Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the character in the novel whose ideas are the basis for Animalism?

Answer: Old Major

Old Major is supposed to represent Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin. He is not alive to see the revolution.

2. What is the name of the battle in which Snowball is wounded?

Answer: Battle of the Cowshed

Snowball is shot in the back, but is able to recover. For his actions, he is awarded "Animal Hero, First Class."

3. What is the name of the raven in "Animal Farm"?

Answer: Moses

He is named Moses because the character represents the Russian Orthodox Church. He often tells the other animals about a fictional place called Sugarcandy Mountain, a sort of animal heaven.

4. The cart that takes away Boxer is owned by a man who is a horse slaughterer and what other profession?

Answer: Glue boiler

Boxer was always the hardest worker on the farm and was a model to the other animals. In Marx's system, he represents the typical proletariat, or worker.

5. Which of these was Boxer's slogan?

Answer: They both were

"Napoleon is always right" displays Boxer's blind obedience to the farm's leader. "I will work harder" displays his dedication to the farm and his work.

6. What are the names of the owners of Animal Farm's neighboring farms, Pinchfield and Foxwood?

Answer: Frederick and Pilkington

Pilkington owns Foxwood, Frederick owns Pinchfield. Many assume Mr Frederick to be like Hitler, and Mr Pilkington to be like the Western powers of the US and Britain.

7. Who is the first animal to stand on his hind legs?

Answer: Squealer

Squealer spent much time teaching the sheep to remember "Four legs good, two legs better," so that they could sing it when he walked on his hind legs.

8. What is the name of Animal Farm's human liasion with the outside world?

Answer: Mr Whymper

Mr Whymper aided with many facets of importing and exporting goods to and from the farm. He is loosely based on George Bernard Shaw, an outsider who praised Stalin's Soviet Union.

9. How many dogs are in Napoleon's "secret police"?

Answer: 9

The dogs represent the NKVD, which would eventually become the KGB. This was the Russian secret police. Napoleon uses them to drive out Snowball and instill fear in the other animals, allowing him to consolidate power.

10. What day did the Battle of the Cowshed take place on?

Answer: October 12

The animals overthrow Mr Jones on Midsummer's Day. The Battle of the Cowshed was likely in October because the actual Russian Revolution took place in October 1917.
