Animal Farm - Snowball
In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, a group of rebellious animals take control of a quiet farm in rural England. The leader dies, and the two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, take over as dictators.
In the beginning of the book, Snowball is trying to get the animals into the right frame of mind. Mollie is upset because there will be no humans to give her sugar, or put ribbons in her hair. It is Snowball who declares that the ribbons are a sign of slavery and ownership, and how man has over-worked animals only to be slaughtered under the "cruel knife".
