Why Napoleon Is Bad: A Speech
Hello comrades, today right this second, I am supporting Snowball because he is not a thieving liar, a pig of trust and a pig with honor. He is the real pig behind the farm; not Napoleon. He has saved many animals during the Battle of Cowshed and he too shed blood. Napoleon, he is the real liar he has done nothing contributing to the leadership of the society! He is the traitor and not Snowball because he is the one with the ideas and with his heart so bright; brighter than the sun. His heart so pure, the purest even.

And we have Napoleon. His heart so dark and evil it almost conceals him and no light can even be seen in his heart. We cannot trust this man of hell. He is the fake leader of this movement, he is not kind, he will never careless about the animals and he will never be pure of heart because he is consumed by the evil within him the greed, the thirst for power, the abuse of power he has acquired. He will have a tongue of lies which god may even curse and a life full of sin ahead of him.

I do not encourage the leadership of Napoleon. In stead I would let Snowball a true believer take on the challenge because I feel that he who is pure at heart will be our leader and not a pig with a thirst for too much power. And when either takes over who shall be the one? My guess is simple. Snowball the Great Leader. He is the one who fought bravely for the animals, the one who loves the animals to heart’s content! He is not a coward, not an idiot and down to earth and he deserves your support and he does not deserve Napoleon to backstab him! He is the very best of his league the very best strategist. The animals are not doing this for fun! They are doing it for the sake of their society everything they do is for them and they deserve a leader like Snowball. They deserve better! They deserve the intellectual Snowball he always looked at other ways to solve problems and never failed!

He is the chosen one. He is the one who will lead for the future. He is pure.

    The animals have heard so much about Snowball, they started making things up to be on Napoleon’s side. Things get worse when Snowball was accused of being a secret agent, “Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start! He was Jones’ secret agent, all the time” (57). Just when you think Snowball couldn’t get blamed for anything else he gets accused of being a traitor. Everyone in the farm hates him, but as soon as Squealer explains that accusations they all go insane wanting Snowball’s death. Napoleon got what he wanted all along, Snowball was one of the most hated animals, while he is being praised as the magnificent leader. After the day Snowball ran away everything changed, and could never go back to the way it was. Napoleon was in everyone’s mind, he could say anything and they will believe him that’s the reason they all detested Snowball so much. Snowball doesn’t mind any of it, at the end of the day he keeps returning to the farm to explore. Snowball is admirable because no matter how much hate he receives he keeps coming back. This reason clarifies why Snowball is my favorite character, he will never care about…

    It would have been a good idea since the animals were half way to starvation from their rations making some animals unable to fight alongside Napoleon, but the idea also conflicted with two of the commandments. So even if there were animals that fought against Snowball he would not fight back.…

    An absolute monarch or ruler of a people can be what one considers an enlightened despot, or a ruler that makes good laws and promotes human happiness with them. It has been said about the great conqueror and emperor Napoleon Bonaparte that he is the last of the enlightened despots, but others say he is the first of the modern dictators. There is substantial evidence to argue both sides in this dispute, but it is more true to say that Napoleon was the transition between the two. Louis Bergeron, historian, argues that Napoleon was the last of the enlightened despots, while the historian Cobban argues that he was the first of modern dictators. Martyn Lyons believes that he was just the continuation of the French revolution.…

    Ideals of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution were both rooted from the desire to abolish absolute authority, ensure the natural rights of men, and develop a stable government. Napoleon Bonaparte, a prominent military general and French Emperor, strived for these political ideologies, but was corrupt in his way of approaching them. He was strictly egotistical and selfish; these characteristics served only as a catalyst to his abolition. Mohandas Gandhi, a pacifistic revolutionary that led India’s emancipation, stated that “power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment”. Napoleon, however, seized control over France by ruling oppressively and ruthlessly; citizens followed him only in fear of his boundless power. Although Napoleon did help establish political and social equality in France, his uncontrollable desire for personal supremacy suppressed the ideals of the revolution and violated the basic principles of the enlightenment.…

    Eulogy of Napoleon

    Napoleon Bonaparte was a lifelong friend of mine and also one of France’s most successful Emperors. He had an abundant source of energy, and a surprising ability to make quick decisions even in the most pressured situations. These traits and his keen intelligence allowed him to influence the people of whom he ruled over and gain their support. He was truly a supernatural, supporting the fact that he finished three year classes in only a year in school, became a second lieutenant straight out of school, and won many wars being in control of France and its artilleries. His accomplishments followed a significant pattern, all of which led up to him being the Emperor. His genius appeared when he saved France from royalists in Vendemiare. I find it truly amazing how he went from being 9 years old in Military school, to second lieutenant, to Brigadier General leading all artilleries, and to finally becoming Emperor after winning many significant battles. He continuously showed his integrity and eagerness to have everything in control through all his actions. Napoleon Bonaparte is easily the most eager, intelligent, charismatic, successful, and hardest working leader of all time.…

    Enlightened despotism is when there is an absolute ruler, in some cases a tyrant, who follows the principles of the Enlightenment through reforms. Permitting religious toleration, allowing freedom of the press and speech, and expanding education are a few main guidelines to being and enlightened despot. Napoleon I is often referred to as one of the greatest enlightened despots. Although, he did not follow the ideas of the enlightenment entirely, he managed his country in a way that he maintained complete authority as well as many of the gains of the French Revolution. Yes, Napoleon did want to do a few things for himself, but he also ruled for the majority in most cases, promote government-funded education, and supported many other enlightened ideas. But, most importantly, Napoleon did what he thought would make his country stronger.…

    In George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, Napoleon is depicted as a fearless, persuasive leader that his animals follow blindly. But how is it that he became leader? The animals acknowledged that he was the one most capable, the one that knew most about the world. The society of animals chose to give Napoleon the power. He aimlessly became a symbol of freedom. Symbol of hope. If a leader is able to spark an intended goal or hope in a mass of lost people, bestowed upon him will be the society’s trust. Once trust is in someone else’s hands, apathy arises. Too much apathy.…

    The enlightenment was a time of great learning throughout Europe during the eighteenth century. Although the period is significant for scientific and other scholastic advancements, it is most important because it allowed for the opening of great minds--such as that of Napoleon Bonaparte. Shortly after this enlightenment made its way through Europe, revolution and civil war ripped through France between 1879 and 1899. The unrest of the time called for a strong ruler. A man/woman with an open mind and an enlightened soul. France needed a child of the enlightenment to sew its tattered flag. Napoleon Bonaparte was a child of the enlightenment. This was displayed in both his attitudes and policies as a result of enlightened religious ideas, political genius, and social reforms. Almost every ruler in history can be accused of having some kind of religious fanaticism. This religious fervor has led to persecution, civil war, unrest, instability, ignorance, and even genocide. The enlightenment taught philosophes and scholars religious tolerance by lessening the importance of religion and God in everyday life. As a child of the enlightenment, Napoleon had a similar immunization to the devout and was able to use religion as a tool to accomplish his political ideas and goals. An example of this is the fact that whatever new land he conquered, he adopted the religion of that land in order to gain the acceptance of the general population. In France, he was Catholic. In Egypt, he was Muslim. But the only insight we have to his actual religious beliefs are that he said he followed his own star indicating that he pursued a somewhat mystical belief in destiny and fate. He completely regarded the church as a convenience to be taken advantage of by any enlightened despot. When he first came to power, the greatest force that could propel counterrevolution was the Catholic church, so ignoring the infuriated (and politically weak) Jacobeans, he signed a…
