Do you and your siblings ever fight? When you go and tell your mom are you the one that wins the argument? Napoleon and Snowball are you and your siblings. One won the final argument. They are pigs that live on the Animal Farm. They have similarities but many more differences. Napoleon is a sneaky pig who has to have it his way always, on the other hand Snowball likes to hear others input while putting his own in. Each pig tries to influence all the animals to side with them. Napoleon lead the animals by using violence and fear. He sat around watching the other animals starve and work themselves to no end. He snuck around and made rules without notifying the animals. He did everything his way without others view of it. He used dogs to alarm the other animals and if anyone went against the or was a suspected traitor he had them executed. Orwell represents these characteristics on page 16 in Animal Farm, “ Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar… with a reputation for getting his own way”. Later in the book you see how he gets his way forcefully. Snowball always put the animals ideas together in order to lead a society with prosperity. Snowball was a great speaker. He wanted what was best for the revolution. He lead the animals into revolution against the humans. He believed that all animals were equal and the seven commandments should be followed to the fullest. He put his life in danger in the Battle at Cowshed. Orwell writes in Animal Farm ¨ Snowball
