Question 3

The main characters in this novel are pig Napoleon, his helper Squealer and pig Snowball. I do like Snowball, but I do not like Napoleon and Squealer. I don’t like these two characters because they are dishonest, mean, and irresponsible. I think they are irresponsible because if Napoleon took over the farm he should look after it and take care of the animals on the farm, but instead of doing that he just takes care of himself, and worries about only his stuff. Napoleon and Squealer are dishonest because they made their own rules that they could follow, but other animals are not allowed to. Also Napoleon changed seven commandments, because he just wanted to be like people. Napoleon is mean because he kills animals on the farm and he makes them work while he is sleeping or doing his own things. I like Snowball because he is smart and obedient. I think Snowball is obedient because he followed Majors directions, and he is smart because he knew that now animals were against him, so he just left them alone. I don’t find anything special about these characters; to me they are just animals that have their own lives on the farm. The way they revealed universal human experience is by walking on their hind legs, sleeping in beds, wearing human’s clothes and to have business with people. Before doing this, they promised never to do so, because it was against their seven commandments. Also Napoleon changed the seven commandments because he liked human way more than animal’s rights
