What other names are given to Napoleon in chapter 8? What do these titles suggest about his character?

Napoleon is called by all sorts of names that make him
sound really good.  The book lists some of them.  Here is the quote where you can find
some of these names.

He was always referred to in formal style as
‘our Leader, Comrade Napoleon,’ and this pigs liked to invent for him such titles as
Father of All Animals, Terror of Mankind, Protector of the Sheep-fold, Ducklings'
Friend, and the like



To me,
what this shows is that Napoleon is totally drunk on his own power.  He is starting to
try to put together a "cult of personality" where the whole society is based on revering
him.


So he must have a huge ego and he must really want
everyone to think that he is the next thing to a god.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
