Thought questions
1. They didn't trust the crow because he was Farmer Jones' pet. Also, the pigs convinced the animals that there was not a Sugar Mountain.
2. The Beasts of England was all about rebellion, and convinced animals to rebel. It later became the Animal Farm anthem.
3. The pigs came by daily and told them that work conditions and productivity only kept getting better. Therefore, the animals thought that things were better than in Jones' rule, when it really wasn't.
4. Napoleon says that he's against the windmill being built because it won't work. Later, he says that his disapproval was tactics, and the plans had been stolen from all along.
5. Napoleon raised puppies to be his fierce bodyguards and told them to banish Snowball from Animal Farm. The other animals didn't stop him because they were scared as these events were unfolding around them.
6. The pigs had gotten the animals to believe that they can only be dumb animals who couldn't possibly survive without a strong leader. Because of this image, the animals didn't question the pigs' actions.
7. The people would want the opportunity to have knowledge. If they are not informed on these matters, than the leaders cannot possibly know if it's in all the people's very best interest.
8. They came up with a bunch of dumb reasons to justify this action. They also changed some commandments regarding the issue.
9.They were scared about the dogs standing behind all the pigs. Also, some may have thought that this was for the good of Animal Farm and the animals
10. He claimed to have found a bunch of evidence pointing towards that pig. Napoleon actually tricked the animals to make Snowball seem pure evil.
11. She thinks that they are free, and only working for themselves. However, she hasn't noticed that things continually get worse and worse.
12. It's the only thing he's really good at that can help the farm. He cares about animal farm and wants to help its growth.
13. This book shows how easily a utopia can be had, and then lost. Animal Farm started as a utopia, but quickly fell all apart.
Animal Allegory Table

Character, event, theme	What it symbolizes for Orwell	What it symbolizes for Dorie
Animal Farm, the book	soviet russia everything in the book represents something from Soviet Russia	I think it is like really good food! The first time you eat it, it is absolutely incredible! You don't think that you could ever go back. Then there are leftovers. You have it for the second time, and it doesn't taste nearly as good as it did the first time.
Animalism	communism everyone works, everyone gets the same pay	To me, it feels like the Jetsons movie. It's where Mr. Jetson is sent to work at a big factory where they make these gear thingies. Every night, after the machinery is all fixed up and ready to go, these little creatures come in the middle of the night and sabotage it all. Mr. Jetson tries to watch the place at night, but falls asleep and is carried off by the little creatures to their underground city.
taking on human habits	tyranny it goes against their original beliefs	hypocrisy it's where someone publicly says that they'll do one thing or believe one thing, then they go and do the exact opposite.
changing the commandments	propaganda it forced the animals to accept controversial events	sort of like secretly editing the constitution to say that the current president shall stay in office for the rest of his life rather than leave after their term ends.
