Snowball and Napoleon
In the book Animal Farm, the main character at the beginning of the book was Old Major. He was a prize boar who was leader of the animals under Mr. Jones. His two followers were Snowball and Napoleon who were also pigs. All of the pigs were in a higher class, because they learned to read and write.
Old Major was the old leader. He had a dream about animals taking over the farm. In the dream the animals rebelled against Mr. Jones, and won the farm. Just after Old Major died, the animals rebelled after being starved, and forced to steal the food. Old Major’s dream came true.
After the death of Old Major, the pigs took control, and put the seven commandments in place. These commandments were meant not to be broken, yet the pigs bent them some. The pigs learned to read and write, and lead the other animals. The first real leader was Snowball. Snowball showed the animals how to get food and grain, and he learned how to use the tools which were made for humans. Snowball had found a book of Julius Caesar and he planned the defense against Mr. Jones and the other farmers attempt to take the farm back. It was known as the Battle of Cowshed. Snowball was awarded Animal Hero First-Class. Snowball had originally made plans for the building of a windmill. Napoleon apposed by urinating on the plans, and asked for a vote to build the windmill, and the rivalry began.
None of the other animals knew it, but Napoleon had raised puppies to big dogs to dislike Snowball. So when the voting started, napoleon called for the dogs to attack, and ran snowball off of the property. So, Napoleon turned into a leader. As time went on, Napoleon began using abuse of language to trick the other animals into believing that Napoleon is always right, and that life is now easier, but it really wasn’t. Food became hard to get, and the animals were made to work, or killed. Napoleon began to become more like a human, and life became harder for the animals.
In Animal Farm, Snowball was a leader who did his best to make life easier on the other animals. Napoleon made life harder for the animals, and tried to make more food and necessities for himself and the pigs. Napoleon was trading with humans, and breaking the commandments. The commandments got changed quickly, and everything was easier for him, but not the animals. Animal far was changed back to Manor Farm, and life was just as it was under Mr. Jones.
