I think it was fair that the animals revolutionized, because they where in really bad condition. They didn't had any food and no one cared about them.
2. Do you sympathize with the animals complains and goals? Why? Why not?
Yes, because they had there reasons to do it. One of the main reason was the kind of treatment they were given and that they were crowded, all the animals in the same place.
3. Describe how the rebellion takes place? How does the animals behaviour during the rebellion suggest human characteristics?
The revolution is started by Old Major, who is a pig that is tired of the abuse of human beings (which are superior to animals). They are similar to humans because after they got the power over the farm, the pigs started to change the original rules and started to be dishonest with their own "people".
5. What was your reaction to Snowball's expulsion from Animal Farm? Explain.
I didn't like it, because he was the only pig that was trying to do good things to the farm and the animals. He also was the only one that followed Old Major initial ideas.
6. Identify tree ways that Napoleon tries to solidify his leadership position on the farm. How the process of decision making on the farm change under Napoleon's leadership?
One of them was stealing the puppies from their mother (and train them), another way that he solidifies his position was attacking Snowball. And finally, changing the original rules or commandments to his own benefit.
The process of decision making changes a lot, because Napoleon tries to make all for his own good, so he changes things and make animals believe things that are not real, so this way they take the decision that he wants.
7. Why the executions take place? What message do these events send to the animals about their role in a future society?
They begin as a tactic of control. The message being delivered is that if you don't follow the rules, you will die. This is how they keep the animals under control.
8. Do you think it's fair that those who are more educated or more skilled (like the pigs in animal farm) have more influence on the decision making? Who makes the decisions in your family, community and nation?
Yes, because they will take better decisions (or they supposedly should) based on their knowledge and experiences. In my family the decisions are makes by my paerents and in the country by the president.
9. By the end of the film it can be suggested that the pigs and human political leaders are interchangeable. How might power change those who have it?
Having the feeling of power makes people (or animals in this case) think that they can do anything they want, especially to their own favor, despite what the rest think.
10. In your opinion are the pigs more intelligent than all the other animals? What qualities enabled them to lead the others? Provide examples that support your answer.
Pigs were not smarter, but they had more conviction power that the rest of the animals. For example, when Snowball tries to build a windmill, and Napoleon said it was a bad idea, but then they did it any way.
