Napoleon and Snowball had differing opinons concerning defense in Animal Farm. Explain how each leader felt the farm should be protected.

I agree.  Napoleon clearly advocated the use of force in
any confrontation in order to keep the farm.  Snowball, on the other hand, was a bit
more of a diplomat.  He studied Roman war theory and wanted to create a worldwide power
grab in order to place every farm on equal footing.  If all had what Animal Farm had, he
figured, there would be no need for fighting.  Ironically, when the attack does come,
Napoleon is in hiding while Snowball leads the charge.  Napoleon does end up using force
to keep the farm; but, ironically, he uses it against his fellow
animals.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
