Animal farm chapter 6
1.How did the animals break the boulders?
A: The animals broke the boulders by caring it to the top of the hill and letting them fall from the top.It is a slow, laborious process.This would usually take a whole day.
2.Do you think snowball is the one who destroyed the windmill?Why do you think that?
A:I think snow ball didn't destroy the windmill because there was a harsh gale the night when the windmill was destroyed and i think the gale knocked it down.There may have been pig tracks leading to the hedge where snowball was last seen, but i think napoleon made those tracks because he thinks snowball is his enemy and rival and is trying to make everyone else agree.

Lightning Rod
1. During the dialogue between Raquel and the computer, Raquel had the power because he could decide if he wanted to read the message or not or he could have walked away, or even turn off the computer.
2. Raquel objects to the responsibility given to her because she thinks its to much information and she has a life(school,computer games,watching T.V). I believe that Raquel will not be able to ignore the responsibility because she probably be learning it all without her even knowing it. Raquel will probably never forget this experience with the computer so she might listen and follow through on her responsibility.
3. Making inferences and asking questions made me understand the plot and what exactly the dialogue between the computer and Raquel meant and how this could affect Raquel's future.
