Question

Once again the animals were conscious of a vague uneasiness. Never to have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money—had not these been among the earliest resolutions passed at that first triumphant Meeting after Jones was expelled? All the animals remembered passing such resolutions: or at least they thought that they remembered it. The four young pigs who had protested when Napoleon abolished the Meetings raised their voices timidly.

What does the text suggest about the values of the animals on Animal Farm in the beginning? Select two options.

The animals value a profit.
The animals value freedom.
The animals value nonconfrontation.
The animals value humans.
The animals value trading.

Answer 1

- The animals value freedom — they resolved to cut ties with humans, money, and trade to remain independent.
- The animals value nonconfrontation — the timid protests and the rule to have no dealings with humans show a tendency to avoid direct conflict.
