Animal Farm Chapter 2 Assignment

After reading Chapter 2 of Animal Farm, please answer the following questions on your blog BEFORE the beginning of class on Wednesday, May 13:

1) Write a summary of the important events of the chapter.

2) We are introduced to several new historical figures/events in this chapter. Explain which animal matches which historical person/event and WHY you think this:


  1.  Resignation of Tsar Nicholas II
  2. Joseph Stalin
  3. Leon Trotsky

3) Throughout the chapter, the pigs have to persuade their fellow animals to follow a certain course of action. First they have to persuade them to follow their ideas about "Animalism" and then they have to convince them to work. What persuasive techniques (pathos, logos, ethos) are they using? Make sure to include and explain quotes from the text. Hint: See pages 16-17, 25-26.

4) Another character in the book who uses persuasion is the raven, Moses. What persuasive technique do you think he is using? Why? Hint: See pages 17-18.

5) Finally, insert an image into your blog post that you think captures the main idea of the chapter.
