    After reading Animal Farm by George Orwell, the reader can conclude that the pigs use rhetoric to manipulate the other animals in many certain ways. Ethos, pathos, and logos are the three rhetoric strategies that the pigs use. Animal Farm represents the “Russian Revolutionary War”. The three pigs all impersonate someone different in the war. Napoleon appears as Joseph Stalion.…

    The first example proving Atticus is a good example for his children is that he defends Tom Robinson. He does this while disregarding the fact that Maycomb is a very racist town. The second example proving Atticus is a reliable person and a good role model is the fact that Miss Maudie says “Atticus is the same in his house as he is on the public streets” (Lee, 45). This simple quote from another perspective proves that Atticus is a well rounded person and is reliable anytime and anywhere. The last thing for proving Atticus is a good role model is this quote: "Scout," said Atticus, "n***er-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything—like snot-nose.…

    If Snowball had chased Napoleon off the farm, the place would be in better “hands”, because, as showed in the Battle of Cowshed, he knew what to do. Napoleon was not as intelligent as Snowball was, he could not defend the farm when it was attacked. The plot would have a prosper story, because Napoleon would not almost enslave animals. Farm would be bigger, maybe the biggest one with Snowball’s ideas like the windmill. Snowball would be a better leader, because he was smart, he had great ideas and was willing to help animals.…

    Do you ever want someone who will treat you fairly and not make up any crazy rules for you to follow, then you should vote for Snowball. He will protect the rights for the animals better than anyone else. I believe Snowball will be the best for animal farm because of all the ideas he can come up with, like his idea for the windmill. Snowball will not take things from the animals, like milk from the cows or eggs from the chickens. You see Napoleon is trying to take over because he thinks he can fix our problems, when really he is the problem.…

    I can say myself I wasn't surprised when Snowball became a traitor because he’s a pig. Literally the pigs had the mindset that they were in charge and they were the ones who knew right from wrong. Boxer’s death did hit a soft spot in my heart because he was the behind the scenes guy and never got any credit. The only reason the animals were able to survive was because of Boxer. If you weren’t a pig you weren’t “equal” enough to live up to their expectations.…

    Both of these pigs are very intelligent and they were the first few among the other animals to start reading and writing. Snowball is a very good speaker and gives powerful speeches meanwhile Napoleon lacks while giving a speech. Snowball is the one who always spoke first and he always came up with the ideas for the farm. Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive (Orwell 35). Snowball also wrote the seven commandments.…
