15 George Orwell; Animal Farm DISCUSSIONS 1. Look back at the list of good leadership qualities made at the beginning of the novel. How do the pigs fit the list? Were there any attributes that the pigs lacked? Did they have some that were not on the list? 2.What importance does education have throughout the novel? How does it evolve? What are the differences between education and indoctrination? 3. Explain why an enemy or scapegoat is necessary for the animals. 4. Surely there is no on among you that wants to see Jones come back? Throughout the animals reign on the farm Napoleon and Squealer dangle the possibility of Jones return as a constant danger, keeping most of the other animals in fear, and thus, submission. Do you think that this was a valid threat? Do you feel that, overall, the animals were better or worse off once they were in control of the farm? 5. Throughout the novel, the natural characteristics of each animal figure heavily in their motives and pronouncements. How do the actions of Napoleon (a pig), Boxer (a horse), Benjamin (a donkey) and the dogs and sheep reflect the traits normally associated with the animal? Do your feel that Orwell purposely chose certain types of animals to assume certain roles? 6. Repeatedly, the animals sacrifice themselves in order to complete the windmill, only to see it destroyed time and again. What, if any, symbolic role does the windmill play? How do you account for the pigs insistence that it be built and re-built? 7. In one of the first scenes in the novel, Old Major sings Beasts of England, effectively bringing the animals together under a common purpose. Indeed, throughout the initial struggle against Man, it is a wildly popular and inspirational song. Yet later on, when the animals have successfully conquered the humans, Squealer, attended by two dogs, announces that Beasts of England had been abolished and was no longer needed. Why? Can you cite other examples where what was once held sacred and necessary to the common cause was later banished by decree? 8. Although Napoleon is considered the absolute Leader of Animal Farm, it is Squealer who is most adept at conveying the party line to the animals, often convincing them to disbelieve their own eyes. What methods does Squealer employ to deceive and/or placate the other animals? How does the concept of memory (or lack thereof) figure in Squealer s pronouncements and dealings with them? 9. Who were the villains of the story? Are they the same as you thought at the beginning of the novel? 15
16 Unit: Animal Farm ASSIGNMENTS 1. Write down at least 3 reasons why a government might be overthrown. 2. Identify two or three revolutions that occurred more then 10 years ago.

Who has the power to make changes in a democracy? How do people make those changes happen? 4.
