  2. 1.) The animals have to rebuild the windmill, which was knocked down, supposedly, by Snowball.
    2.) The animals are faced with limited food supply.
    3.) While the other animals are working hard, the pigs are using the other animals hard work to their advantage. They have a barley field growing for their beer, and are "living high on the hog."
    4.) Moses returns after being away for about a year. When he returns, he continues to tell stories of Sugar Candy Mountain.
    5.) Boxer get hauled off to the glue factory after sustaining injuries. Naploeon is the one who called the glue factory to have Boxer taken away.
    6.) The other animals think that Boxer was taken to an animal hospital to be taken care of by the best.
    7.) The pigs benefit because they utilize Boxer's saying, "I will work harder" and encourage the other animals to work harder.
    8.) This turns full circle because the pigs are now resorting to human ways and practices, which is originally what they we supposed to avoid.
    9.) The significance is that the pigs are now saying to walk on to legs, like a human, is better than to walk around like an ordinary animal.
    10.) The line at the end of the novel means that though it may seem all animals are equal, some animals have more privileges and benefits than others.
