is significant because it marks the beginning of their ascent to power which will have further, and increasingly negative, implications for the other animals on the farm.
