Three Questions

  2. do you think you could survive without your luxuries or do you think you would resort to mollies method of selling information for her luxuries?
  3. why do you think napolean waited untill after he had run snowball out of the farm to say that the windmill was a good idea?

For the thing in chapter 5 when we had to answer someone else's questions, i answered yours. dont' you feel special?? lol. wow i've left a lot of comments on this post.

also sometimes it's a bit hard to read the black writing against the purple background so maybe you could change the writing to white or something.

3. I think that Napoleon waited untill he had run snowball out of town to say that he thought the winmill was a good idea because he never wanted to agree with anything Snbowball said.

Your summaries are clear but I think you need to make sure you have emphasised the really important aspects - the Battle of the Cowshed and Snowball's role in it in Chapter 4 and the argument over the Windmill - particularly what sides the animals were on and then Snowball's expulsion in Chapter 5. Remember page numbers with your quotes so you can find them again.
