Human Interaction

Discuss the role of the humans in the second half of the book. Who do you think they represent? Why do they begin interacting with the farm and stop trying to regain control of it? Why do the pigs oblige? How does this interaction represent some aspect of the human condition?

Symbols of Power

Beginning with Chapter Five wherein Snowball gets run off the farm, locate three to four symbols of power that indicate a change in the way the farm will function from here on out. Include page numbers and explanations for your findings–and be sure to discuss with one another the meaning behind those symbols.
