Animal Farm Ch. 7

What do the animals decide to do about the destroyed windmill?

• They decide NOT to rebuild it, believing that such modernization goes against Animalism.

• They decide to rebuild it with walls three times as thick. Boxer decides that he must "work harder."

• They decided to outsource the work to humans. The animals engage in capitalism, shop around for deals, and hire low-skilled labor at a low-wage.

• Many animals decide to flee Animal Farm and take up residence at neighboring farms. "Freedom will not feed our hungry mouths and aching bellies," cries Benjamin.

"Out of spite, the human beings pretended not to believe that it was Snowall who had destroyed the windmill: they said that it had fallen because..."

• the animals were too busy performing cannibalism.

• the walls were too thin

• Snowball possessed crucial pages from the directions

• the animals were too malnourished from the food shortage.

Although Animal Farm's food and quality of life diminish, Napoleon conceals this fact from the outside and spreads misinformation. How does he do this?

• Creates the illusion that there is an abundance of food so that Mr. Whymper will take notice and share his findings with the outside world.

• All flying animals travel to neighboring farms to spread word that Animal Farm is flourishing and that the Rebellion has only yielded success.

• Napoleon and Squealer allow Mr. Jones to return on the condition he agrees to spread word of Animal Farm as being more successfully run by the animals (working class).

After Squealer announces that the hens must "surrender their eggs" because Napoleon has accepted a contract through Mr. Whymper, the hens protest by flying up in the rafters and laying their eggs from up high so they smash upon the ground. How does Napoleon get the hens to comply?

• He offers them greater food rations, a three day work week, and early retirement.

• He cuts off their food rations and decrees that any animal that gives them even a grain of food will be executed.

• Squealer manipulates the hens into believing that surrendering their eggs is the only means of saving Animal Farm from Jones returning.

Who is rumored to be living on neighboring farms and frequenting the farms by night?! The very thought of it disturbs the animals to the point where they can hardly sleep at night.

• Mr. Jones

• Snowball

• Mr. Pilkington and Mr. Frederick

• Voldemort

What does Squealer tell the animals about Snowball?

• Snowball truly was a hero, and that he apologizes for his previous deceptions.

• Snowball was working with Jones all along. He was Jones's secret agent.

• Snowball's windmill designs were inferior to the new designs Napoleon has drafted up.

After Squealer makes certain accusations about Snowball, who challenges Squealer's claims?

• Boxer the horse

• Muriel the goat

• Benjamin the donkey

• All of the sheep

What was Squealer's proof that Snowball and Mr. Jones set up the Battle of the Cowshed?

• secret confessions

• secret documents

• he dreamt it

• he heard it from another animal... you don't know them, they go to another school, you haven't heard of it.

What skill did the animals need to prove Squealer a liar?

• the ability to read

• the ability to organize

• the ability to type

• the ability to... it's not this option

Four days after Boxer questions Squealer's claims about Snowball, Napoleon orders all animals to assemble in the yard. What happens at the meeting?

(Check all that apply)

• The dogs attacked and executed the four pigs who had protested the abolishment of the Sunday Meetings.

• The three hens who lead the egg protest come forward and claim that Snowball came to them in a dream and convinced them to disobey Napoleon. They, too, are executed.

• A goose confesses to stealing corn and is executed.

• A sheep confesses to urinating in the drinking pool and is then executed.

• Napoleon is maimed by Boxer, who stages a failed coup d'et (violent seizure of government).
