Animal Farm Reading - Chapters 5 and 6 Due 10/9 (B) and 10/10 (A)

Animal Farm - Read Chapter 5 and 6

Homework: Orwell’s characters use language to communicate hidden meanings. Sometimes Orwell hints that language should be carefully questioned, other times it’s up to the reader to notice.

Directions: As you read Chapters V through VII, complete the table by filling in some examples of manipulative communication. Then state what you think the language really means. Use as many boxes as you need (you should have at least 4 per chapter). You may paraphrase the passages from the text, but you must cite the text by chapter and page number

The Words	What they really mean
" In the future, all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs presided over by himself." (CH 5, p.21).	Napoleon is going to make all the decisions.
“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napolean that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would you all be?”(CH 5, p. 21)
