8. Who did Moses the Raven represent?

Answer: The Russian Orthodox Church

Moses was Jones's pet, such as the church was to the Czar, to give to people something to believe in. After the rebellion, Moses left, just as religion was outlawed in Russia, but returned later once again and was allowed by the pigs to stay so the animals wouldn't get discouraged.

Answer: Heaven

This was the place Moses always talked about that the animals would go to after they died, such as Heaven was talked about by the Russian Orthodox Church.

The windmill was what the animals constantly worked on, just as Stalin's plan was what the working class strove for. The windmill got destroyed twice, which also represents the plan's flaws.
11. What did Foxwood, owned by Mr. Pilkington, represent?

Answer: England

This was a neighboring farm which Napoleon betrayed, then asked for help from, after being betrayed by Fredrick. The real life scenario: England was betrayed by Russia, then Russia asked them for help when they were attacked by Germany.
12. What did Pinchfield, owned by Mr. Frederick, represent?

Answer: Germany

Once again, Animal Farm betrays Foxwood, is betrayed by Pinchfield, asks Foxwood for help. Russia betrays England, is betrayed by Germany, asks England for help.
13. What did the dogs represent?

Answer: The Secret Police

The dogs were trained by Napoleon shortly after birth, and he used them to take over and as a scare tactic, just as Stalin used the Secret Police to keep the working class in order.
14. What did Mollie the horse represent?

Answer: The Bourgeoisie

Mollie was not interested in the rebellion and cared only about herself and what humans thought of her, which led her to leave Animal Farm. The Bourgeoisie (rich-upper class) was not interested in the Russian Revolution and thought only of themselves and their money and soon left Russia.
15. What did the pigeons represent?

Answer: Spies

The pigeons were sent out to stir up rebellions on other farms just as spies were sent out to try to cause rebellions in other countries. I hope you enjoyed the quiz!
