Study Guide for Siddhartha and Animal Farm
The Brahmin's Son
Siddhartha is unhappy because he does not have peace in his heart and he does not have the knowledge he wishes and he is restless.
His spirit is like a waiting vessel because his spirit is partly full of information from his teachers but he is still not satisfied.
Because Govinda loves Siddhartha as a friend and admires his thirst for knowledge.
The Samanas are described as non-self conscious people who have an icy stare and are very skinny.

His teachings are persuasive and many people are following him.
The author thinks that the Buddha is bringing new life to a ravaged country and spreading rumors.

There is no more sunday meetings and all the decisions concerning the farm will be made by a committee of pigs. The animals will meet on sundays to sing “Beasts of England” and receive their orders for the week.
None of the other animals are smart enough to come up with any arguments and the dogs growl anytime someone protests. The animals are intimidated by Napoleon and are scared of his bodyguards; the dogs.
