  1. Animal farm Answers – Chapter 1

  2. 1. • Their lives are miserable, hard and short. They are given little food. They work long hours, and once their usefulness is over they are killed. No animal is free. • Humankind steals everything the animals produce. • They are killed or are sent to the knacker’s. • They must rebel and overthrow humankind. • All humans are enemies; all animals are comrades; no animal must kill another animal; all animals are equal.

  3. This was a highly unusual occurrence; the animals admire Old Major; he speaks eloquently. • It convinced them completely; it aroused their emotions; they agreed with everything he said. • They became very excited at the idea of their freedom. The idea of rebellion came to the fore. • Yes. It is partly true – the animals lead hard lives, but the rest of his statements are generalisations, as is proved when the dogs chase the rats and when the vote about the animals’ equality takes place.

  4. 2

  5. 3 • Boxer – strong, unintelligent, steady and respected for his work ethic. Clover – kind and motherly. Benjamin – taciturn (not a great talker), cynical, devoted to Boxer. Mollie – foolish and vain, she is a pretty white mare who pulls Jones’s trap. • “Comrades” means friends or companions, but here it means a fellow socialist. He uses the term to unite the animals. • Open-ended question. Perhaps he is saying that humans are the enemy or that the animals must revolt.

  6. A short, catchy phrase or sentences that summarises an idea (motto). His slogan is: “All animals are equal”. • “slaughtered with hideous cruelty” ; “our labour is stolen” ; “scream your lives out” ; “cut your throat and boil you down” etc. 4 • Major has just said that all animals are equal, yet the dogs disprove this by chasing the cats. • Dogs instinctively chase running objects; many dogs are aggressive; they derive pleasure from chasing things. • Cats do things as and when it suits them. • There inbred structures of difference in every society. • The weak will always be victimised and oppressed.
