Animal Farm Comrades Analysis

Comrades of Animal Farm, for the past centuries we animals have been maltreated, restricted of any freedoms or rights whatsoever, and dominated unfairly by the villainous human race whom we despise most. We have been merely living under the tyrannical rule of those who take but do not give. Yet, despite all of our successful attempts to thwart the infiltration of these so-called animals, we have never tasted true freedom nor liberty. We have been waiting patiently for the entirety of our lives to be given the opportunity in which we can determine what is best for us on an individual level. The time has finally come where you, an animal of Animal Farm, must make a choice; a choice must be made for who will be the one to continue to lead us on

It is now that we must choose either to take on the ways of the vile and antagonistic human species or to restore the idea of animalism. The latter is exactly what has been presented by one of our very own comrades, Napoleon. The combination of both his dashing personality and his extensive cerebral capabilities is one to truly admire. His sole purpose in life, to help you, me, and every animal on the farm, stands strong to this day. This is exactly why I, Matthew Pork, stand before you today with utmost pleasure to tell you why Napoleon is in fact the leader Animal Farm needs.

First and foremost, I wish to remind you that Napoleon is very intelligent and has the proper mindset and characteristics to be a leader. It is known that pigs in general are indeed smart and can “think round every difficulty” (27). They modified the tools so that we could be productive and efficient to finish the season with a plentiful harvest, led the rebellion against Mr. Jones, and even helped restore at least some order to the farm after the revolution. This is exactly what Napoleon has helped do on the farm. His dedication without a doubt should be more acknowledged than it is being now. While the cat sat around and Mollie frolicked around the farm,

Upon us winning the rebellion against Mr. Jones, Napoleon’s very first instinct when we were all pointlessly distracted by the milk was to have everyone march right down to the field to tend to the harvest. He exclaimed, “Never mind the milk, comrades! That will be attended to. The harest is more important” (26). From the beginning, Napoleon has made it his priority to serve us and ensure our survival. Now, you may argue that the milk disappeared when everyone went to the field, but should we be foolishly focusing on five buckets of replenishable milk? When everyone else is doing their jobs including Napoleon, why are we making it a job to focus on the petty, minor incidents on the farm such as the milk? We should be working and appreciating what Napoleon has done for Animal Farm, not taking it for granted. Besides, it was later cleared up that the milk was to be used in the mash of all of the pigs, not just Napoleon. He could have been easily persuaded by the other pigs to take the milk. And remember, he and the other pigs helped to milk the cows so they should deserve a reward. Also at the beginning of the revolution, Napoleon was generous enough to serve every animal double their regular rations including extra biscuits for the dogs. He does not lead for the purpose of power but for the purpose of prosperity. These are the actions of Napoleon that make him a great
