Exploring Chapter 5 of Animal Farm

As winter approaches, Molly becomes troublesome and eventually leaves the farm. The pigs, led by Snowball and Napoleon, take charge, but their constant disputes, especially over a proposed windmill, divide the animals. Snowball's innovative ideas clash with Napoleon's focus on food production. The farm also faces defense challenges, with differing strategies proposed. Ultimately, Snowball is expelled by Napoleon, who consolidates power and ends democratic meetings, claiming leadership is a burden. The animals, intimidated by Napoleon's dogs, accept the new order.

Why did Molly often arrive late for work?

• She was working on a secret project.

• She was busy helping other animals.

• She overslept.

• She was sick.
