Literature Web: chapters 3&4 that the pigs are in charge and that they have the best ideas. Some may have felt sad, and confused, maybe proud at first. //Author//: The author doesn't seem to like the pigs very much because he portrays them as propaganda users and brain washers. The pigs actually represent Joseph Stalin (Napolean), the Russian media ( Squealer), and Leo Trotsky (Snowball). //**Me**//: I think the pigs are good persuaders and have mostly gained the other animals' trust, but I think they are not ones to be trusted and just want power. Negative about pigs, enjoying book, and surprised by some things that happened. || someone else. The story is also kind of "shady" in some places and/or vague. was that the horn stood for power and the hoof stood working together. The green was for the green fields of England.

who spread Napolean's (Stalin's) point of view, or version of the truth to the masses in Russia (the sheep). || //**Me:**// For me Squealer represents the one who convinces the people or animals of the "truth".

Evil Step-mother and daughter(Margarete): These two characters symbolize Napolean because all they want is to have the daughter become Queen. They are power hungry, like Napolean. Also they whipped their servants if they disobeyed, like Napolean.

Jacqueline (the stepmothers other daughter): Jacqueline symbolizes Mollie because she is part of the upper class and likes to be pampered sometimes. One time in the movie she got upset and complained because one of the servants didn't get up to make breakfast, so her mother made //her// do it.

Servants: The servants in the movie represent the working class and Boxer because they are forced to work for an unwanted master.

Evil Step-mother: In the movie, the step-mother lies about her step-daughter to the queen so that she can get her way( again trying to get her daughter, Margarete to become Queen). Her story was persuasive enough to convince the queen. In these ways the step-mother is like Squealer who had to convince, persuade, and lie to the animals in Animal Farm. || Thought Questions 5. The other animals didn't intervene because they were probably too 7. I think the leader needs to share the information he/she has gathered with their followers, and shouldn't make all the decisions because it isn't fair that the followers should be ignorant to what decisions are made. The leader needs to take 8. Squealer and his group didn't have trouble inhabiting the farm house even though there was an earlier resolution not to inhabit it because they simply changed the commandment that said something against it. Since the animals couldn't remember exactly what the commandment had said before they had no reason to object to the pigs moving in. This was an advantage to the pigs in several situations. 9. The animals didn't complain because they were scared that Napolean's dogs would hurt them if they did anything. Also the animals looked up to Boxer who always said, "Napolean is always right". 10. Napolean said he could smell Snowball distinctly all around the windmill and that he found tracks that most definitly belonged to him. Napolean also said he found documents telling what Snowball was doing. 11. Clover couldn't remember what things were like when Jones was in charge 12. 13.
