  1. Napoleon Was brought into the story as quiet, intelligent, and someone who always gets their way, but later on in the novel he begins to become more outspoken and harsh towards the others, he simply gets worse throughout the story. Napoleon didn't seem to take much interest in the rebellion at first, but then he convinces them to turn on Snowball and later on they can do human things, such as, Drink alcohol and walk on their hind legs. Napoleon becomes deceitful and devious to the animals. I don't like Napoleon because he is cunning, evil, rude, and malicious. The author made Napoleon this way to show the bad side of the idea of trying to rebel.

  3. I feel that Napoleon acted worse and worse to his comrades every chapter of the book. i feel this way because he betrayed Snowball by sending dogs to run him of the farm and to treat all the animals with no respect. the author made him this way because when I read about him it said that when he was in school he had a scholar ship and everyone picked on him because he wasn't rich enough to go to the school. this relates to the story by napoleon being the rich people with the power and not treating the animals the same, and the rest of the animals being the author. I think he is communicating to us that Napoleon is the person who thinks they're better then you and can tell you what to do.

  4. to be honest i dont like napoleon was a jerk and he should have been kidnapped and taken from the farm because he was being very mean to them and didnt treat them with any respect at all because he thought just because he thought he had the authority he could just take over and hurt everybody. the author made him this way because he was always getting picked at in college and did'nt have enough money to go there. this relates to the story because napoleon had the power and he was one of the pickers and all the other animals was the author. he is talking to us that napoleon is better than everybodyelse and think s he can rule things.

  5. Napoleon was the meaniest pig of them all he always betrayed the animals and he would treat the animals very bad. Napoleon was like a rich spoiled pig and always looked down on the other animals because they wasnt as powerful as him. And he though that he could get away with being a jerk in the beginning but at the end he stuffered. He pretty much gets worst through the rest of the story. Because you got to have someone in the story who thinks there better than everyone. He is basically saying to us that napoleon is to good for everyone that doesnt have power and can rule everyone.

  6. I didn't like Napoleon. He was the curliest pig of them all he always treated the other animals bad and gave them no respect. Throughout the whole book. He convinced the other animals to turn on snowball, act like humans such as Walk on their hind legs. He gets worse and worse through out the chapters. The author made him that way to show us the bad side of rebel, and that he wasn't that rich and he was on a scholarship for school therefore the other's everyone picked on him. Since Napoleon had the power he thought he better than everyone and he could basically rule everybody

  7. Napoleon wasn't my favorite person/animal. He seemed really cool and nice at first but then at the end you got to see he really wasn't that nice at all. He was pretty good at playing mind games with everyone. All he really wanted was to be in control of everything

  8. You could say that Naopleon was a "fony". He was'nt who he said he was. At the begining of the story i thought that he was doing the right things and leading the animals in the right direction. As the story goes on he becomes more saspicious. He believes that he is better than all the other animal and he forgets that all animals are egual. Through the novel he becomes worse by changing in many ways: believing that he is better than others, he becomes just like Mr. Jones, he walkes on his hind legs, he changes his tone of voice, and treats the animals like slaves. I believe that the author made him this way to teach the reader that not everyone says who they are. You should'nt give up on what you believe just because things get tuff.(dont be like the animals)The same reason why the author made him the way he is is the same reason on how the other is trying to communicate to the reader about Napoleon.
