What is the rising action and inciting incident in the book "Animal Farm"?

The rising action occurs in Chapter 1 when Old Major gives his speech which will later be turned into the philosophy of Animalism. The animals prepare for rebellion and it comes much sooner than they had thought. The inciting incident occurs when Jones gets drunk and forgets to feed the animals. They break into the barn and help themselves to food. Jones and his men arrive with whips to get control of the animals but they drive off the humans and then gather all the tools men use to control them
( whips, nose rings, chains, etc) and burn them. They rename the farm "Animal Farm" and decide to rule themselves.
