Animal Farm By George Orwell

A cow, a sheep, a chicken, Muriel, Boxer, and Napoleon are on the bottom left corner. They represent Animal Farms’ society and ideals. The animal’s expressions are clueless, excluding Napoleon, who has a heroically outraged expression. Napoleon is shown as being very concerned, but he is actually behind the rest of the animals. This reflects his behavior in Animal Farm. However, Napoleon is placed above the other farm animals. This is how Napoleon wishes to be seen. This shows Napoleon as a caring leader of the animals. Snowball is shown as a large threat, standing on two feet and being unequal to the other animals because of his height. His trotters are reaching out, as if to steal from the animals. Squealer would use these lies and images as fear propaganda to convince the animals of Snowball being a

11. We are told that Napoleon and Snowball disagree on just about everything. What, however, is the one thing on which they are in full agreement at the end of this chapter?

For example, in chapter V, the animals debate about building a windmill. Most of the animals, including Snowball, favor building a windmill, but Napoleon does not. After Snowball speaks at the meeting, Napoleon sends his nine attack dogs to chase Snowball from the

Napoleon's driving force that kept the pigs in power was his way of forcing the animals to depend on the pigs for everything, and that they were simply more capable and therefore more deserving. “It

Although the animals decide that the apples will be distributed equally among the animals, one day the order goes out that these will be collected and taken to the harness room for the pigs. The milk is also going to the pigs.

Snowball: He is a pig who was challenging Napoleon because the other animals were with and loyal to him. He was also at the position of leadership before he had to run away.

Pigs' Role in Animal Farm by George Orwell At the start of the novel Orwell describes the pigs to be the "cleverest of the animals. " This is clearly an advantage and so leads to the pigs taking over the farm. There is a sense of leadership very soon after Old Major's death as the three pigs, Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer arrange meetings with the other animals and already begin to give orders. "You do not need sugar," says Snowball.

Shortly after the Revolution, Snowball comes up with the plan to construct a windmill to make the lives of the inhabitants of Animal Farm easier. Napoleon hides in the shadows per se until the puppies that he has taken and trained are old enough to act as a police force. Once they are old enough, Napoleon has the dogs drive Snowball off the farm. He then takes credit for the idea of the windmill and proceeds to claim that he, not Snowball, won the award at the Battle of Cowshed. Napoleon then informs the animals that Snowball was an enemy and was a threat to Animal Farm. The animals are swayed by his propaganda and are fearful of his police dogs; this is what keeps him in power.

What is the definition of a good novel? Opinions on this question may differ, but there are many things that good novels have in common. Most importantly, the reader must enjoy the novel. When I use the word enjoy, I don’t necessarily mean that it should make the reader ‘happy’ or ‘joyful’. The novel should give the reader a valuable or worthwhile experience. Many good novels often address topics that relate to our own reality. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, one of the main focuses is on power and corruption.

Snowball and Napoleon are pigs who are main characters in Animal Farm. In this story, we can see how similar and different they are when we compare and contrast them. They are the most important members of their group and live on the same farm. Napoleon and Snowball believe in reorganizing the farm after getting rid of the humans. They are similarity in species, the purpose, good leaders, out-spoken and intelligent. Napoleon has larger size but Snowball is more articulate and able to come up with great ideas. However, we have some special similarities between Napoleon and Snowball. They both have aspirations of leadership like when they assume control of the preparations for the forthcoming rebellion, they demonstrate their intelligence.

When the pigs gain power they start to organize committees throughout the farm. They also position the animals for labor work and basically act as a congress. This allows them to be passive making others do all of the work. They have a wide variety of knowledge to brainwash the animals into thinking the

Accordingly, the first similarity and difference portrayed with Napoleon and Snowball are the personalities and motivations shared between each character. Differences will remain such as Napoleon being fierce, quiet, and spoiled. This quote shows how frightening and intimidating the animals must felt in Napoleon's presence. In contrast, Snowball appears outgoing, less intimidating, smart, and vivacious. This quote shows how easy going and intelligent Snowball's character is versus Napoleon's. Even though both Boars are polar opposites, each are young and clever animals. This quote shows how only the pigs were smart since they studied books created by the humans. Onto the path of motivations, Snowball believed in Animalism and created the Seven

“He ordered the hens’ rations to be stopped and decreed that any animal giving so much grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death” (Orwell 87). This quote demonstrates that Napoleon treats the hens with cruelty because his commands are not being followed which was to surrender their eggs to him so he can trade with his neighbors. He not only treats the hens with cruelty but is also cruel to the other animals who feed the hens. On the contrary, Snowball treats the animals with respect and care because he is pursuing the Seven Commandments made by Old Major. He is doing what is best for all animals and is treating them equally. “He formed the Egg Production Committee for the hens, the Clean Tails League for the cows, the Wild Comrades’ Re-education Committee (the object of this was to tame the rats and rabbits), the Whiter Wool Movement for the sheep, and various others, beside instituting classes in reading and writing” (Orwell 49). This quote illustrates that Snowball is doing what is best for all animals by giving them a little hope for the future. He not only does it for one animal but for all the animals in the farm. Though they have differences in treating the animals they also have one comparison. They both want to be in charge of the other animals. When Old Major left the two of them in charge they wanted to control the animals by their own ideas by planning of what happens

This all went very well for a while, but the revolution then took a drastic downfall. The animal’s freedom and individuality was slowly taken away. Napoleon took the dogs freedom away by “making them bow, “ and obey him only. The animals also began to have no freedom of speech, “ raised their voices timidly but they were promptly silent by a tremendous growling,” which shows us that the farm was no longer run by all the animals but rather by the pigs, anything they say is right and you may not argue. The animals no all had to be the same, which can be taken as equality, but it was taken to the extreme. The animals had to call each other, “comrade,” and they weren’t even allowed to stick out in the smallest ways, ” Molly’s ribbons were taken,” which was fine at first but then slowly the animals started forgetting who they were.

“EVIDENCE.” Two figures of power, Napoleon and Snowball, begin to argue about the future of the farm. When Napoleon realizes that Snowball will likely win over the farm in terms of popularity and power, he orders attack dogs to chase Snowball out of the farm. “EVIDENCE.” This is the beginning of Napoleon’s corrupt power and discrimination. This is symbolistic of the many corrupt powers and discrimination that there is in the world. From here, Napoleon assumes absolute and corrupt rule over the farm, keeping the rest of the animals under his rule with
