    1. “Animal Farm” Chapter Eight Question 1 -How do the pigs “alter reality” to handle the food crisis? Squealer reads figures and statistics to them to prove there really is more food than ever before. “All the same [the animals] …would sooner have had less figures and more food.” Question 2 - By this point, what trappings of a typical dictator has Napoleon assumed? In addition to personal guards, he has his personal trumpeter. He takes on many additional titles – our Leader, Comrade Napoleon, Father of All Animals, Terror of Mankind, Protector of the Sheep-fold, Ducklings’ Friend, etc. Poems are written about his greatness. He becomes more aloof or distant form the animals and assumes more personal privileges such as dining on the Crown Derby dinner service; expensive human dinnerware.

    2. “Animal Farm” Chapter Eight Question 3 - Hitler had signed a non-aggression pact with Russia, but he went back on it and invaded Russia. How is this represented in the book? Fredrick and Napoleon had a deal about wood, but Fredrick took the wood and paid Napoleon with counterfeit money. Question 4- How do the animals react after the battle? What does Napoleon do? The animals are miserable. Napoleon has the gun fired off as a tribute to the great victory, which he takes credit for, but the animals do not see the battle as a victory.

    3. “Animal Farm” Chapter Eight Question 5-Why does Squealer report that Napoleon is dying? Because Napoleon has a terrible hangover and thought he was dying. Question 6- The narrator begins the next-to-last paragraph, “About this time there occurred a strange incident which hardly anyone was able to understand.” What was this incident? Squealer is found lying on the ground with a paintbrush in his hand next to a broken ladder. He is lying by the wall on which the commandments were written.

    4. “Animal Farm” Chapter Eight Question 7 - A few days later, the animals find another commandant they “had remembered wrong.” Which one was it? The words, “to excess” had been added to the commandment that had read, “No animal shall drink alcohol.” It appears that the pigs enjoy alcohol, especially since Napoleon wants to plant a barley field and is reading books on distilling. Question 8 - Which animal makes the connection between Squealer’s acts and the commandments? Benjamin the donkey makes the connection.

    5. “Animal Farm” Chapter Eight Question 9- At the opening of this chapter, why did Benjamin refuse to read the Sixth Commandment when Clover asked him? He said that he refused to meddle in such things. Question 10-  Considering all his actions, what kind of person is Benjamin meant to represent?
