Once the animals have chased the humans off the farm, what is the first thing they do?

They destroy the equipment used to enslave them.

They set up a flagpole and shrine to Old Major.

“Rings shall vanish from our noses/And the harness from our back/Bit and spur shall rust forever/Cruel whips no more shall crack.” This stanza from “Beast of England” does all of the following EXCEPT …

Foreshadows how difficult it will be to rebel against man

Reminds the animals of their humiliation

Serves as symbols of slavery and oppression

Gives imagery of freedom from man

If you wanted to prove that Mr. Jones is a tyrannical and cruel leader, which piece of evidence would be the strongest support for this character trait?

“Let us face it: [under Mr. Jones] our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep breath in our bodies, and [we] are forced to work to the last atom of our strength…[then] we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty”

“Mr. Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the popholes”

[Mr. Jones] is the only creature that consumes without producing.

“The rest [of the eggs and milk] have gone to market to bring in money for Jones and his men”

There is no distinct class system, so everyone is equal and works to his or her capacity

Communists behave more like animals than humans

There is no government and no leaders

Communists own private businesses just as each animal produces individual products

Which line from Old Major's speech reveals to us the core message of the Seven Commandments?

“Remember also that fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him”

“All men are enemies. All animals are comrades”

“Man serves the interests of no creature except himself”

“Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own”

Most of the Seven Commandments best represent:

The rejection of human status symbols and vices

The new religion and rules of God that the animals will follow

The belief that animals are stronger and better than humans

The new constitution that is protected against changes

"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades," cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, "surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?" Squealer is able to convince the animals that the pigs deserve the milk and animals by…

A combination of fabricated statistics and fear tactics

A combination of sweet-talking and trickery

A combination of fabricated statistics and guilt

A combination of sweet-talking and guilt
