What is another (more interesting) way of saying "creating a leader myth and personality cult"?The topic refers to Napoleon's "job" in Animal Farm....

I would suggest that you could say something like
"appointing himself God."  I have heard people say to one another "who died and made you
God" or words to that effect and I think that this would go well with what Napoleon is
doing in this book.


In the book, he really is setting
himself up as something of a god.  Everything he does is automatically right -- he is
the perfect being.  In addition, he is all-powerful.  Anything that he says must be
done.  The other animals are supposed to look up to him.  They are supposed to call him
by titles just as people often call God by titles.  Napoleon becomes like a god to the
other animals.


So I think that, instead of saying that
Napoleon is creating a leader myth and personality cult, you could say that he is
"appointing himself 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) ...
