This just means that these animals are working and laboring for no other than for animals in general and not for any other species out there like the humans. they are doing the kinds of things that will be beneficial and just helpful for all of the animals that are corresponding to the work itself (which are all the ones on the farm) and as for the humans, they do not wish to give them anything in terms of goods, or productivity.

2. What do you think would happen to the animals, if Boxer wasn't at the farm.
Without Boxer, these animals would have productivity on the farm and would definitely not get anything done in terms of getting the crops in and anything that has to do with hard labour.

3. Who do you think Boxer represents as a leader?
As far as leaders go, I feel as if Boxer represents Bill clinton simply because he was a leader of a country yet, he knew how hard it was to get by in the country itself and participated in many countless acts throughout his term. He volunteered for the people and helped with many causes to help improve the lives of all around. boxer also works hard and strives to do the thing he know best to do; help out the whole.

4. Without Boxer what are they left with?
A= chaos, Mousollini= Boxer, napoleon= hitler, need to maintain order.
Without boxer, chaos isd imminent just because he is trhe workforce and a country is not a country without it's people, therefore the farm would just go into complete ruins without him.

5. Are the animals becoming into what they once despised?
Yes the animals themselves are becoming vindictive and trying to control the every essence of the farm while trying to stay within these imaginary rules that obviously don't exist anymore. they are becoming the humans since they are sleeping in their beds and treating the each other in such ways that are shown to be just like those of the farm owners in the beginning of the story.

6. theme: slavery, or voluntary working?
pg. 60; physically different than humans, not civilized.

7. competing for freedom.
the idea of individuality and maturity. "it makes you who you are...." Kelvin/ fighting for your originality.

8. Do you think you do things for yourself or someone else/

Everyone regardless of what they might say, do things for themselves. Someone looks out for their well being before anyone elses and in very tense situations, this can be proven to take effect a case in point is if you have a gun pointed at your friend, will you think of yourself or them?

1. Animals work for themselves; "their kind not idle, thieving humans beings" pg.59
I agree.

2. What do you think would happen to the animals, if Boxer wasn't at the farm.
They will refer to chaos because boxer is sort of a peace idol for the animals to keep sane.

3. Who do you think Boxer represents as a leader?
He represents senator McCain because he has a lot of ideas but not many people l

4isten.. Without Boxer what are they left with?
A= chaos, Mousollini= Boxer, napoleon= hitler, need to maintain order.
Napoleon

5. Are the animals becoming into what they once despised?
Yes. They are turning into what they hate and the pigs are becoming like Mr.Jones.

6. theme: slavery, or voluntary working?
pg. 60; physically different than humans, not civilized.
I think its more slavery because most animals rather not do work they just want to be free without the work.

7. competing for freedom.
the idea of individuality and maturity. "it makes you who you are...." Kelvin/ fighting for your originality.
I agree.

8. Do you think you do things for yourself or someone else.
Exactly
I do things more for someone else because, in life your always trying to impress and whatever it takes you usually are trying to stand out.

Slavery is at play between the animals because the animals work much harder than when Mr. Jones was in charge and the pigs are treatred like kings while the other animals work like slaves.
Text to Text Connection: Are the animals becoming more like Mr. Jones?
Some animals like Napoleon and Squealer are becoming like Mr. Jones with that they use the animals for their own selfish interset.
Are the animals like soldiers answering demands without question?
The animals are like soldirers since they follow orders without question their commands.
Respond: The animals feared the humans, now they fear each other.
Back when they were still under human tyranny they were afraid of getting hit but now they are afraid of themselves since those that have power are greatly abusing it.
Is Napoleon like Stalin where they both manipulating everyone everyone to overthrow Snowball?
Napoleon is very like similar to Stalin because he convinces them that Snowball is evil in carne and blames everything that goes wrong on Sonwball.
All year round the animals work like slaves but they are happy because they are surrounded by friends and don't have to deal with humans. Is that really freedom? This is not really freedom becasue the animals do not really have a choice in the matter but are ignoran to what is really happening to them.

Do you feel like the animals are going to revolt again?
I sincerliry doubt that the animals are going to revolt again, the reason why is that they are happy ruling themselves and are more afraid of Napoleon then they were of
What will they do without the supplies they need for the windmill?
Without the supplies for the windmills they will need to do several things. The first is that they have to come into contact with the humans. The second is that they will need to trade something valuable for the necesary items.
Are they regretting banishing Mr. Jones?
They are still not regretting banishing MR. Jones because they still think that they rule themselves but Napoleon is actually ruling them.
Is Napoleon making the farm seem in better condition than it really is with Mr. Whymper?

