“I think the international community should unite to fight such inhuman phenomena as terror attacks and the murder of totally innocent people.” Words by Vladimir Putin a man who has taken countless lives of innocent people. Putin is exceptionally well at being a hypocrite. He accuses people of doing actions he himself has done. Just like Putin a character who has also made some of the same choices as Putin is Napoleon from George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Putin and Napoleon have a remarkable amount of things in common yet then again have a few differences Do not go against Vladimir Putin unless you are ready to sacrifice your life. “ A top political nemesis of President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed early Saturday in central Moscow, Russian police said, one day before an opposition rally was scheduled to take place” (Cnn.com).

Just like Putin there 's another being with the same intentions. When the animals of Animal Farm took Snowball’s side they were immediately gotten rid of. “ The dogs promptly tore their throats out” …show more content…

Who would have ever thought that a simple dictator could have so much in common with a pig from a book. It’s quite silly actually to think about it almost makes it seem like it 's a common thing for a dictator to make decisions like these. Though the things that Putin and Napoleon did are very weird both of them did it which makes it seem like it actually isn’t that weird especially for two dictators to do. No matter how common it is for dictators to pull stunts like the examples that have been given it is wrong nonetheless. As this essay is being written it is questioned, why is it that most dictators do terrible things and why isn’t their a dictator doing something good for a

With injustice and cruelty running rampant in the world, it is unsurprising that people become determined to make things better for tomorrow. The cliché saying that the ends justify the means is often quoted by those aware of the moral greyness of their actions. Commendable yet unreasonable, leaders whose sole purpose in life is to fix what they see as “wrong” with the world fall prey to thinking there is only ally or enemy. In the long run, they harm those they try to liberate.

Napoleon Bonaparte is a controversial figure in history, while some argue that he was a tyrant, others would say that he was a saviour of the French people, and a spreader of secular values. Regardless of one’s opinion, we mustn't neglect the many accomplishments he achieved throughout his reign as Emperor of France. As a young man, Napoleon joined a military academy, where he grew fascinated by famous figures like Julius Caesar, Hannibal Barca, and especially Alexander the Great. With the eruption of the French Revolution, Napoleon was quickly able to rise up through the ranks, eventually leading the French people to a victory over the monarchy, and later, the tyrants of the Reign of Terror. During his reign, he maintained his belief in the ideals of the revolution, which form the current national motto

Power is entirely about influence and freedom to act upon one’s will. Humans are corrupted by power and greed because of the selfishness and narcissism that exists within everyone. While almost all leaders mean well, every politician’s true motives and goals are applying their ideas to the world. This becomes a problem when others don’t speak out against damaging, wrong ideas, especially when absolute power exists and there are no means of communication between parties. Napoleon perfectly characterizes a totalitarian regime, similar to North Korea’s.

Throughout, Dostoevsky highlights the passage’s over-arching theme’s relevancy when Raskolnikov relates his theory to Napoleons rein in history, he “maintain[s] that all great men or even men a little out of the common, that [are] to say capable of giving some new word, must from their very nature be criminals—more or less, of course,” (Dostoevsky 466). Historically, Napoleon, both politically and socially, has ensured his status as an admired yet provocative leader. Raskolnikov’s allusion to this cunning leader emphasizes the motivation of his paper, and shows Dostoevsky’s attempt to “rationalize” Raskolnikov’s reasoning behind the murders successfully. Through these relations, we are able to see that Raskolnikov truly believes he is either a “great [man] or even a little out of the common.” By committing the act, it uncovers not just a physical commitment, but mental too—Raskolnikov’s final step in assuming this “great man”, was to fully commit to his Superman Theory.

I, Napoleon, know you have been up to no good. I fear that many of you may be committing acts against your fellow comrades or, even worse, maybe in alliance with Snowball.

After Snowball had finished his speech about the windmill, napoleon had called for his dogs with a “high pitched whimper,” to chase Snowball off the farm. The dogs created fear in all of the animals, making it easy for Napoleon to take over the leadership of Animal Farm. The dogs were the puppies that Napoleon had taken away from their mothers and “reared privately,” implying that Napoleon had intended to control the dogs for his own bodyguards from the beginning. The dogs would also prevent rebellion against Napoleon by letting out “menacing,” growls every time an animal would question Napoleon’s authority any further. Though later in the chapter, Napoleon orders his dogs to slaughter any of the animals who had previously questioned his authority on Animal Farm.

We often find that it is simpler to stay hidden in the dark, rather than step out into the light. As citizens it is our responsibility to call out our leaders if they are not taking notice of what we, the people, want or need.

As Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin and Snowball, Leon Trotsky, it is natural that these two pigs have different personalities. Napoleon is a more fierce-looking character than Snowball, who is known to get his own way. Snowball, in the other hand, is more vivacious and talkative than Napoleon. These two pigs have different views over the Seven Commandments and how other animals should be governed and treated.
