Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm. These three had elaborated old Major's teachings into a complete system of thoug
ht, to which they gave the name of Animalism. Several nights a week, after Mr. Jones was asleep, they held secret meetings in the barn and expounded the principles of Animalism to the others. At the beginning they met with much stupidity and apathy. Some of the animals talked of the duty of loyalty to Mr. Jones, whom they referred to as "Master,” or made elementary remarks such as "Mr. Jones feeds us. If he were gone, we should starve to death.” Others asked such questions as "Why should we care what happens after we are dead?” or "If this Rebellion is to happen anyway, what difference does it make whether we work for it or not?”, and the pigs had great difficulty in making them see that this was contrary to the spirit of Animalism. The stupidest questions of all were asked by Mollie, the white mare. The very first question she asked Snowball was: "Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion?”
