English 1: why does Napoleon lie paragraph

 In Animal Farm, Napoleon lies to the other animals because he wants to stay in control of the farm. He becomes a dictator and makes the other animals work like slaves. First of all, he gets rid of snowball after all the things he did for the other animals.  He releases the dogs on him to try to either kick him out the farm or more likely kill him. Then after that he tells Squealer to go out and spread rumors to keep snowball from showing his face around the farm ever again. Not to long after that he goes and changes the  amendments of animal farm, and after he breaks them he changes them so he can stay in charge.  he has animals killed, he gets drunk, he wears clothes, walks on to legs, sleeps in Jones bed, and claims that pigs are the superior animals on the farm. Once all these rules are broken he tells squealer to go to where the amendments are and change them so he can still be in charge and make it seem like he has done nothing wrong. Finally he tricks the other animals that he was a hero and he wants that to be the main reason why they should keep him on the farm. He claims to have been at the Battle of Cowshed, that snowball and jones was working with each other the whole time and the he stopped snowball and jones before they could take over the farm again. also he awards himself with the animal hero 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class. In the end, none of the animals rise up against him. therefore he remains leader of thew farm.

Why Zaroff values Liberty more than Equality final copy

Zaroff values liberty way more than equality for these following reasons. He thinks that he is better than other people.  He calls his own kind "savages" while he claims he is "civilized". Also he makes fun of Ivan because he is deaf and dumb.  Secondly he believes that life should only be for the strong. He states "Life is for the strong, why shouldn't I hunt things that are weaker than I am?"  Finally he hunts people just because he thinks it’s better than hunting animals.  He hunted a black man who he says was "amusing but not that bright." Also hunts Rainsford because he believes that he would be more of a challenge.  In the end Zaroff would most likely value liberty more than equality because all the stuff he's done.
