1.Buck is our protagonist in the story. London comes as close to seeing life through a dog's eyes as London could get. So, the conflicts all surround Buck. The instigator for the conflict comes when Buck is kidnapped or rather dognapped from his cushy life in California. The rest of the conflicts surround his many adventures on his way to inner doggy nirvana! Any human point of view would have ruined the flow and intent of the novel.

2.

In Chapter IX of James Michener's historical novel, Alaska, gold is discovered in Nome and two of the characters based upon real people, move to this territory in hopes of making their fortunes. Once there, they encounter gold mine thieving, dangerous conditions, and dangerous men. In the setting of this novel and London's novella, Alaska is a raw, naturalistic, formidable land that is unforgiving of any weakness.

This portrayal is, indeed, realistic. With so many men journeying to Alaska in hopes of making a fortune, there would be a high demand for sled dogs. Such a magnificent specimen as the one-hundred-and-forty pound Buck. And, that he would easily revert to his more atavistic nature is also realistic as feral dogs quickly develop shorter, thicker coats and run in packs like their ancestors did.

As Buck and another large dog, a Newfoundland are put upon a ship bound for Alaska, Buck realizes that his captors

...are a new kind of men...and while he developed no affection for them, he nonetheless grew honestly to respect them.

Once in Alaska, Buck further discovers that men and dogs are both little more than savages in this raw land, with no law but the law of force ruling their lives.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about plot and characters in Animal Farm.

Cloud [144]

The book Animal farm, an allegorical story about the Russian Revolution (1917) and the Soviet Union, is about a group of farm animals who, dissatisfied with their human farmer, take over the farm. Their goal is that all the animals become equal and happy.

Which two animals often disagree with each other?

Answer: Napoleon and Snowball always disagree with each other.

Explanation:

Napoleon is a pig that becomes a farm leader after the Rebellion. In order to establish authority over other animals, Napoleon uses his nine attack dogs. Snowball, on the other hand, is intelligent and not as harsh as his enemy, Napoleon. Rather than intimidating other animals, Snowball is interested in winning their trust. While Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin, Snowball's character is based on Leon Trotsky.

Which animal does most of the heavy labor?

Answer: Boxer does most of the heavy labor.

Explanation:

Boxer's personal motto is ''I will work harder!" He is certainly hard-working and dedicated, and is convinced that every problem can be solved through hard work. Boxer is portrayed as powerful but naive, and his character is an allegory for Russian working-class that contributed to the establishment of the Soviet Union, but ended up betrayed by Stalin.

What does Snowball try to teach the animals to do?

Answer: Snowball tries to teach the animals how to read and write.

Explanation:

Snowball organizes the animals into Animal Committees that have different goals. There is, for instance, the Clean Tails League, and Re-education Committee. The goal of the latter is to re-educate the rats and rabbits. Snowball does succeed in his plan to teach the animals how to read and write, although other committees generally fail to achieve their goals. The pigs, for example, learn to fluently read and write.

What is the name of the incident in which Farmer Jones tries to retake the farm?

Answer: The Battle of the Cowshed.

Explanation:

In Chapter 4, the Battle of the Cowshed takes place. One day, the animals are working when they notice Mr. Jones and his men entering the gates of the farm. The animals realize that the men came to retake the farm by force. Snowball has already prepared a defense plan based on a book about Julius Caesar's strategy, so he eventually defeats the humans with only one animal death as a result. Mr. Jones has no other option but to flee the farm and never come back.
