1. We are told "the pigs were so clever that they could think of a way round every difficulty." Apparently it is because of their cleverness that they do not do physical work, but supervise others. Yet, in terms of the business of farming, who understands it better than anyone else does, even better than Jones? 2. Orwell suggests that the pigs are the most clever. What is ironic about their cleverness and work? 3. In the early days of the revolution, what is the mood? What is Boxer’s attitude? 4. What happens on Sundays? 5. Since all the animals can vote, why are the pigs in charge of saying what is to be done and when? 6. What is the result of all the committees that Snowball starts? 7. For the more stupid animals, what slogan does Snowball invent that contains the essential principles of Animalism? 8. In this context, whom do the sheep represent in their bleating of this slogan? 9. Napoleon is very interested in the education of the young. But of all the baby animals, why might he select the nine puppies to educate on his own? 10. How does Squealer justify the pigs’ appropriation of the milk and apples for themselves? 11. We are told that Napoleon and Snowball disagree on just about everything. What, however, is the one thing on which they are in full agreement at the end of this chapter? 12. How does Snowball convince the animals to let the pigs have control over the milk and apples?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
