We have seen many changes in the commandments set out at the start of the rebellion.
Q1. In what way have the commandments changed?
Q2. How have the pigs gotten away with these changes?
Group task
In groups of four - get together and analyse the poem 'Comrade Napoleon' on page 68.
-Think about the ways in which language is being used to manipulate the animals on the farm.
-Which parts are truthful and which are not?
Visualising
Draw the portrait of Napoleon that was placed on the side of the barn. How would he have seen himself?
Describe the relationship between Napoleon, Fredrick and Pilkington.
Symbolism
What do you think the windmill symbolises for the animals?
"And for a while they halted in sorrowful silence at the place where the windmill had once stood. Yes, it was gone, almost the last trace of their labour was gone!"
