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.

Answer:

I predict that the main conflict will be between the animals and the humans because the animals are tired of being mistreated. Characters like Old Major describe their lives as being filled with hunger and miserable conditions. He points out that while the animals do all the work on the farm, the humans keep everything for themselves, creating a struggle for control and survival.

C
