    When Old Major dies a few nights after his famous Rebellion speech, Napoleon and Snowball, both boars, combine together and formulate his main principles into a philosophy called Animalism. A few nights later when they have defeated Mr Jones in battle and changed the farm name to Animal Farm they work together in running the farm. Snowball teaches the animals to read, whilst Napoleon educates a young group of puppies. It is here where Napoleon first begins to work on the beginning of the Rebellion when he tells Mollie and Bluebell that education was more important to the young than the old as he was preparing for the next generation. However what he was really doing was preparing for the uprising against Snowball, to take charge of the farm, when the dogs would play a pivotal role acting as body guards to him.…

    The primary issue that Old Major has with the principle of working for man is that the animals do the work for no benefit, while Mr. Jones lives a life of excess. Old major is disgruntled by the fact that the man barks orders at his animals, and the animals remain malnourished and neglected even though they do the bulk of the man’s work. Soon after Napoleon and Snowball seize control of Animal Farm, as the animals work tenaciously in the fields, the pigs “…did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others” (50). The pigs’ integrity continues to decline as the story unfolds; the reader sees that they become more akin to the parasitic man which they had sought to be liberated from than diligent leaders they portrayed themselves to be. The pigs, who have taken the place of man at the farm, now begin to reap the benefits of the other animals’ work.…

He would always put the farm first and try to achieve everyone's needs, this is seen when he devised a plan for a windmill tower that would produce electricity and benefit everyone on the farm.

    Napoleon and Snowball share their characteristics in many ways including intelligence, how convincing both pigs are, and leadership traits. First, Napoleon and Snowball both have similar intelligence traits. For example, both Napoleon and Snowball could read and write perfectly. Snowball had written all the windmill plans with careful thinking and use of time. Napoleon, however, had used his knowledge to write a fake letter said to be written by Snowball to have agreed to be a secret agent to the Foxwood Farm. Napoleon knew that the other animals could not read very well and so by making his letter, no one could prove the letter was false except for the pigs that knew very well what Napoleon did. In addition, both Napoleon and Snowball were the most active in the speeches and the planning. Both pigs wanted to establish a social and economic system and be the leader of the farm. Furthermore, both pigs were smart to confuse the animals the animals in order to get their way. They used the same excuse of " Do you want Jones and his men to come back?!?" The animals, however, were too stupid to think for themselves, thus letting the two pigs get what they wanted.…

    On the Animal Farm, once known as the Manor farm, Napoleon, the pig self-established leader, argues that Snowball is the real evil, an animal turned against his comrades, a criminal. Napoleon claims that it was all Snowball from the start, every wicked deed done was his fault and puts a reward out for his capture. The claims Napoleon makes are supported by Squealer, a fellow pig in his league, by first saying that that Snowball had not fought bravely at The Battle of Cowshed, though he had, and that bravery is not of much importance anyway. Several other incidents are brought up against Snowball such as the windmill and every other problem on the farm. And hence, Napoleon has succeeded in his purpose, using words and lies to to take control…

    Although Animal Farm has to deal with animals it also relates to human life. This is how, In Animal Farm they do not like to be mistreated by their owner as all of us do. All of the character in this book feel that they have been mistreated by Mr.Jones who is the drunk owner for all these animals. Old major is the character that I relate to the most. Old Major is an old boar whose speech about the evils perpetrated by humans roused the animals into rebelling. His philosophy concerning the tyranny of Man is named Animalism by his followers. He also teaches the song "Beasts of England" to the animals. He has told all the animals about Utopia which is a perfect world that they would not have to worry about someone telling them what to do. The reason I have a connection with Old major is because, he has a vision of a perfect world and when people or the animals in his case that they believe in themselves. I am like that because I don't like people that aren't confident with what they have. Also, when they don't believe that they can do something that they have done before but just don't have the confidence to do it again.…
