Napoleon takes “nine sturdy puppies” (35) and becomes “responsible for their education” (35) while raising them up. The puppies soon become “fierce-looking wolves” (53) which he uses them to intimidate and petrify all the animals. Napoleon’s guard dogs “dash straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws” (53). Snowball “running faster than ever”

Meet Napoleon, a pig that tries to act as a human in order to pursue his lifelong dream as a farm’s dictator (not really). Welcome to Animal Farm. Napoleon is a pig in a farm called Animal Farm, after the animals decide to rebel against their farm owner Jones, they change the farm’s name from Manor Farm to Animal Farm. This story goes on to Napoleon deciding to use his intelligence as an advantage to lead the other animals. He writes 7 commandments that the animals need to followed. Napoleon’s power could have been checked after he broke these commandments, by deciding to give the pigs all of the milk and apples, by beginning to sleep in the beds of the farmhouse, and by killing two sheep.

Napoleon being another intelligent pig on the farm believed he could become the leader and have all the power on the farm by scaring the animals. He does so by telling the animals they will work more or there will be punishment “Throughout the spring they worked a sixty-hour week, and in August Napoleon announced that there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half” (Orwell 40). “The animals believe what the leadership tells them—that they are working for their own good now, not for Mr. Jones’s—they are eager to take on the extra labor”

Snowball had the qualities of an excellent leader. He had great plans and wanted what was best for the whole farm. He didn’t care about the power. All he wanted to do was rebel against man and make the animals lives better. His morals were good and people looked up to him. Although Napoleon had the ability to set tasks, organise things and run the farm it didn’t make him a leader, all it was, was power. Snowball was different. He wanted his followers, the other animals, to achieve their highest goals and complete the rebellion rather than just simply bossing people around. That’s leadership. Snowball had leadership.

From the very beginning, Napoleon and the pigs take charge and make the other animals do the work for them, while the pigs just supervise. In chapter three, when they begin working on plowing the fields, the pigs do not do anything other than tell the others what to do, “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the other” (20). The pigs, from the very start of animal farm, took charge and only directed and told others what to do. They solidified their positions as leader’s right at the beginning of the farm. Also, at the end of the book, the pigs, to show their leadership, carry whips around to make sure the work gets done, “After that it did not seem strange when next day the pigs who were supervising the work of the farm all carried whips in their trotters” (92). Since the creation of the farm the pigs started to slowly present the fact that they would take charge, and in the beginning when they were nice about it no one argued with them. By the end though, the animals finally realized what had happened, but by then it was too late for them to do anything about it. Admittedly, Napoleon and the rest of the pigs are greedy because they take all the extra food and make the others work like slaves, but that does not make them ineffective in the ways they make the animals work. Napoleon showed his effectiveness as a

When thinking about pigs, you generally associate them with being dirty, repulsive and gluttonous. Well, that's Napoleon. In the novel, Animal Farm, by George Orwell Napoleon is a pig on Manor Farm who slowly exerts power over others and begins his reign as a dictator. Napoleon takes over and renames the farm Animal Farm while being completely deceptive and unfair. Napoleon is a prime example of how absolute power corrupts absolutely because he is unjust and doesn't care for the wellbeing of any of the other animals on the farm but himself.

Napoleon has wanted power over the farm for awhile and will do anything to keep it. He takes Jessie and Bluebells newborn puppies and trains them for the main aspect of his fear campaign. He teaches them to do what is right for the farm and to only think about the Animal Farm’s future. He uses the puppies to eliminate his nemesis. Snowball comes up with the idea for a windmill on the farm, Napoleon opposes it and uses his trained dogs to chase Snowball off the farm. With Snowball gone, Napoleon declares himself the ruler of the farm. “They dashed straight for Snowball… he slipped through the fence and was seen no more. (Orwell, pg. 53 chap. 5).”

Napoleon stated that he will educate the puppies, and help build the windmill to make life easier in the farm, made the animals think that Napoleon is a hard worker and always right. He uses that advantage to create dictatorship within the farm. By having the support of the pigs by his side, he is able to convince the community that is always right. By creating propaganda of praise by the animals, he becomes a symbol of hope to the community. When Boxer stated Napoleon is always right, so did the rest of the animals since Boxer was seen as a symbol of strength for the

Special qualities is what differentiates people who watch things happen and people who make things happen. John F. Kennedy and John Bergmann are examples of great leaders that took their unique traits and moved forward with them, changing the world. John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. John Bergmann is the general manager at Popcorn Park, this zoo welcomes all creatures. John Bergmann, not as major of a leader as John.

Napoleon uses fear to achieve and maintain control of all the other animals. Napoleon takes Jessie and Bluebell’s nine newborn puppies and had them secretly trained in a loft to eventually become his security guards. The dogs were only loyal to him and obeyed his signals. Snowball was the first to show a difference in opinion with Napoleon with regards to building a windmill. When Napoleon realized the other animals were going to vote in favor of the windmill Napoleon summoned the dogs and they came running and chased Snowball off the farm in fear for his life. A few days later Napoleon’s dogs drag four pigs out in front of all the other animals because they had opposed Sunday meetings. The pigs confess that they collaborated with

After the expulsion of Farmer Jones and Snowball, it was only expected that Napoleon would take leadership of Animal Farm and, of course, continue practicing the principles of animalism. Animalism is the belief that all animals are created equal and should be allowed and, in fact, encouraged, to speak their mind and never lie or manipulate other animals, or other comrades. However, as Napoleon's reign of dictatorship progresses, we, as the readers, see him becoming more of a tyrant than a trustworthy ruler. Napoleon has truly started developing the characteristics of a human and acting more like Mr. Jones. We see him acting like a human through his use of brutal force, fear, and slander to keep the animals in line and working to the bone; he also uses these characteristics to benefit himself.

Napoleon, a boar, is the leader of Animal Farm and as described in the book “not much of a talker”. Accompanied by a pig named Snowball he led the animal rebellion against their farmer Mr. Jones. Not long after the animals took over
