    Homework Assignment

    Chapter 1
    Instructions:

    Identify the character from the quote or description.

    1. Alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed: Benjamin the Donkey
    2. “Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilises it, and yet there is not one of us that owns
    more than his bare skin.”: Old Major
    3. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance.: Boxer
    4. He was still a majestic-looking pig, with a wise and benevolent appearance.: Major

    Chapter 2

    Discussion Questions

    1. Why don’t the pigs like the pet raven Moses’ stories about Sugarcandy
    Mountain?
    Ans: This is because they knew if he makes it sounds like dying is pleasant, the
    animals won’t mind sacrificing their lives and rebel until the next generation.

    2. Think about the events that began the Revolution - Jones’ mismanagement of
    the farm, hungry cows, violence by the human beings - as well as all the thinking,
    teaching, planning, and organizing that the pigs did. In your opinion would it have
    been possible for the Revolution to have happened without Animalism?
    Ans: In my opinion, without ever a change in any type of society, like the animals
    in this book, nothing would take place. With all the planning and different
    qualities applied on each animal, the revolution had taken place else humans
    would still be doing the same things with animals like slaughtering, etc.

    3. The words Orwell uses to describe the morning after the revolution are very
    descriptive. What sort of words and images does he use? What does he want us
    to think about the farm?

    Ans: In the novel, Orwell uses words like “gazed” or “ecstasy”, which convey his
    sentiment to the reader. Along with that, Orwell creates an image of the
    countryside, making it idyllic and idealized. Using phrases like “sweet summer
    grass” or “rich scent” allows him to depict the environment in the book. Finally,
    he wants to show the significance of the Russian Revolution but in the
    perspective of animals and to appreciate how animals take control of the farm.

    4. The pigs begin to slowly take more control than the others. Can you find some
    examples of this in Chapter II?
    Ans: The pigs began to take control than the others by reading, writing, teaching,
    distributing food to other animals, and calling all animals to harvest. They try
    their best to show a few human qualities and try doing them themselves along
    with motivating other anils to do it.

    5. The animals change the name of the farm from Manor Farm to Animal Farm.
    Why is this important? What does changing a name do for ideas, behaviour,
    power, etc.? Can you think of any examples in the real world

    Ans: By changing the name of the farm from Manor to Animal, they try to show
    their dominance and try to express that they now own he land nobody else
    (usually a human) could take it from them. The changing of the name even
    shows about the real-life communist rule in Russia where the name changed
    to Soviet Union.
