Comparison between North Korea Prime Minister,Lee Kuan Yew and Napoleon

The first question that you will ask is who is the Prime Minister of North Korea??

And the answer is Kim Yong Il.



What ways are the similar??

Well,they are similar in many ways,such as their attitudes,personality,the way they speak and how they behave and gain the "respect of the commoners".



Their Jobs



He appoints ministers and vice-premiers, who are confirmed by the SPA, and he is also responsible for economic policy like how Napoleon appoints Squealer to be his "propaganda machine...



Their Medical Conditions



Prime Minister Taro Aso told lawmakers in Tokyo that his government had information that Kim likely remains hospitalized."His condition is not so good. However, I don't think he is totally incapable of making decisions," Aso said.The head of South Korea's National Intelligence Service, Kim Sung-ho, told lawmakers in Seoul that the North Korean leader is "not physically perfect" but appears to remain in command.South Korean and U.S. officials say Kim, 66, suffered a stroke, reportedly in August. North Korea has strenuously denied there is anything wrong him.

While Napoleon in the story of Animal Farm drank too much whiskey and thus causing the animals to think that he had fallen sick and was going to die but in actual fact,he was only too drunk that he could not wake up .



Their attitudes



Kim disappeared from public sight in mid-August, missing a September military parade commemorating the 60th anniversary of the country's founding and sparking rumors about his health.Kim, who inherited his country's leadership after his father's death in 1994, has allowed no opposition and has named no known successors, leading to concerns of a power vacuum or military scramble for leadership should he die.Mercurial and reclusive, Kim has been known to stay out of public sight when tensions over North Korea's nuclear program are high.He disappeared around the time the regime stopped disabling a reprocessing plant at Yongbyon in violation of a disarmament-for-aid deal over Washington's refusal to remove it from a list of nations that sponsor terrorism.



In the story of Animal Farm,Napoleon also excuses himself from amny major events such as the Battle of the Cowshed where he is secretly training the Dogs to be his secret ageb]nts and police as he works stealthily behind the scenes where no one notices.

Lee Kuan Yew is something like Snowball,in which he tries to convince the crowd of an action and also,he is eloquent and is able to gain the people's respect.This is done by him doing a lot of activities and actions to help Singapore and the economy.He has so far been a great leader and has done lots of good things to help Singapore.



The way they communicate with the commoners

Both of them are secretive,reclusive and are selfish that they do not give their opinions themselves,but instead send a messenger to help them "translate" the message to the commoners or the animals in the story of Animal Farm.They are both not eloquent but
they do things for their own selfish gains although it looks as if it is for the common good...

Lee Kuan Yew is the exact opposite of him as he does everything(so far) for the good of the Singaporeans,such as the capture of Mas Selamat and also the amount of money he has put into the economy to try and make it rise.he does all these actions so that we,can lead a better life...



The way they gain respect among the commoners

They gain respect and popularity by giving out threats to South Korea to stop activists from sending balloons filled with anti-Kim leaflets across the border. The South Korean government says it cannot prohibit them, citing freedom of speech.The North also criticized remarks earlier this month by South Korea's Gen. Kim Tae-young, who told parliament that the military was prepared to attack suspected nuclear sites if the North tries to use its atomic weapons on the South.



While in Animal Farm,Napoleon gains respect by using force against the animals such as the dogs wagging their tails while seating around him and by the fact that Napoleon asks the dogs to chase away Snowball.The dogs are also taught to bark and threaten the animals wnat they want to stand up and voice out their opinions and speak for themselves.This shows that he is trying to inculcate an atmosphere and a feeling of fear in to the animals' hearts so that they would not have the bravery and courage to stand up for what they think is right..



Thank You.

  1. I think a very important similarity between Kim and Napoleon is that they are both Communist, and that they both do not abide to the principles of communism. Both Kim and Napoleon live in luxury when their people are facing a chronic food shortage.
