    Animal Farm

    The book Animal Farm is a story about a farm on which the animals fight for much more than just the best stall to sleep in. The book is basically summed up into all of the animals taking over the farm and running it on their own. In the book there is a very prominent power struggle between two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon. When compared, they actually are very similar and also very different. In my opinion, Snowball will always be remembered as the honest and actually cared about the well being of the farms and the animals on it. Napoleon was just a selfish, well… pig. Although, both pigs felt that they had the right to be in charge.…
