4. Compare the style of leadership between Snowball and Napoleon.
snowball is always the one coming up with ideas (inventive, creative). He truly cares for the well being of the farm and frequenty comes up with all sort of ideas trying to improve the farm (examples?). but sometimes even when snowball's ideas are useful the animals don't see it's usefulness because the animals are too dumb to understand the importance of it and how it would benefit them and the farm. How about Napoleon?
snowball uses his brilliant speeches to win the loyalty of the animals. the animals are easily stirred away by napolean as they are easy to accept whatever it is told to them. they do not have a mind of their own or that they just are not clever enough to think for themselves. but only relying on his ideas and eloquences, snowball is no match for the power hungry napolean. (so clearly state that Snowball relies on his eloquence to get things done, but Napoleon is "not much of a talker" and hence, has to use other methods, such as threats and intimidation).
napolean banishes snowball and rises to power himself (his leadership involves eliminating his competitor). To the animals napolean is doing them a big fat favour, finally eliminated the threat on the farm and sacrificing himself for taking up the responsibility of the farm. actually, napolean is the threat on the farm and should be the one being banished (explain why you say this) and napolean's banishing snowball is nothing but self serving which is a big loss to the farm (how? in what way isit a loss?).
napolean was smart enough to look far ahead and build a secret army to protect himself. this was plotted in chapter 3 when the dogs were just puppies. the dogs were already brainwashed by him to serve and treat him like a master. he uses this to also intimidate the animals. so even if they want to rebel they have to choice but to play along as no one wants to die. he also uses intimidation to eliminate all the other threats on the farm. How about Snowball?
napolean uses propaganda, squealer, to manipulate the animals. How about Snowball?
napolean tells the animals a different story to convince them that snowball has always been alongside jones and is the cause of every problem in the farm. he pushes the blame (about what? be more specific) to snowball so he, a not good enough leader, gets away with the blame. napolean has no right to rewrite history. (Does Snowball do such things?)
napolean's ideas for the farm only benefits the pigs and the dogs. he is not being a fair leader. he also go against the commandments and twist and alter the commandments so it would seem that his acts are not crime at all. (how about Snowball's ideas? - i feel that this paragraph should be combined with the very 1st paragraph since they are both dealing with coming up with ideas)
napolean betrays boxer's loyalty by sending him to the slaughter house just so that he could have the money to indulge in alcohol. very selfish and coldhearted indeed, he actully trades life for alcohol.
eventually, all the pigs come to resemble human under his rule. the animals' situation on the farm is no better than in jones's times accept that they do not get whip from time to time but when napolean started to walk on twos, he was carrying a whip (significance of this? What are you trying to say here? That Napoleon's leadership is characterised by tyranny?)
napolean succeeded in making himself leader through lies and manipulation thanks to the animals' stupidity. but he does not possess good leadership skills as he oppresses the animals like any other human and changed the commandments from all animals are equal to the pigs being much more superior (quote some commandments he changed and give some evidence of the commandmanets he went against). the main reason for the rebellion was to be free of oppression but napolean did not promote that (evidence? Banning the Beasts of England song?).
snowball has the qualities to be a good leader and napolean does not.
Good number of points brought up. Do take note of my comments. The only issue i want to raise here is that this is a comparison question, Therefore, for every point that you raise, you have to discuss both Snowball and Napoleon only then are you doing a comparison. Once again, more specific evidence and some quotes needed.
Suggestion: Look at Phoebe's group's answer for this question. Their group's prganisation is good. They have the various headings under which they have considered Napoleon's and Snowball's leadership. My only comment on their response is to avoid using the same examples over and over again. Think of different examples. If that is really not possible, adn the point for which you are usign the same evidence is similar, then combine the points into the same paragraph.
