Snowball Research Paper

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

Napoleon knew the animals wouldn't take that the former leader was gone so Napoleon made the animals think that Snowball was a bad person and had been spying for Farmer Jones. Now Napoleon is in charge, he is changing all the rules and breaking them. Napoleon stays in charge of the animal farm through his use of ideology, fear, and propaganda. Napoleon stayed in charge because of fear Document C “Jones Would Come Back’ tells us about how Napoleon uses fear to give the

Napoleon, who is the leading power in the farm, had complete control of the animal’s minds, being able to convince them that “Snowball [had] done this thing! In sheer malignity, thinking to set back our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion, this traitor has crept here under cover of night and destroyed our work of nearly a year” (Orwell 70). Napoleon’s need for complete power was able to be achieved from the trust he had established from the other animals, making them not question him and follow whatever he said.

At first, Animal Farm prospers. The pig leaders, Snowball and Napoleon assume the administration of the farm and as Snowball tries to teach the animals to read, Napoleon takes a group of young puppies to educate them in the principles of Animalism. Mr. Jones reappears to take back the farm but the animals defeat him again. As time passes however, Snowball and Napoleon increasingly quarrel over the future of the farm and they begin to struggle with each other for power and influence among the other animals. These disagreements lead up to a vote in order to build Snowball's proposal for a windmill, which Napoleon was opposed to.

Three characters support the theme. Napoleon, the pig, the protagonist, is the leader of the Animal Farm after the rebellion who uses military force to ensure his power. Snowball, the pig, an antagonist, challenges Napoleon for leadership of the farm, but is less treacherous. Boxer, an antagonist, is a cart-horse whose loyalty and dedication help them build a windmill. Napoleon supports the theme by first revolting against Farmer Jones and then becoming

Napoleon uses propaganda and lies he spreads with Squealer, that all his actions are put forward to the benefit of ‘all’ the animals. Squealer speaks,” Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back!” He creates fear within the animals of Mr.Jones coming back again, and tells them, “Napoleon is always right.” He sees Snowball as a threat to his power, he spreads his words “Comrades, do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!” He tries to make false information and lies to the common animals. The external conflict between Napoleon and Snowball over power are shown, due to Napoleon’s greeds. Although the common animals of the farm found Snowball more likeable, the nine loyal dogs of Napoleon frightened the animals and strengthened the power of Napoleon allowing him to become the leader after Rebellion. Napoleon is unsatisfied of any ideas rooted from Snowball, brings out his specially trained dogs to go after Snowball. Snowball who does not have a physical force of his own like Napoleon’s, is chased out of the farm allowing Napoleon to become the one and only leader of “Animal Farm”. I feel empathetic to Napoleon some of the time, but to this extent I wouldn’t agree or connect with Napoleon. He uses and exploits other animals for his benefit, and untruly spreads propaganda to keep in power.

‘Animal Farm’ is a novel based on the Russian Revolution, about a group of animals wanting to rebel against man. Snowball a smart, fair and strong leader gets ruled over by Napoleon, an unfair and selfish leader. This was the first error in the rebellion. Snowball would have defiantly made a better leader than Napoleon. The reasons for this are that he educated the animals, had future economic plans and knew how to keep a fair and smart community.

Pilkington and Freidricks were the villains of the book, and because they were humans, they didn’t believe that animals should be treated with any respect. Dogs were used as Napoleon's security, the animals were scared of the dogs but their misguided judgment caused them to consider them as comrades. Napoleon used the dogs to banish Snowball and he lied to the other animals about Snowball to paint himself as the ideal leader for Animal Farm. Violence and the threat of violence kept the other animals in check. Some of the animals were conceived to confess to crimes they didn't do and say they were prompted to do it by Snowball.

Napoleon used force to gain control of Animal Farm, and used fear to keep it. When he and Snowball both led the other animals, they had many disagreements. Napoleon saw that Snowball was better at communicating with the animals, so he used the dogs which he had secretly trained to drive Snowball away – permanently. Napoleon used these dogs to keep all the animals ‘in line’ and quash any thought of rebellion with fear.

When Major, the leader of the animals dies, Snowball and Napoleon take charge of the farm renaming it Animal Farm. While Snowball has the more level approach to ruling the farm,

Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian revolution, and the rise of communism in Soviet Russia. The main characters are also all allegories. Snowball can be seen as the figure Leon Trotsky, and Napoleon as Stalin.On the Farm the animals hold a meeting one night led by Major who tells them of a dream, being free on the farm. Eventually Major dies, yet because of the speech the animals begin to dream of a better life. One in particular Snowball takes on a leadership role. It starts by being asked about what would happen to the farm. One instance in particular Mollie one of the horses asks if she will have sugar and ribbons in her hair afterwards in which he replies, “ "those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?". This speaks to Snowballs view on life on the farm. This can also be portrayed as how Trotsky had a more open, forward frame of mind during the start of the Russian Revolution. The Animals eventually stage an uprising on a night that Mr. Jones and the other farmers get drunk. They take over the farm and chase the others out of town. After this they hold a huge bonfire and burn ribbons and other equipment and set into place a set of commandments. Some are all animals are created equal, No animal shall harm another animal, no animal should drink alcohol, and one of the mottos was “two legs good, four legs bad.”. The start of Napoleon's mischief is soon after when the milk on the

There is nothing like a Snowball Fight on a perfect snowy day. With perfect snow you can have a perfect Snowball Fight. In my opinion Snowball Fighting is the best winter activity. This exciting endeavour involves warm clothes,hot chocolate with marshmallows in it.

Later, Mr. Jones comes back and tries to reclaim the farm, only to be defeated again in the Battle of the Cowshed. With a renewed confidence, Snowball and Napoleon begin to argue more and more. It is clear now that they are both struggling to be the dominant pig on the farm. Snowball creates the idea of building a windmill that will harness electricity, but Napoleon disagrees. They hold a meeting to let everyone hear their sides and make a final decision. After Snowball gives a strong speech, Napoleon swiftly gives his argument and calls the dogs he took earlier. The dogs he was supposed to educate were really being trained as attack dogs. They chased Snowball off the farm, and left Napoleon in charge.

In my opinion, it was kind of hard to watch Dr. Sakimoto’s presentation yesterday without feeling a little powerless. Even with the Paris Agreement, it feels like we are snowballing somewhat towards an inevitable, degraded planet. Yet, I believe there are ways to prevent the speed of the snowball and that is through taking measures into our own hands. With the current administration revoking our inclusion in the Agreement, I believe the pressure is on the individual consumer now more than ever. When you really think about food, you begin to see how much of a real threat its production poses to the earth. Every human requires it multiple times a day, there is no avoiding the need, but there is power in changing the demand of items and the means

After the revolution, Manor Farm was renamed to Animal Farm and the Seven Commandments of animalism were established to ensure equality. The pigs became the supervisors of the farm. However, the rivalry between two pigs Snowball and Napoleon made Napoleon use force. Napoleon ordered his dogs to chase out Snowball from the farm in order to become the only leader. Napoleon’s selfishness and corrupt power made him commit different atrocities against his own comrades. As a result, the lives of the animals except for the pigs and dogs were of tyranny and inequality. Napoleon became worse than their former human master. The animals spent the rest of his life almost starving and working in the construction of the windmill that was destroyed several times. The abolishment of Sunday morning meetings, the public execution of animals, and the drinking of alcohol were the most important changes that facilitated the transformation of animal farm, and Napoleon as the most responsible for the downfall of the utopian vision of Animal Farm.
