Animal Farm Chapter 7 and 8

In Chapters 5 and 6, we see Snowball and Napoleon's power struggle which forces Snowball to be chased out. The windmill project is started until the storm destroys it. Can you remember your prediction from the end of the chapters?

• Of course! I still stand by it.

• I did not know we were supposed to make a prediction.

• I remember the poll but I do not remember what I chose.

• I am so lost right now.

*note - the hens are forced to give up their eggs just like the farmers were forced to give the government profits from their farms. The chickens destroyed their eggs and the farmers destroyed their crops and animals. This would be considered Forced Collectivization.

*note - Napoleon too could be compared to Socialism

Which of these DID NOT occur when the hens were forced to give up their eggs ..

• If anyone was caught feeding the hens, they would be executed

• Napoleon cuts off the hen's rations

Which of these is Snowball NOT being accused of ?

• Sneaking around stealing the chicken's eggs

At first Boxer does not believe that Snowball is doing all things until ..

• he recalls the battle of the Cowshed

• he thinks he might be wrong since his memory is going

• he remembers that Napoleon is always right

• the pigs show him proof

Why does Boxer fight against the dogs when they begin grabbing the young pigs to be executed?

• He knows they are innocent

• The dogs colluded with Snowball

• Only adults could be executed

The animals begin to sing "Beasts of England" to console themselves after the execution. Who comes along and stops them from singing?

What myth (according to Napoleon) has Snowball spread about himself that was actually true?
