Chapter 5 Discussion Questions by Mackenzie Gasparini https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij en-us 2020-09-10 12:39:34 UTC 2025-09-25 12:32:27 UTC hello@padlet.com I don't think that they should be blamed for what they did because everyone is entitled to their own opinions and actions. No one has to support or do what they are told, but I understand that they needed to be free do what made them happy. Mollie didn't want to do any farm to the farm, she just wanted to be happy. spossick1_1 https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876942947 2020-10-30 16:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876942947 Napoleon is slowly gaining power and becoming more and more like a dictator. He has already started to get rid of those that oppose his ideas(Snowball) so it could, and probably will escalate into him gaining total power through fear and violence https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876944197 2020-10-30 16:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876944197 This does not give Napoleon a great rep. This says that Napoleon is a liar. Napoleon said he would teach the dogs well and good but he trained them to be vicious and scary. Napoleon is now considered to be "untrusted" but the animals cannot do much about that because he owns vicious dogs. This is unsetting because if I were in this situation, I would not want my leader to rebel against me and lie to my own face. https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876944630 2020-10-30 16:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876944630 https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945049 Orwell might be saying that although the fair leader may be more liked and appreciated, the corrupt, unfair, and dictator-like leader will likely come out on top, for the reason that they normally use the idea of "whatever means necessary" to get on top.]]> 2020-10-30 16:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945049 I https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945221 2020-10-30 16:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945221 This might show that Napoleon is trying to gain more power over the animals. To make sure that information does not get spread that is secret. Stalin did this to carry out his dirty work. Napoleon might be trying to carry out a role that is too controlling and hopefully the animals figure out what he is doing and try to stop it. Napoleon could come out on top over the animals if they don't make a change quick. jbassuk2_1 https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945258 2020-10-30 16:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945258 Snowball is more of a public speaker, he talks his mind, and Napoleon doesn't do the same. What Napoleon does is just disagree with whatever Snowball is saying. https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945428 2020-10-30 16:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945428 Now that Snowball is gone, there is no one who could stop him. He has total power over the animals. This is unsettling because he is becoming unstoppable and he won't use this power for good https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945976 2020-10-30 16:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876945976 https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876946516 While I understand why the bourgeois and Mollie did what they did, and why they didn't care, I still think that they should be blamed for part of what happened. They were raised with everything handed to them, always having lived a comfortable life, so it's natural that they would stick with whatever side would provide them with the most luxurious life.]]> 2020-10-30 16:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876946516 The Dogs represent Stalins personal secret service, used to suppress opposition. Through force he is eliminating competitors, and taking a very authoritarian rule. https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876946849 2020-10-30 16:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876946849 this shows that we will soon turn to be like a dictator and be an unfair and unjust leader that he will be and make the animals follow his rule only. this might lead to a rebiillion https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876946860 2020-10-30 16:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876946860 I don't think you can blame Mollie for doing that. I believe its been basically programed that animals will do whatever it takes to survive https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876949279 2020-10-30 16:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876949279 I think that they shouldn't be blamed for what they did because people have the right to have their own opinion. https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876949331 2020-10-30 16:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876949331 I do not think that they should be blamed because Mollie did not believe in what the other animals on the farm believed in so she went along with the people that she wanted to be with and those people took her in. https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876949377 2020-10-30 16:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876949377 Snowball has more plans, Napoleon doesn't plan out what he is going to do, he just does anything to disagree with Snobwall's thoughts and Idas. https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876951292 2020-10-30 16:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876951292 I think that they can be somewhat blamed because every vote counts. If millions of people think that what they say doesn't matter then in the end no one will end up saying anything. https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876953537 2020-10-30 16:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876953537 https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876954247 This shows that Napoleon doesn't care about the good of the animals, just being the leader. This is unsettling because with a dictator, the animals wouldn't be all equal.]]> 2020-10-30 16:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876954247 https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876954901 I think Snowball is smarter, but Napoleon wants power.  Napoleon always tries to counter Snowball, and Napoleon even tried sabotage. When it didn't work, he took it by force.]]> 2020-10-30 16:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mgasparini8/mr8sp0ppktur1uij/wish/876954901
