Pigs Will Be Pigs
In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, corruption and tyranny are demonstrated. The Manor Farm started off as being ran by humans, Mr. Jones. Since Jones rarely fulfilled his daily chores, the animals had gotten fed up. One day the animals rebelled against Jones, driving him out and his men off the Manor Farm. After the rebellion, the animals finally had the farm to themselves. Maintaining the farm was easy because they did it for so long, but keeping the farm was going to be hard. The two main leaders of the farm are Snowball and Napoleon. Snowball and Napoleon are pigs with differing opinions on everything. They can never come to an agreement, but make really good …show more content…
Snowball was an intelligent speaker, inventive, warm-hearted, and tried to do well for the farm. For example, when Jones was planning to attack Animal Farm, Snowball read a book about Caesar's campaigns giving him knowledge about defensive operations (Orwell 23). Snowball had devised a plan to fight back against Jones, and he won. After the fight, Snowball was awarded ‘Animal Hero, First Class’. Snowball was the better leader because he knew how to talk to the animals. Snowball wanted to do what was best for the farm. On the other hand, Napoleon was a fierce-looking, independent, stubborn pig who always got his way. For example when snowball and Napoleon were debating on Sunday about the windmill plans, Napoleon decided to call in his hounds (31). Napoleon, as stubborn as he was, got his way. Napoleon wanted to be in full control of Animal Farm. Not soon after Snowball's expulsion, Napoleon wanted the windmill to be built after all. Having no reason for changing his mind, Napoleon said Snowball stole the idea from him. Squealer explained to the animals that Snowball was a bad influence and needed to be expelled. As cunning as Napoleon was he convinced the animals that Snowball, the better pig, was a thief and liar. A leader should be truthful, trustworthy, inventive, and not selfish. In fact, Napoleon was the exact opposite of Snowball. Even though Napoleon and Snowball are very different they …show more content…
For instance, Snowball believes in a revolution similar to Old Major's dream: life without humans for all farms. Snowball believed all humans consumed but did not produce. After the farm was free of human control, some order had to be put into play. Snowball wanted to put the Seven Commandments on the barn (14-15). Snowball is giving the animals and unalterable law to live by as long as Animal Farm was alive. By painting the Seven Commandments on the barn Snowball, was giving the animal's motivation to embrace their freedom. Snowball is not only motivated, but he motivates the other animals to work hard on the farm. If Snowball motivates the animals, then he will earn their trust and they will work for him. After Snowball wrote the Seven Commandments, he convinced the animals to harvest a hay field faster than the humans to prove that the animals were better than them. Snowball knows how to talk to the animals because all the animals believed in Old Major's dream of being able to be free. Snowball was so influenced by Old Major that when Major passed away, Snowball wanted to fulfill Major's dream. On the other hand, Napoleon was only motivated by defeating Snowball. Napoleon did not like Snowball because he always proposed something the animals would like. For instance, when Snowball organized the other animals into what he called Animal Committees, Napoleon took no interest in them. Napoleon is only
