Is his critique effective? Are there aspects of his criticism that aren't effective? 3. Why do you think Orwell used animals as the main characters for the story? 4. Moses the raven tells the other animals about Sugarcandy Mountain. What or who does the character of Moses play represent? What role does he play on the farm? 5.

Do you think the farm could have succeeded as they originally planned? |
