Writing Questions 1. Do you think it’s fair that those who are more educated or more skilled—like the pigs in Animal Farm—have more influence in decision making? Part II Consider how decisions are made in your community or in the nation.

2. Chapter 8: Despite changing conditions on the farm, why do the animals continue to believe everything the pigs tell them—about Napoleon, Snowball, food shortages, and their current lives? Part II: Discuss real-life situations in which a person or group might believe one thing even though the evidence reveals something different.

3. List instances in the book when language is used to further the idealogy such as the names and titles for Napoleon and the different names for the windmill. The messages and commandments change over time. What is Orwell saying about communication and thinking in a totalitarian regime? Then focus on one or two examples and discuss the reality of this being able to happen.

4. Choose one of the Animals to discuss that is not a pig that you most relate to. Why does the animal react the way he/she does? What might the animal represent historically? What part of this society does the animal play? Why do you relate? How can this be seen in today’s life?
