Chapter 5 questions

1) See Below.

2) My questions:

  1. Now with Snowball gone, do you think that napoleon will bring the farm down or advance it in technology and how it runs? Explain.
  2. In real life do you think Leon Trotsky; the person Snowball represents will come back to the farm? If so how will he do this? Look up the Russian revolution to do this.
  3. Do you think the windmill will actually be built? If so look up the Russian revolution and see what the windmill represents.

3) Kathleens Questions:

1.Do you think that the pigs should have gone with the windmill plan or the plan to increase food production?

I think they should have gone with the food production idea, because the windmill creates electicity which is a thing of man, so they are turning themselves into humans.

2.Do you believe that Napolean Is always right?

NO i dont think he is right, but at the start when him and snowball sort of getting along with thier ideas and the farm was working great.

3.What is the colour ribbon Mollie likes to wear?

mollie likes all differnet colours of ribbions as long as there ribbions.

Yes, number one is tricky and like your other three questions really gets to the heart of the connections between the allegory that Animal Farm is and the real life experiences of the revolution.
Very interesting point on the windmill being an idea which would make them more like humans - I'd never thought of it like that before but I think you may be on to something - Orwell's critique is very nuanced. I think you could certainly expand on your answer about Napoleon and his rightness (or otherwise) because I think you are right that at least at first the farm seems to be getting along well - just as Russia was straight after the Revolution.
