Asked by Lolerskater

Those familiar with the story Animal Farm Please help me come up with a thesis for the prompt:
Napoleon Continues to announce new rules that seem less than desirable. The animals seem confused and somewhat annoyed, yet none protest or dare to speak the truth. What do you think is/are the reason(s) for this?
We barely touched on thesis in 8th grade and now I'm kind of stuck trying to come up with one.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Do you think the animals fear Napoleon?

Or do the animals want to keep a low profile because they don't want to rock the boat with their peers?

Why do YOU think the animals don't protest?

I'll be happy to comment on your ideas.

I think they fear him, aren't intelligent enough to find arguments against his decisions and they are influenced by squealers words.
