In chapters 8 and 9 of "Animal Farm," the following plot events occur:

  1. The pigs reduce the animals’ rations yet again.
  2. The dogs attack Snowball and chase him away from the farm. (This occurred earlier, in Chapter 5, but it is relevant to the storyline.)
  3. The pigs have Boxer killed, but they lie about him dying in the hospital.
  4. The animals rebuild the windmill with walls twice as thick as before.
  5. The pigs start drinking whiskey to excess and wearing green ribbons.
  6. Animal Farm is declared a republic, and Napoleon is elected president.

The event about the howling thunderstorm destroying the windmill does not occur in these chapters; rather, the windmill is destroyed during a battle with the humans in Chapter 8.

So, the checked events from your list relevant to Chapters 8 and 9 would include the first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth items.
