Animal Farm allegory table

|| Boxer symbolized the working class in Russia and the USSR for Orwell. Boxer also isn't the sharpest tool in the box. Most Russians of the working class in Orwell's time were not educated. || In my opinion Boxer represents America in the beginning when all the Americans where very, very hard workers who got they earned. Also Boxer is like early Americans when they all loved, trusted, and believed their leader. But since then America has slowly lost these great traits. || || The battle of the cowshed represented Red October in real life. Red October is the civil war in Russia between the Bolsheviks and the Anti-Bolsheviks that ravaged the country til' 1920. || For me the Battle of the Cowshed is the classic battle that any republic or country has to win to prove themselves. || || The animal farm flag represents the hammer and sickle which represents a communists society. || For me the flag is a sign of honor and pride for the animals. They can look at it and know they have something to live for that only the animals on this farm have the privilage of knowing. But this is soon abolished when Napoloen makes it just a green flag. || || Squealer represents the russian media who always modifies the truth to Stalin's (Napoloen) benefit. || For me Squealer represents the middle man of every leader. They may be well known, they may not be. ||

1. The animals where acting like animals by just sleeping in the barn eating hay, oats, and feed. They acted like humans by talking and organizing meetings like humans, also by reading and writing.

2. Old Major's speech was very, very important to the animals. First of all, he made the other animals realize that they don't have to live in their life-style. Also, with Old Major being old and wise the animals believed every bit of his speech.

3. By saying, "All men are enemies, all animals are comrades" Old Major makes the animals believe that all humans are like their farmer and all animals are working for the same cause. This is not true for either side.

4. The animals are so easily led because the pigs are thought very highly of on the farm.

5. Snowball says this because if Mollie wears the ribbons its a symbol of slavery and something the humans put on her that changes her image as an animal.

7. The seven commandments are very simple, basically saying anything that man has do with anything is bad.

8. Animalism and Marxism are the same because they are for the people (or animals) and in which only people or animals shall take only what they need. Nothing more.

Chapter 3 and 4 question answers:

1. The farm is becoming more like a civilized society because all of the adults are working, the youth are being educated, and there is a government.

2.The flag in the animal is green with a horn on it. The green symbolizes the green fields of England and the horn signifies the animal republic.

3.The foreshadowing that is given is that napoleon and snowball are always fighting or debating over simple things, but always ends in peace by closing with "beasts of England".

4.The simplified version of the 7 commandments is simple, "4 legs good, 2 legs bad". This is a simple easy rule for all the animals.

5.The pigs set themselves up as the elite on the farm by doing things like making the harness room a conference room for the pigs and taking all the apples for themselves because it makes the healthy and smart. Thankfully all the animals agree and are fine with these adjustments.

6.Brainwashing on the farm is taking place. Squealer's part in this is educating everybody about humans and telling them they are ALL bad, luckily it is an all animal society so this is alright.

7.The battle of the cowshed is different from the rebellion because the humans came and where prepared in the battle.

8.Boxer and Snowball are decorated with medals because of there actions in the line of duty and the other animals want this to be recognized.

9.The pigs are acting like farmer Jones and they are making the other animals turn into 2nd class citizens again.

Chapter 7 and 8 question answers:

1. Napoleon makes it seem fine by having squealer make speeches on things like what it would be like if Farmer Jones was there.

2. The hens are executed when they thwart Napoleon.

3.The memory of Snowball is horrible so the animals work harder because of utter hatred for snowball.

4. Napoleon wants to show his power so he executes the pigs showing he is not afraid of anything and if any animal shall disobey and order that will happen to them.

5.Clover sings beasts of England after the deaths because she mourns for a better animal society.

6.Napoleon says that the rebellion is complete so he abolishes the song but really he abolishes it because it says all animals are created equal.

Chapter 9 and 10 question answers:

1.

2.The pigs have mixed feelings about Moses but allow him to stay on the farm with a gill of beer every day. I think this is because he is a secret messenger for the pigs.

3.Boxer is admired by on the animals on the farm because of his strength, loyalty, and humbleness. The animals are led to believe that he is being sent to the knackers but squealer convinces them he is headed to the veterinarian. But I think that he was sent to the knackers and the pigs used the money from him to buy more whiskey.

4.The knackers represents the wars that the 2nd class was sent to their death while the leaders knew they weren't coming back.

5.The pigs seperated the farm into two classes: The first class (pigs, dogs, and important leaders) and the second class (all the other animals). The pigs did this for their benefit on pretty much everything on the farm.

Thought Questions:

1.If they did go away with Moses then they would be punished or slaughtered by Napoleon for leaving animal farm with Moses. Also, Moses was Jones's pet so he might still be allied with Jones.

2.The song and hope that their might be a better future.

3.They worked harder because they thought Jones might come back if they didn't work hard enough and got to much food. Also, because the animals are working for themselves and not humans.

4.He was against Snowball getting credit for it not against building the windmill. Because, he chased Snowball away so now he will get credit.

5.Snowball got into a fight because Napoleon ordered the dogs to attack Snowball because he won the election. No other animals stepped into to break the fight up because then they would be going against Napoleon and the dogs.

6.The philosophy was that if the animals made a wrong decision the pigs made them think Jones would come back.

7.Sometimes. He may have information that would scare or harm his followers there for he wouldn't tell them. But, somethings he needs to tell his followers so they can make a group decision.

8.Simply by changing the 7 commandments without the animals knowing. Squealer changed them in the night when everybody was asleep.

9.No one complained because they figured they are the leaders and if they don't have a leader than Jones would come back.

10.Napoleon knew Snowball destroyed the windmill because he saw Snowball's tracks. He also smelled his scent.

11.She thinks this because she know that since a human isn't in charge and then she knows things are better when the animals are in charge.

12.Boxer works so hard because he thinks Jones will come back Also he feels a sense of pride.

13.When the animals tried to make a Utopia but their is always a power-hungry leader. Therefore this is impossible.
