Napoleon's Lies Paragraph

Ms. Melville
English I

In the story "Animal Farm", Napoleon lies to the animals for a few reasons. Firstly, he lies to get Snowball out of the picture completely. He makes up numerous lies about Snowball, which made Snowball the enemy to the animals. At one of the meetings, Napoleon says, "Here and now, I pronounce the death sentence among Snowball." Secondly, Napoleon wants to get all of the animals on his side. Snowball and Napoleon would always argue about things. At a meeting, Napoleon said very quietly that the windmill was nonsense and advised nobody to vote for it. Lastly, Napoleon lies to get all of Snowball's ideas. When Snowball left the farm, Napoleon claimed his ideas. When Napoleon claimed Snowball's windmill idea, "the animals were surprised that Napoleon wanted the windmill". In conclusion, Napoleon lies to the animals just as Stalin lied to his people in Russia, and we compare the two and see just how unfair it was.
