1. Compare and Contrast Napoleon and Snowball.
Napoleon uses fear and constant control to get his power. Snowball uses helpful ways for the farm, to get his power. Napoleon chases Snowball away because he's a threat. Snowball plays fair, letting the animals choose. Napoleon kills animals who rebel against him. Snowball was chased away before this. Napoleon and Snowball are very different, but yet the same. All these differences hold a common factor. Each one of them is power hungry, competing for the power. What they use it for is a simple and obvious difference. In conclusion, Napoleon and Snowball are extremely different, but who could have seen that their closely similar.
3. Animal Farm is told from Orwell's presective. He chose his persepctive because he's the one telling this story. Telling people who we have become inside this Nation. We have changed into horrid, controling, power hungry people. All we care about is ourselfs and simply don't who or what we hurt. In the end we are really hurting the people, the Nation, the world, and life itself. Soon we, this world will just simply be a story, history to the life on other planets, the life we may never find.
