Animal Farm Questions
Chapter One:
A.) The pigs and dogs from the beginning arrange themselves in the front like they are above all the other animals, while the other animals sit in the back. Then later in the book, the pigs end up becoming the rulers of the farm and the dogs guard the pigs which pretty much makes them like a second in command to the pigs.
B.) Major told the animals that man is the real enemy. Man is the only ‘animal’ that doesn’t produce anything but he takes what the animals produce. He said that if they got rid of man, then all of their problems would be solved.
Chapter Two:
B.) There was a lot of difficulty on the farm due to Mr. Jones alcoholism. At one point when Mr. Jones is drunk, neither he nor his men feed the animals. That’s when they break into the feed shed and the men come after them with whip to run them off and the animals attack them.
C.) Everything the nose rings, dog chains, knives, the bits and some more are thrown down the well.
Chapter Three and Four:
B.) Squealer tries to claim that he has “scientific proof”, which is not true, and uses it to try to gain the animal’s sympathy. He is also always threatening that Mr. Jones will return if the animals choose to not obey what Napoleon tells them to do.
C.) The gun is used as a reminder or symbol of the successful fight they had against the humans. It is supposed to be fired twice a year to celebrate the Battle of the Cowshed and the anniversary of the Midsummer's Day Rebellion.
Chapter Five:
A.) Mollie is really stuck up and snooty and likes to be well taken care of and catered too with pretty ribbons and when she is faced with the hard work that she is being forced to do, she doesn’t like it, so she decides to leave.
C.) Since Napoleon pretty much sends Squealer out to do his dirty work for him and give the animals his orders, he doesn’t want any of the animals rebelling. So he places the dogs with Squealer to warn them that they could be killed if they get out of place.
Chapter Six and Seven:
A.) Because they are in short supply of things such as dog biscuits for example, so Napoleon decides that he is going to trade a part of the hay as well as a part of the wheat crop and will later sell the hen’s eggs.
C.) He begins by cutting off rations of their food and then if they decide to rebel more he orders them killed. In total, nine of the chickens were killed.
Chapter Eight and Nine:
B.) Not only does he have his own apartment inside the house, he also has his guard dogs with him almost at all times as well as having a couple different names for himself.
C.) Except for Benjamin, most of the animals have no clue what the commandments on the wall say and Benjamin chooses not to say anything. The animals are all really naïve and will pretty much go along with anything that they think Napoleon has said for them to do.
Chapter Ten:
B.) The new commandment is “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others”. This has applied throughout the whole book, since Napoleon started drinking milk and the pigs began to teach themselves how to read and write.
C.) Napoleon points out how all traces of rebellion have been erased, how the farm has been named back to “The Manor Farm”, and how the pigs pretty much own the farm. So he just points out the various changes to the farm that have been made.
