Q's for Animal Farm (Week 10)-Tais

1. “...not knowing whether to be more frightened of the pigs or the human visitors.” Who do you think is more frightening for the animals now? Why?
I think that the animals are frightened because the pigs are becoming more and more like Mr. Jones, sometime even worse. This was a civilized farm with commandments and a bright future for the animals, but ever since Snowball was chased out, the farm has been going down hill. Commandments have been broken and a lot animals have died.

2. “It might be that their lives were hard and that not all of their hopes had been fulfilled; but they were conscious that they were not as other animals. If they were hungry, it was not from feeding tyrannical  human beings; if they worked hard, at least they worked for themselves. No creature among them went upon two legs. No creature called any other creature ‘Master’. All animals were equal.”
Is this an accurate portrayal of Animal Farm? Explain your answer.

No this is not accurate. The pigs were treated better than all the animals. The pigs got more food and more privileges (sleeping on the bed, making laws). All the other animals were working like slaves.

3. What do you think about Napoleon renaming Animal Farm? What message or point to you think Orwell is making through this?
I think that it shows how selfish Napoleon is, and how fast he turned on Mr. Jones. I think that Orwell is showing us how much power Napoleon really has over the farm.
