1st blog- Question 3

3. Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?

The main character of this novel is Napoleon, the pig who becomes the leader of all animals by revolting against humans. At first, I liked him a lot because he was very confident and brave. He also had great leadership to lead all animals to make better lives. However, as I realized that he becomes very bossy because he thinks that pigs are the most intelligent animals, I started to lose interest in him. I really didn’t like how he bossed other animals to work all day when only thing he did was directing. And his actions of making animals unfortunate made me to disagree with the idea that pigs are the most intelligent animals. Napoleon’s actions reveal about the universal human experience because many selfish leaders these days make wrong decision and make everyone around him to suffer.
