how is language used to present the animal's efforts to obliterate the painful reminders of their maltreatment in this extract?

Animal Farm

For the first few minutes the animals could hardly believe in their good fortune.Their first act was top gallop in a body right round the boundaries of the farm,as though to make quite sure that no human being was hiding anywhere upon it;then they raced back to the farm buldings to wipe out the last traces of Jone's hated reign.The harness-room at the end of the stables was broken open;the bits,the nose-rings,the dog-chains,the cruel knives with which Mr.Jones had been used to castrate the pigs and lambs,were all flown down the well.The reins,the halters,the blinkers,the degrading nosebags,were thrown on to the rubbish fire which was burning in th yard.So were the whips.All the animals capered with joy when they saw the whips going up in flames.Snowball also threw on to the fire the ribbons with which the horses; manes and tails had usually been decorated on market days.

"Ribbons," he said,"should be considered as clothes,which are the mark of a human being.All animals should go naked."

When Boxer heard this he fetched the small straw hat which he wore in summer to keep the flies out of his ears,and flung it on to the fire with the rest.

In a very little while the animals had destroyed everything that reminded them of Mr.Jones.Napoleon then led them back to the store-shed and served out a double ration of corn to everybody,with two biscuits for each dog.Then they sang'Beasts of England' from end to end seven times running,and after they settled down for the night and slept as they had never slept before.
