Significant Contribution Napoleon Makes

Napoleon didn’t contribute in the rebellion very much

He became the leader and ruled everyone by fear He scared them into doing any work needed to be

done Trades with the humans, eventually becoming one

himself All he does is lay around the farm house and “think”

about new ideas to “improve” the farm when really their just thinking of how to improve the pig’s lives

Ultimate Fate of Napoleon

He's just like a human He smokes a pipe Reads human magazines Listens to radio Wears human clothes Walks on two legs carrying a whip Changed the line “Four legs good, Two legs bad”

to “Four legs good, Two legs better”

One Piece of Criticism from the Internet

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

“Four legs good, two legs better! All Animals Are Equal. But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others.”

"Gentlemen, I will give you the same toast as before, but in a different form. Fill your glasses to the brim. Gentlemen, here is my toast: To the prosperity of The Manor Farm! “
