"Surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?" Throughout the animals' reign on the farm, Napoleon and Squealer dangle the possibility of Jones' return as a constant danger, keeping most of the other animals in fear, and thus, submission. Do you think that this was a valid threat? Do you feel that, overall, the animals were better or worse off once they were in control of the farm?
Respond to the post above, then comment on at least 2 other classmates' responses by midnight, February 8, 2013.
The threat is valid since the idea of being enslaved again as a farm animal may drive some animals to paranoia. This lingering threat also may have led some of the pigs to take leadership roles to make sure the animals were organized enough to repel that threat. They were also better off when Jones since Napolean literally turns into a dictator and becomes the very thing they all revolutionized to stop.
ReplyDeleteThis is very true.
DeleteJoseph, this is not a significant response. Please elaborate!
DeleteI agree because in a way they were enslaved, and Napolean did turn into a dictator
DeleteYes i think this is a valid threat because all the animals are afraid of Jones and the power he possesses. I feel the animals were better off when Jones ran the farm. There was more control and stability.
ReplyDeleteI agree because tha animals were scared and they didn't turn on each other when Jones was still there.
Deletebasically the whole reason the animals turned on each other was because of the lies that the pigs had spread about the things thats been goin on. i also feel that if the pigs were not in control things would have been better.....
Deletethe animals are were truely terrified of Jones and his dicatorish ways.
DeleteI also concur with the fact that they were better off with Jones.
Deletei think this threat is valid, because the animals are afraid of Jones.Even though when Jones ran the farm it had control and was organized. it was better off when Jones ran the farm.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this because atleast when jones ran the farm they weren't starved and they weren't treated as wrong when he ran the farm.
DeleteYes, I agree because it's basically the same thing I said.
DeleteI agree since the animals didn't want to return to being farm animals under Jones
DeleteI agree 100% with Kayla and the rest of my fellow citizens of America!
Deleteyes i think this is a valid threat because all the animals are afraid of jones and the power he possesses. i feel the animals should all get togather to talk about who should be in head of all the animals.
ReplyDeletei agree with you even though i think you cheated lol
Deletebut jones was a very good leader and he deserved to be "in head of all the animals."
This is a valid threat. Jones was unkind and barely fed the animals. I think they were better off, though, because Napolean was a dictator who only cared about benefiting himself.
ReplyDeletei agree because jones ran the farm the animals wasnt treated as bad and got food
DeleteI don't agree with this. The farm went downhill as the pigs took over. The rations started sinking.
Deleteyes i think that it is a valid threat because he treated them very wrong. He didn't feed them. The thought of being enslaved again drove the animals to act in a paranoid state. I think that they were better of woth jone since napoleon literaly turns into a dictator and treats them unjust.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was valid. The animals were better off with the farmer. They knew their roles. The farmer never tried to oppress them like the pigs did.
ReplyDeleteyes i do think this is a threat because all the animals were better off when that Jones man had complete control of the farm
ReplyDeletei think so because jones didnt really care for those animals
ReplyDeleteyes i do think it was a threat because when the man was in control the animals were better off
ReplyDeleteI agree because the man did not make them do as much work and he never gave them rules.
Deletealthough the animals were enslaved durind Jones' appearance, they were still treated like animals and not as soldiers in a war who died for somebody elses vengence.
ReplyDeleteThey were enslaved and Napolean became and turned into something that the other animals thought that they were finished with which was a dictator
ReplyDeletei dont think this was a threat at all because the animals like the liberty of not being controlled by Jones but somehow regret that he is gone.
ReplyDeleteYes,that is correct but I think that they kind of miss him because even though they were treated badly they knew they always had some work to get done
DeleteI think that there was a threat when the animals were in control of the farm because: 1. Ihere was no way for them to get food if they actually ran out. 2. It becaume an Oligarchy that had the pigs in control of them. 3. There was no working together so the farm was not functioning properly. 4. There was fear of the pigs by all the other animalss on the farm.
