Chapter 1&2 Questions

Chapter 3 & 4 1. How is the farm becoming more like a civilized society? The farm is becoming more like a civilized society because the animals all have now taken a part in society except for Mollie. The animals are teaching themselves and making everything that they need to survive. 2. Describe the flag for the farm. Analyze the symbolism of it. The flag for the farm is an old green tablecloth found in the harness room. Snowball painted a hoof and a horn in white. The hoof and horn symbolized the "future Republic of the Animals. The green tablecloth represented the green fields of England. 3. What foreshadowing is given that Napoleon and Snowball are going into a power struggle? The author hints at a power struggle multiple times throughout the story. Whenever there was a big decision to make, when one would suggest something and no matter how efficient or practical it may have been, the other would automatically disagree. 4. Snowball simplifies the seven commandments. How is this new slogan a good propaganda technique? When Snowball simplified the seven commandments, he put it in six words: "Four legs good, two legs bad". This is a good propaganda technique because it persuaded the birds that they were also part of the "four legs". It also was engraved into the animals brains that couldn't understand the seven commandments. 5.Explain how the pigs set themselves up to be the elite on the farm. The pigs set themselves up to be the elite on the farm by being the leaders and saying that they needed to be treated special so they can do things that the other animals think that the farm needs to survive. Like when the pigs said that they don't like the milk or apples, but they need it to think better. I think that the pigs just said that to be greedy. 6. Brainwashing of the animals takes place. Describe Squealer's part in this. I think that Squealer brainwashed the animals by the convincing way he talks and stands from side to side and whisks his tail back and forth. 7. How is the Battle of Cowshed different from the rebellion? In the Battle of Cowshed, a human and a sheep was killed, whereas during the rebellion, nobody was killed. 8. Snowball and Boxer are both decorated after the battle. Explain the emotions of each concerning this. I think that Snowball and Boxer were both very proud, but upset at the same time. I think that it was bittersweet. 9. The animals have risked their lives to create a society in which they hold the power. From what you know aboout the pigs so far, why is this so ironic? I think that this is ironic because the pigs did nothing that they would have to die for. The pigs just said when to go and they directed the animals.
