Animal Farm - Chapter 3 Activities THE ANIMALS’ FIRST HARVEST 1. The animals’ first harvest without human supervision exceeds all expectations. What is the success of this harvest attributed to? It was because the animals knew how to work the fields very well and the pigs were so clever that they thought of ways around any problem that arised. 2. The division of work on the farm comes about naturally, it seems. Who assumes the leadership and why? Who proves to be the most laborious member and what does he demand? The pigs, because they were the smartest. But the one who works harder is Boxer and he asks for nothing in exchange. 3. Boxer invents his own personal maxim. What is it and how does it reflect his character? I will work harder! It shows that Boxer is a focused and loyal to the movement

THE ANIMALS’ ATTITUDE TO THE NEW SYSTEM However, not all the animals share the enthusiasm over the self-governing animal farm. What is Mollie’s, Benjamin’s and the cat’s reaction to the new system? Please explain each character’s reaction in the following table.

The character’s reaction to the new system 4. Mollie

She is unenthusiastic, lazy and always makes up excuses to get off of work early.

5. Benjamin He acts indifferent from the way he acted when Jones was the leader. 6. The cat

The cat disappears every time there is work and comes back at dinner.

SNOWBALL’S PROJECTS Of all the pigs, Snowball seems to be the most proactive and forward-thinking. He introduces a

number of projects, yet most of them prove unsuccessful. Put a tick (✓) next to the project that was successful and a cross (✘) if the project was unsuccessful. ❏ the Egg Production Committee ❏ the Clean Tails League ❏ the Wild Comrades’ Re-education Committee ❏ the Whiter Wool Movement ❏ literacy classes Green: Tick Red: Cross 7. What does the success of these projects tell you about Snowball and his ideas? It can tell us that Snowball is trying to organize everyone but the only ideas that are licked by everyone else are the ones of self gain. 8. Since the Seven Commandments prove to be too difficult for the animals to memorise, the pigs decide to simplify them to a certain catchy phrase. Please write the phrase below with an image to help illustrate it:

FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD

PIGS CONTINUE TO ASSUME POWER Just like in Chapter 2, pigs continue to assume power over the other farm animals. 9. What does Napoleon do with the nine newly born puppies? He takes them away to a secluded room and educates them. 10. Pigs put apples and milk aside for themselves. How does Squealer make the animals agree on apples and milk being set aside for the pigs? He argues that the apples and milk are needed for the pigs survival and that if they don't get them Mr. Jones will come back.
