1) words that I don't know but may know their meaning through context Assertion: challenge

2) Swift as the wind is a simile because it compares the speed with the wind meaning it is very fast. an example of another simile in respect of speed it could be fast as a jet.

3)Animals are used to represent human behavior and characteristics .The significane of the fox is that he assigned the place and the time of the race

4) The purpose of the story is to leave a moral that it is more important to go slow steady than underestimate others.

5) Other fables include the ant and the grasshopper, the grasshopper was very calmed and relaxed during summer meanwhile the ant was working to get food for winter but despite the ant's advise he countinues doing nothing. When winters comes he has to go to the ant to get food. Moral of the story it is best to prepare for the days of need

6) Yes it makes me think that a lot of similes are going to be used in animal farm in reference with the animals and the Soviet Union
