Write three to four sentences presenting your prediction about the main conflict in the novel based on how the characters feel about their lives. Include evidence to support your prediction.
The main conflict will most likely be between the animals and the humans. Several ideas in the text support this prediction. First, the animals explain that they live in miserable conditions, and that the humans steal their labor. Then, they state that man is the enemy. Finally, they say that hunger and overwork will disappear if humans are removed from their lives. It seems likely that the animals on the farm will rebel against their human owners.
