Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If a sequel were to be made, Snowball might return and overthrow Napoleon. The rules would be restored to normal, and the tower would be a huge success. Who wrote the original?

Answer: George Orwell

George Orwell wrote "Animal Farm" in 1945. It is about farm animals who run the humans off the farm. Snowball is a pig who ruled for a time, and the farm was very prosperous and happy. Then Napoleon ran Snowball off the farm and began to rule the animals in much the same way as the humans had. The animals, however, did not realize how horrible a ruler Napoleon was.

If Orwell had written a sequel, no doubt Snowball would have come back to make their lives much better for the animals!
2. Perhaps this author could make a whole new series of books, about an agent who drives around in a flying car. It could be called "007 Bang Bang". Who could have possibly written this new book?
