Answer 1

The flag in Animal Farm was an analogy of the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.  The entire book was an analogy of the USSR.  On the Soviet flag, the red stood for the far left stance of the government, the Hammer represented the country's Industry, the Sickle represented the country's Agriculture, and the red star represented the government regulating the two.
