| What was wrong with Boxer's hoof? | It was split and he was in pain for a long time because it took a long time to heal. |
| What was the retirement age for the animals? | At the beginning, when the laws of Animal Farm were first formulated, the retiring age had been fixed for horses and pigs at twelve, for cows at fourteen, for dogs at nine, for sheep at seven, and for hens and geese at five. |
| Was box and Clover looking forward to retirement? | Yes, they booth kept working hard, expecting to retire soon. |
| What were the rations like this winter? | Once again all rations were reduced, except those of the pigs and the dogs. |
| How did Squealer speak of the reduction in the food rations? | Squealer always spoke of it as a “readjustment,” never as a “reduction” |
| What lies about how life was like now compared to how it was with Jones did Squealer continue to tell? | Reading out the figures in a shrill, rapid voice, he proved to them in detail that they had more oats, more hay, more turnips than they had had in Jones’s day, that they worked shorter hours, that their drinking water was of better quality, that they lived longer, that a larger proportion of their young ones survived infancy, and that they had more straw in their stalls and suffered less from fleas. |
| Who was given even more preferential treatment during this time? | The pigs were with a new rule that when a pig and any other animal met on the path, the other animal must stand aside: and also that all pigs, of whatever degree, were to have the privilege of wearing green ribbons on their tails on Sundays. |
| Who was gaining weight even when the rest of the animals were having to reduce their rations more and more? | the pigs |
| Even though things were harder on the animals, what did they get more of? | There were more songs, more speeches, more processions |
| What did Boxer and Clover had to carry between them on procession days? | Boxer and Clover always carried between them a green banner marked with the hoof and the horn and the caption, “Long live Comrade Napoleon!” |
| What was Animal Farm declared in April? | a Republic |
| Who was elected President of the Republic? | There was only one candidate, Napoleon, who was elected unanimously. |
| What happened to Boxer right before his 12th birthday? | His health continued to fail, and he lost weight. A few minutes later two pigeons came racing in with the news; “Boxer has fallen! He is lying on his side and can’t get up!” |
| What did Benjamin say was going to happen to Sick Boxer? | “‘Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler, Willingdon. Dealer in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied.’ Do you not understand what that means? They are taking Boxer to the knacker’s!” |
| What did the animals yell to Boxer as he was driven away? | "Get out!" and Boxer did try to get out of the van, but he did not have enough strength to get out. |
| What did Squealer say about Boxer's death? | Three days later it was announced that he had died in the hospital at Willingdon, in spite of receiving every attention a horse could have. Squealer came to announce the news to the others. He had, he said, been present during Boxer’s last hours. |
| What did Squealer say with regard to the care that Boxer received? | Squealer went on to give further graphic details of Boxer’s death-bed, the admirable care he had received, and the expensive medicines for which Napoleon had paid without a thought as to the cost, their last doubts disappeared and the sorrow that they felt for their comrade’s death was tempered by the thought that at least he had died happy. |
| Where had the pigs acquired the money to buy themselves another case of whisky? | from the money they got from getting Boxer turned into glue. |
| Was the farm prosperous now for everyone as it was first intended after the rebellion? | the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer-except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs. |
| Why was there a terrified neighing of a horse? | pigs could be seen walking on two legs!!! |
| What did the sheep begin to say when the pigs began walking on their hind legs? | terrified neighing of a horse. |
| What did Clover ask Benjamin after the pigs walked around and the sheep stopped bleating? | Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?” |
| What was the only commandment written on the wall now? | ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS |
| After the new commandment was posted, what was accepted on the farm? | It did not seem strange to learn that the pigs had bought themselves a wireless set, were arranging to install a telephone, and had taken out subscriptions to ‘John Bull’, ‘Tit-Bits’, and the ‘Daily Mirror’. It did not seem strange when Napoleon was seen strolling in the farmhouse garden with a pipe in his mouth — no, not even when the pigs took Mr. Jones’s clothes out of the wardrobes and put them on, Napoleon himself appearing in a black coat, ratcatcher breeches, and leather leggings, while his favourite sow appeared in the watered silk dress which Mrs. Jones had been used to wearing on Sundays. |
| Who was in the farmhouse with the pigs? | Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. |
| What did Napoleon now call Animal Farm? | the farm was to be known as “The Manor Farm” |
| What was the uproar in the farmhouse about? | a violent quarrel was in progress. There were shoutings, bangings on the table, sharp suspicious glances, furious denials. The source of the trouble appeared to be that Napoleon and Mr. Pilkington had each played an ace of spades simultaneously. |
| Pilkington represents ___________. | Winston Churchill of England |
