Read the excerpt from Animal Farm. That evening Squealer explained privately to the other
animals that Napoleon had never in reality been
opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he
who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan
which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the
incubator shed had actually been stolen from among
Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact,
Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody,
had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer
looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade
Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the
windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball,
who was a dangerous character and a bad influence.
Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could
go forward without his interference. This, said
Squealer, was something called tactics. He repeated a
number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!"
Squealer explains to the other animals that Napoleon
was never opposed to the windmill. How does this
conflict propel the plot forward?
The other animals realize that Squealer and
Napoleon are friends
The other animals realize that Napoleon can be
trusted.
It changes the way the other animals feel about
Napoleon
It changes the way the other animals feel about the
dogs.

The other animals realize that Napoleon can be trusted.

Squealer uses political propaganda to justify Napoleon's power. Napoleon will become more powerful after Squaler's words. Their aim is to convince the other animals that Snowball is not a loyal animal but that Napoleon is really loyal. Then, Napoleon will become extremely  corrupt and authoritarian and new crises will happen.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
