Additionally the phrase “like a bear” and “paws” suggest that Lennie’s physical power is significantly immense that Steinbeck compares him to a bear which is known to have colossus amounts of physical strength; this also reinforces the fact that Lennie’s strength is abnormal and also suggests his strength is unhuman like. George says in the novel “coulda bust every bone in my body”. Here the readers deduce that Lennie has obvious physical power over George. Also we can deduce that the phrase “bust” suggests that Lennie’s physical power is to a great extent against George who has little physical power compared to Lennie. In addition, it is ironic that although Lennie has a significant advantage of physical power George remains the dominant in the duo as he
This is an immediate contrast to Lennie’s character because it shows that George is the opposite of Lennie; his character is well defined and alert. This makes us understand better why Lennie feels the need to stand behind George all the time and rely on someone who is more alert than he is. John Steinbeck gives the impression that Lennie always stumbled and did not know what to do with himself. The quote “dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws” give me the image that Lennie just slugs around and was so large and disconnected that he couldn’t pick up his feet. Steinbeck comparing him to a bear implies that he wanted the audience to get the impression that Lennie was as fumbling as an animal but also that Lennie was very strong, like a bear.
“Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar…not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way.” The word “fierce” describe Napoleon as furious and violent. Also the phrase “…getting his own way” shows that nobody can stop him/unrestrained. Overall, Orwell portrays Napoleon as someone who is sneaky and clever. The key part that Napoleon plays in the novel, Animal Farm, is the fact that Napoleon and Snowball are always competing with each other to persuade other animals to get on their side and to get more power. “Snowball and Napoleon butted the door open with their shoulders and the animals entered in single file…Snowball and Napoleon called them together.” The words “entered” and “single file” shows and tells the reader that Snowball and Napoleon were in charge.
There's a folkloric quality to this guy and he crashes through the pages like a bear in the underbrush. That said, Baba doesn't offer Amir much in the way of a parent. If you're aloof and A Big Deal, how are you supposed to have an intimate, caring relationship with your son? The answer is – you don't.

His utopia is basically a country run by animals that are all equal that’s why he shows them ‘Beasts of England’ so he basically wants to get rid of “tyrant man”. In the 2nd chapter he old big Berkshire bore dies in his sleep. Thirdly I’m going to discuss Napoleon. Napoleon finds Old majors death a convenience because he can take power. He is very selfish pig because he gains power in bad ways like how he brings the puppies up and makes them into an army to gain power by using them to chase Snowball(his biggest rival) out of the farm.
At the beginning of ‘Of Mice and Men,’ Lennie’s physical characteristics are described as, ‘a huge man... with wide, sloping shoulders.’(Chapter 1)This gives the reader the impression of a fairly intimidating man due to his height and broadness. He is also described as walking ‘heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws.’ (Chapter 1) Other animalistic qualities are used throughout the book as well to describe Lennie’s features. This implies to the reader that Lennie is possibly quite untamed of the mind and personality which is proven later through his actions of strength throughout the book. Lennie’s close bond to animals also mimics his animalistic personality and features. His almost constant talking about ‘the rabbits’ that George and he will be tending to once they’ve earned enough money to buy their own land, implies he has a caring nature toward animals as well as feeling a passion for animals.
After it says in the story, “this first theft marked Buck as fit to survive in the hostile, Northland environment” (London13). Buck has to change his lifestyle in order to survive with the other dogs. He went from being domesticated to a dominant leader of a pack of wild sled dogs. In order for Buck to be able to demonstrate the concept survival of the fittest Bucks heredity would have to sprout and he would have to become one with the ways of his ancestors. Heredity is the next concept of naturalism in the novel, Call of the Wild.
“Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe.” - Winston Churchill Old Major is an old pig who is amongst the main characters and a very important individual of the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell. Old Major displayed admirable character traits of wisdom, leadership and inspiration throughout the novel. Unfortunately Old Major passed away shortly after his speech to the animals leaving Snowball and Napoleon to struggle for control of his legacy.

Decisive leaders make vital decisions which make them strong and gain power and respect from their nations. Strong leaders are required in a crisis and catastrophic times, as shown in the African proverb, "an army of sheep led by a lion can defeat an army of lions led by a sheep." Moreover, the leader should be strong enough in order not to lose the control of his reign. There are two examples of morally good leaders who lost their authority because of their weakness. The first example is Snowball in Animal Farm, Snowball fails because he cannot compete with Napoleon's brutal and selfish purpose to gain power "At the meetings, Snowball often won over the majority through his brilliant speeches, but Napoleon was better at canvassing support for him in between times.
