Politics: Day 8

Do Now: In chapter 5, Napolean and Snowball disagreed on whether or not they should build the windmill.  After Snowball’s speech, Napolean orders 9 fierce dogs that he raised to attack and chase Snowball away.  If the pigs represent politicians, who do the dogs represent? Why?

Critical Thinking Question: How is a society kept in control?  How do those in power prevent revolution?  Who do these dogs represent? Are the pigs moving closer to the right?
