8. Why do you think the animal committees failed?

10. How do you interpret the different learning abilities of the animals?

The nonintelligent animals are more likely to be manipulated and controlled by the intelligent animals; like the pigs toward the sheep.

11. Why do you think the seven commandments became one? What effect, if any, does this have on the other animals?

12. What can the repetition of “Four legs good, two legs bad!” be likened to?

13. How do you interpret Napoleon’s decision to educate the nine puppies?

Napoleaon's decision to educate the nine puppies, I think is a bad decision. Napoleon is a pig and doesn't know how to raise puppies to be like dogs. He will most likely raise them to be a like pigs instead of living like dogs. Napoleon only takes in the puppies so they will be loyal to him incase him and Snowball have a falling out and so that him Napoleon can have more power than Snowball. (Mallory Sowa Pd.3)

14. What modern day role does Squealer fulfill on the farm? The modern day role Squeler plays on the farm is the public relations manager.

15. Why do the animals murmur?

The animals murmur because they didn't think it was fair that the pigs got the windfalls but they didn't get their fair share. It was no use because most of the were fully agreeing on the excuse squealer told them about why they don't share.( John A. Concepcion- Per 3)

16. Comment on Squealer’s explanation. What techniques does he use to create a successful argument?

He convinces the animals by simply saying he is just looking out for them and has their best interests at heart.

17. Was the explanation generally well accepted? Who might have some misgivings? Squelers explination seemed to be generally accepted, because the animals agreed that the keeping the pigs ingood help would asure the safety of the farm. I think that the more inteligent animals will have some misgivnings.

18. Compare and contrast life and the expectations of the animals right after the rebellion with life as described in this chapter. See page 7. After the rebellion the produce of the farm belonged to all animals and there is enough food for everyone. They all work together for the good of all animals and there is a sense of unity. There is a sense of freedom and all animals are equal. I chapter three there is a separation among the animals according to their intelligence. The pigs are the smartest and the other animals are less intelligent. All the animals except the pigs are working much harder than under Jones. The animals sense that there is some unfairness and inequality regarding who gets the milk and apples. Mrs. Burke

Summary and alternate title

 * Chapter 4 **

1. What do the pigeons represent? The pigeons represent missionaries who are carrying the the good news of animalism to the surrounding farms. Mrs. Burke

2. What has become of Mr. Jones? Mr. Jones spends most of his time in the pub/bar drinking and complaining about what has happened to him. Mrs. Burke

3. Describe the Battle of the Cowshed? Jones, his men and the farmers from the two farms closest to Manor Farm join forces and launch an attack on Animal Farm. At first the men are attacked by birds and the men easily chased them away. The men feeling victorious chase after the animals and go further into the farm. To their surprise the cows, horses and Snowball ambush the men and begin butting, goring and kicking the men. Unprepared for the attack from behind the men run in fright. The animals chase them off the farm. A sheep is killed and Snowball is hurt by a bullet fired from Jones' gun. After the short but very effective battle, the celebrate. There is a spontaneous ceremony and the animals sing the Beast of England several times. In the heat of the victory, the animals agree to create two medals of honor. The deep sheep received the Animal Hero, Second class medal and Boxer and Snowball receive Animal Hero, First Class medals. Mrs. Burke

4. What is ironic about the war medals “Animal Hero, First Class” and “Animal Hero, Second Class”? The medals make distinctions between the animals fist and second class. They are now no longer equal. The medals are also meant to be worn on the days they celebrate their battles and could be likened to clothes. This breaks one of the commandments and draws the animals closer to being more like the humans they vowed never to resemble. Mrs. Burke
