• "He claimed to know of the existence of a mysterious country called Sugarcandy Mountain, to which all animals went when they died. It was situated somewhere up in the sky, a little distance beyond the clouds, Moses said."
• other animals would be interested to know about this place
• Idea of an afterlife- animals will use this idea to hope of a better life after death
• no detail of location- makes animals wonder if its real, can be compared to heaven, adds to mystery.
• makes it sound appealing to believe in when animals have nothing left. More comparisons to heaven.
• Moses would come in when the animals were most desperate and unfortunate and promise them a place where everything is perfect giving them more incentive to work. However, the animals hated Moses because he resembled the pigs, consuming without producing, just like the church was with the government in communist Russia.
