Ok!.!.!. I think most of them don't have much meaning but here I go!.!.!.

Mr!. Jones - Orwell's neighbour was called Mr!. Jones and he didn't like him very much!.

Napoleon - Napoleon represented Stalin!. Stalin was similar to Napoleon Bonaparte of France!. Napoleon Bonaparte was seen as a hero of the revolution and soon became in power in France during the French Revolution!. Napoleon was a dictator, but like Stalin was well welcomed by the citizens!.

Snowball - Napoleon was a pig that is dark in color!. Snowball (note: snow) but mean that Snowball was somewhat light in color!. In symbolism, light usually represents "good" while dark (Napoleon) represents "evil"!.

Boxer - able to endure hardship and pain, like a boxer!. Not a quitter!.

Squealer - squeal is a sound that is used to represent the communication of pigs!. In other words, Squealer represented the pigs in communication (propaganda)!.

I read Animal Farm for fun!. I think that school essays can take away the enjoyment about of reading something!. I did not think of Animal Farm in literary alliterations but I would assume that Napoleon might refer to the leader and Snowball might refer to something that falls down and crashes and rolls and Squealer might allude to a complainer!. I hope my answer helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
