Chapter 2 Review
Did you understand everything that happened in Chapter 2? See if you can answer these
questions (remember to back up all of your answers with QUOTES from the novel):
1. After Old Major’s death, what happens to the idea of rebelling against man?
2. What, do you think, is ‘Sugarcandy Mountain’ meant to symbolise?
3. In chapter 2, the animals overthrow Mr Jones. Who do you think Mr Jones represents
(historically), from what you know about the Russian revolution.
4. Karl Marx said that ‘religion is the opiate of the masses’ (*opiate =drug). So knowing this,
why do the pigs not like the stories told by the raven Moses?
5. What do the animals do with the farmhouse, and why do you think they do this?
6. What is suspicious about the disappearance of the cow’s milk? How is this worrying for the
future of the animals on the farm?
