Ch.7
1)The animals did not want the humans to know that they were doing badly. they wanted their image to stay strong and proud.
2)The hens, as they refused to lay the amount of eggs required to fulfill their contract.
3)Snowball was coming to the farm at night and destroying everything in the barn. He said that anything that went wrong was usually attributed to Snowball. That practice became commonplace.
4)Napoleon started killing rebellious animals.
5)These things were not what Old Major would have wanted to happen when he started the rebellion.
Ch.8
1)He appointed himself that term and spread it around the barn like a rumor.
2)The animals thought he was selling it to Pilkington.
3)A random gander.
4)He stopped showing up to meetings and let his minions do the work for him.
5)The windmill got blown up by Fredericks and his men.
6)He says that the victory was gaing their land back. The land that they had before, but lost...right.
7)He was changing the commandments and manipulating the animals' minds.
Ch.9
1)He was going off to the slaughterer's, not the hospital.
2)He used words like readjusted, instead of what they all know he really means, reduced.
3)
4)That mountain is supposed to be where all animals go when they are ready to die. Of course, it does not exist, but whatever.
Ch.10
1) It's just like saying that blacks are equal to whites, but whites are just more equal. It doesn't make any sense! That's the meaning of the word equal; to not be different!

2. The hens started the “rebellion”. Napoleon told them that their eggs would be taken away so they could be sold to Whymper. They said it was like murder so they went up to a high point, laid their eggs and dropped them.
3. Squealer said that Snowball would come back to the farm and make a mess of it. Squealer tried to tell the animals that Snowball was on Mr. Jones side when they were fighting against all the men who came back to the far. He said that when Mr. Jones shot him it only grazed him on purpose.
4. Napoleon had every one who was associated with Snowball executed. This made fear bigger on Animal Farm because animals were not supposed to kill any other animal.
5. Clover thought that all of their years of hard work was going to waste because they were killing each other, they had strict rules to follow, and they had dogs growling at them for making just one mistake.

3. There was a rule that said that if any animal was to pass a pig on the road they had to get out of the way and let the pig go by. This rule was made because pigs were known as the best animals on the farm.
4. Sugarcandy Mountain was represented as a place where animals died.

Chapter 10