Napoleon makes the farm look in far better conditin than what it in reality with Mr. Whymper so that he would report to the outside world would be better.

What do you think would happen to the animals, if Boxer wasn't at the farm. I think that to the animals Boxer is nothing more than a hard worker who can be easily replaced, he is not a leader or an essential part in their society.

Who do you think Boxer represents as a leader? I don't think Boxer is not a leather, in Russian society he represents the working p[art of society. those that to the leaders are easily replaced.

Without Boxer what are they left with? With Boxer they would be left with a lot of extra work that no one will be welling to do. Chaos may decline from the fact that the work can't get done.
A= chaos, Mousollini= Boxer, napoleon= hitler, need to maintain order.

Are the animals becoming into what they once despised? All the bigs are not only starting to act as human, but they are becoming like Mr. Jones, someone that just uses the animals for the hard work that no one wants to do.

theme: slavery, or voluntary working?
pg. 60; physically different than humans, not civilized. The animals have slowly enslaved themselves to perform a task that only proves that they needed Mr. Jones after all, but certain ones have become Mr. Jones him self.

Slavery is a play in the book because in my point of view, The animals work very hard and Mr Jones doesnt even care about them. They work most of their time and its not even fair

Without Boxer the animals wont get any thing done they wont have that person giving them advise to keep working. They will become lazier and wont want to work.

1) i feel the animals work for themselves on the farm, to hold a certain line of respect, and any try to better themselves for personal reasoning.

2)if Boxer were no longer in the farm , i think the animals will not have anyone to push them as much and strive for better but themselves. therefore work and living ways will be delayed.

3)if i were able to relate him to a political letter now id say he'd be Mayor Bloomberg.

4)They'd be left with Napolean & Chaos.

5)I feel the animals are turning into their alter ego and becoming what they feared from the beginning.

6) i think the theme would fall more into the category of the animals being enforced by slavery. They are being forced to do the work 70% of them are to lazy and push their own weight because they have too but rather not .

7)

8)Throughout life alot of things are done for yourself but most affect others. whatever you do does not only effect yourself it affets the life of others as much as you may not believe it does , but i've learned that in life you have to strive for the better of yourself.

Is slavery at play between the animals?
- I believe slavery is at play because the animals are running low on supply and they are looking for someone to blame. They are going through some tough times and I believe they can get through them because they are very strong in the sense of loyalty.

Text to Text Connection: Are the animals becoming more like Mr. Jones?
-I think they are because they are doing the same exact work they were doing with Mr. Jones. The reason they are not complaining is because they know that they're working for themselves and not Mr. Jones. Also, they even hire a human to help them out in the farm.

Are the animals like soldiers answering demands without question?
-They are because now they're working without complaining or feeling tired. They don't even question the demands given to them so they are very much acting like soldiers receiving orders.

-If they believe its freedom, then I thinks it is freedom. The animals have always been working for humans and now that they work for themselves they think that that is freedom.

Not all of the animals, just Snowball. Snowball seems to have learned that even though he may angry at Mr. Jones for all he had done, he still had to learn from his mistakes and his actions.

Are the animals like soldiers answering demands without question?
They are acting a lot more like soldiers than slaves because they are blindly following orders. Therefore, yes.

Respond: The animals feared the humans, now they fear each other.
The animals will always fear something because they are insecure about the future and they thought they could take control of that by getting rid of the person practically deciding their future for them. They feared the humans because they were in control, but now that the animals are in control, they fear the animals themselves.

Is Napoleon like Stalin where they both manipulating everyone everyone to overthrow Snowball?
I don't think Napoleon is like Stalin because Stalin overworked his own people for the money he would make from a third party. Napoleon is overworking his own kind for the power.

All year round the animals work like slaves but they are happy because they are surrounded by friends and don't have to deal with humans. Is that really freedom?
Bluntly, no. Freedom is where you could do anything at your own whim. The animals are confined to do something that some, like Benjamin, don't want to do.

Do you feel like the animals are going to revolt again?
The animals might revolt, I do feel like they will. However, the revolts will eventually lead them back to square one.

The only hope they have as a farm is to unite with another farm and work out some sort of trade system.

They are only regretting banishing Mr. Jones for hat he could do and what they can't do, like but stuff at the store.
