Animal Farm Thought Questions

7. I think that the followers should get some say in decisions from the leaders. If they don't then they're not going to be happy with what's going on on the farm. 8. They got away with staying in the farmhouse by saying the animals with the brains are able to stay in the house. This is why there was no fuss because the animals believed that the pigs were helping them. 9. No one complained about the pigs getting up one hour later than everybody else. This is because they said they need to rest their heads because they do all the thinking on the farm. 10. Napoleon knew that Snowball destroyed the windmill because Napoleon had a good sense of smell at this point. He smelt Snowball around where the windmill was in ruins. 11. Clover thinks things are not not going well on the farm, but she still believes things are better than they were in Jones's rule. This is because there is just that much morefreedom in Napoleon's rule. 12. Boxer works so hard because he doesn't want to let any of the other animals down. If he doesn't do his work hard enough, he will be sent to the glue factory. 13. This novel reflects the ideas of utopia and it's changing ideas because first it was horrible, then it was nice like a utopia. Last the farm was like it was in the beginning in Napoleon's rule.

 * The building of the windmill || The windmill is a symbol for Stalin's 'Five-Year plan'. Just a the windmill was promised to make the animal's life easier, the 'Five-Year Plan' was supposed to improve Soviet industry to the point that the proletariats' life as well by increasing production and allowing the soviets to shorten the work-week. And just like the windmill, Stalin's plan was an utter failure. After the destruction of the Windmill, the Animals decided to build another one and in real-life, Stalin kept churning out new 'Five-year Plans' - promising that each new plan would solve all of Russia's problems and bring the USSR closer to parity with the industrialized nations of the west.[[image:Windmill.jpg width="384" height="288"]] || This could be the dam in Great Falls. ||
 * Mr. Fredeick || Owner of Pinchfield (Leader of Germany). Frederick is a composite of the leaders of Germany. However, throughout most of the book, Frederick is a representation of Hitler. It is said that Frederick had flogged an old horse to death (A reference to Hitler's euthanasia program), he had starved his cows (A reference to the Jews?), he had killed a dog by throwing it into the furnace (Most likely a reference to Night of Knives), and that he amused himself in the evenings by making cocks (French? / Children?) fight with splinters of razor-blade tied to their spurs.[[image:Mr._fred.jpg]] || a vice president ||
 * Battle of the Cowshed || The Return of Jones . Red October. The battle of the Tsarists forces against the Bolsheviks. (The Reds vs. the Whites) "The civil war between the Bolsheviks (Reds) and the anti-Bolsheviks (Whites) ravaged Russia until 1920. The Whites represented all shades of anti-Communist groups, including members of the constituent assembly. Several of their leaders favored setting up a military dictatorship, but few were outspoken czarists."[[image:cowshed.jpg]] || Russia invaading ||
 * Napoleon || Napoleon is Joseph Stalin, the second leader of the Soviet Union.
