In your opinion, how should money and resources be invested? Think about a nation’s most important needs—security, food, infrast

ructure, energy, etc.—how should they be prioritized? How does the dispute between Snowball and Napoleon reflect the debate over the social, political and economic setting? Whose side are you on? Or if you disagree with both Snowball and Napoleon, what is your proposal for the operation and management of Animal Farm? Respond in an essay of at least 300 words, and cite examples from the text to support your argument.

Answer:

As Joseph Stalin did, Napoleon prefers to work behind the scenes to build his power through manipulation and deal-making, while Snowball devotes himself, as Leon Trotsky did, to winning popular support through his ideas, passionate speeches, and success in debates with his opponent. Snowball seems to work within the political system, while Napoleon willingly circumvents it. Napoleon, for instance, understands the role of force in political control, as is made clear by his use of the attack dogs to expel Snowball from the farm.

Despite Napoleon’s clearly bullying tactics, Orwell’s text doesn’t allow us to perceive Snowball as a preferable alternative. Snowball does nothing to prevent the consolidation of power in the hands of the pigs, nor does he stop the unequal distribution of goods in the pigs’ favor—he may even, in fact, be complicit in it early on. Furthermore, the ideals of Animal Farm—like Orwell’s ideal version of socialism—are rooted in democracy, with all of the animals deciding how their collective action should be undertaken. For any one animal to rise to greater power than any other would violate that ideal and essentially render Animal Farm indistinguishable from a human farm—an unavoidable eventuality by the end of the novella. Though their motives for power may be quite different—Napoleon seems to have a powerful, egocentric lust for control, while Snowball seems to think himself a genius who should be the one to guide the farm toward success—each represents a potential dictator. Neither pig has the other animals’ interests at heart, and thus neither represents the socialist ideals of Animal Farm.

mestny [16]

the lives of the animals have not been improved, especially after Napoleon becomes dictatorial. In the end, they suffer.

At first when everyone works together to get the hay in, their efforts are profitable. However, after a time the animals realize that the pigs enjoy the cow's milk in their mash, and the "windfalls" such as the ripening apples are not shared, but brought to the harness room for the pigs (Ch. 3).

Then, in Chapter 4, the animals must engage in battle with the humans [the Battle of the Cowshed], and some of the sheep are killed.

"If you don't like something, change
Nostrana [21]

What does this quote mean?

If you can change something you’re complaining about it, then you better take action and rid yourself of whatever it is. If you can’t change it, then perhaps, that’s the universe telling you that you need to change your outlook. Because without changing the outlook, you will allow it to bother you forever. For each negative, pick up a positive and only concentrate on that. The true message always seeps through; you just have to acknowledge it.

Have you ever had to do this?

yes many times yes

it means exactly as it says.

If it’s at all possible, certainly go ahead and try to change the thing (s) that is bothering you.

If you cant change it? If there is nothing you can do about it?

Then there is no point in going around frustrated, angry, bugged and bothered for the rest of your life.

Change your attitude. Find something positive in it, make peace with it, learn to live with it. Find a way to enjoy and be happy with life even though that ‘thing (s)’ still exists unchanged.

Here is an example

You have a an old, beat-up, dented car that still runs. You could hate the car because its ugly and people make fun of it. You cannot afford a new one. So you cant do anything about changing the car for a prettier one.

You could be miserable inside hating life because you are stuck driving a ridiculous looking car while everyone else has nicer cars.

Or you could change your attitude and think how lucky you are to have transportation and that you can go wherever you want, when you want.

You can recognize that some people have worse cars then yours or no transportation at all.

You can recognize that car does not define who your are.

Further you could give the car a funny name and affectionately call the car by its name.

Further, you could come up with you own jokes about your car, give it a personality and beat other people to the punch lines. You can get them to laugh and you can have fun owning your very own wonderful Dent-Mobile.
