questions one and three

3- it is told from the animals perspective. he most likley showed it from this perspective becuase maybe this is what he thinks animals see us as.

1- napolen and snowball have there similarities and differences. to start off they both want to be the leader of animal farm. snowball is what you would say as devious. napolen on the other hand is a much better leader to me. he acts like a leader by having body gaurds and a throne. next snowball is more outgoing then napolen. snow ball is getting the loyalty of the other animals while napolen is inside the house all day . last they are both smart and intellegent. so far napolen remains as the leader.
