The animals so far in the novel show a great deal of humanlike features. I notice that Old Wargrave represents a leader who ca really reach his people because all he has done in the past for them. This tells me the animals are close and work as a team revolving around one leader to keep them motivated. mp913

**2. DO YOU AGREE WITH OLD MAJOR WHEN HE SAYS, "MAN IS THE ONLY CREATURE THAT CONSUMES WITHOUT PRODUCING." WHAT DOES HE MEAN ?**
BMWILLUSIONIST
 * I** disagree do not necessarily agree with what he says that phrase. Mainly because man takes but doesn’t give back.

I disagree because with people, and man consumes things, but also produce stuff like babies, milk, ideas, etc. Even if man can't produce eggs like chickens or create other species, but he is not entirely lazy, only on the top of the food chain. This some certain things. He means that man is self centered greedy, and doesn't seem to care about the well-being of the animals on this farm. And he can control and eat doesn't do any animal. Farm animals are on the bottom of the food chain, so they can work but seems to get sold as food. I also think that man is much smart than animals. This is because man can talk and animals can't, except animals can talk in the book only. - Sasha Rothman

I do not necessarily agree with that phrase. Mainly because man does share some things or oppertunities with people, and man is not entirely lazy, only on some certain things. He means that man is self centered greedy, and doesn't seem to care about the well-being of the animals on this farm. And he doesn't do any work but seems to get all the power. Serbe

I agree and disagree at the same time. I agree because there are things that man uses for profit and food like eggs or milk, but we can also produce milk, reproduce and create things. That's what has kept us on the top of the food chain for all these years.-Leah Chesley

...:nimrodRPB:... I disagree with old major because no creature creates anything, they only take matter that is surrounding them and put it into a different position. ...:nimrodRPB:...

I also disagree because man has made many contributions to everything. -MEISJT33

i disagree because man consumes and most of the times produces the things that they use. Crazypinkboy1

Old Major’s comment about man is an intelligent and an accurate explanation for the way we think. He is saying humans are the only creatures that have weapons to get food and have supermarkets around their daily lives. The way we act puts the animals in a more jeopardizing live situation. Animals have to use their own features like claws to find food. mp913

No I don't agree with him. We do produce to keep the family going. He means we save our selfs by not producing. I don't think that is true. First of all we are not a creature and we often produce. We humans are not at all consumers. By Ryan Mark

I disagree on what Major says because, he's saying that people dont have to work for their needs as much because it comes to them a lot more easily than it comes to animals. Tsotne Porter

I definitly disagree because he is saying that we are the only animals that dont do anything for any other things because we claim to be so powerful. Dgkallday

When old major says that “ MAN IS THE ONLY CREATURE THAT CONSUMES WITHOUT PRODUCING.” By this he means that humans will kill other animals for food because humans don’t naturally produce food for themselves, nor do they care about the animals needs. I agree with Old Major because we do this because we are the highest on the food chain, we don’t have to produce, because no one is forcing us. So, we don’t produce as a favor to the pigs because they produce for us because they are lower on the food chain. joey fields

I dont agree because people work constantly. It means that man takes more than he makes. angelica

i dissagree because he is saying that we only take and dont give but we give more then any of animal. scangiano

I disagree because people work very hard most of the time, we work for almost everything we have. We also do things for the animals. The animals on the farm all have homes. -Margaret Miller

I disagree because he is saying that humans only consume and take things without giving back in the procces, which is faulty because we do give back very much. -0_0

**3. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE SONG "BEASTS OF ENGLAND" THAT IS SO APPEALING TO THE ANIMALS? THINK ABOUT THE SONG AS POETRY -- WHAT DO YOU SEE?**
The lirics of the song and the fact that it talks about how great there future will be when man is gone, is what seems to be appealing about the song "Beasts of England". Serbe

I see that the song is talking about the animals trying to take over man and how that onece animals were to be freed they would be able do be independent and this song is about freedom great lives after imprisonment. BMWILLUSIONIST

The song “Beast Of England” captures the mines to the point where they dwell on themselves. They people are in a zone in which you can’t distract them. This keeps the animals motivated. No other thoughts are important to them but getting back at man by rebelling and overthrowing Mr. Jones. mp913

In the song, it say about how animals overthrow Man. Then the animals could be free from being tortured and have more food than they used to receive. The song also explains how the animals in the song would be free after overthrowing Man. - Sasha Rothman

The songs talks about that animals have to unite under one common cause in order to overthrow man. It also gives and develops and sense of pride to the animals about being animals. - Leah Chesley

...:nimrodRPB:... The song is so appealing to the animals because it shows that the other animals can over-throw humans just as well as humans can over-throw other animals. ...:nimrodRPB:...

the song is so appealing to the animals because it is explaining how animals can take control of humans, Crazypinkboy1

All of the animals loved the tune of the song. They all liked so they started to sing. It tells you how they can take over their most hated foes, the humans. The animals in the farm like that and sing with emotion and feeling. All of them hate the humans, they think humans make them do labor on a farm. By Ryan Mark

To the animals, the song states that they have as much chance of over throughing man than the humans over throughing the animals. Tsotne Porter and jo momma

The song captures the idea that the animals can take over the people and other enemies. Dgkallday

In the song "BEASTS OF ENGLAND" the song fascinates the animals because it is a time were the humans are not on the top of the food chain. It is also a time when animals rule the world. We will have enough food to please them, not the bare minimum that Mr. Jones gives to us. Joey Fields

The animals like the song because in the song, then they take over the humans. angelica

I think the animals like the song because it is about animals being stronger then men in one time and not be killed for there skin and things they produce. scangiano

The animals seem to like the song because they talk about getting rid of the man and not having them around and thats the way the animals seem to want it like.

Margaret Miller

The animals care for the song because the song portrays how strong animals are and how cruel man are to them -0_0
