You have to submit each of your questions separately. I'll do your first one here.

1. How do the animals in the novel act like humans? In which ways do they still act like animals?

It really is the pigs that begin acting more like humans. As power goes to Napoleon's head, he begins to take on the traits of his once enemy, humans. The greed and decadence Napoleon feels enables the other pigs to feel a similar way. As the story progresses, the pigs begin to act, live, and even walk like humans.
