How are Snowball and Napoleon different in Animal Farm?

andare
very different.  The only thing that they share is the fact that they are pigs.  Immediately
after the revolution, Snowball proved to be a vigorous leader in many ways. First, he was a
great intellect.  For example, he studied the works of Julius Caesar to learn military
techniques. Second, he was quick to create committees and other groups to get work done on the
farm. Here is a quote:

Snowball also busied himself with
organizing the other animals into what he called Animal Committees. He was indefatigable at
this.

Finally, Snowball was also a visionary.  He thought
of building a windmill. 

Napoleon, on the other hand, did not see eye to eye
with Snowball.  He did not see the need for committees and organizational structure.  In fact,
he dismissed all of these things.  Instead, he believed that the education of the young was most
important. So, he took the puppies of Bluebell and Jessie and raised them for himself. Later
they became his guard dogs.  He used them to control the farm and even drive out Snowball. Here
is what the text says:

Napoleon took no interest in
Snowballs committees. He said that the education of the young was more important than anything
that could be done for those who were already grown up.


In the end, Napoleon was more successful, because he introduced a reign of
terror.
