Animal Farm Study Guide
It had to happen somewhere—why not Manor Farm? Animal Farm is an allegory—a story that
represents real and actual events, people or places. Therefore, anything you notice about
Farmer Jones’s place could represent something beyond its literal meaning. Use the spaces
below to describe the setting for the animals’ revolution and the events that follow it. In the
first column, type or write direct quotes from the novel—phrases and sentences that are used
to show what it’s like on the farm throughout the story. In the second column, explain in your
own words what these details show or suggest about Manor Farm.
