How can I write a hook for comparing and contrasting Napoleon and Mr. Jones?

When determining a hook for an essay or article, there are one of many ways to choose from. Some people like to use shocking or dramatic statements to catch a reader's attention. Others like to use impressive quotes from the author that lead right to the thesis statement. And many people like to use a thought-provoking question that grasps the reader's attention by asking him/her to think deeply about the topic before introducing the thesis statement. Any of these strategies are good, but what might be best in a compare/contrast essay is a "would you rather" type of question.
Since the essay will compare the leadership of the farm before and after the revolution, the writer might want to get the reader to think about which leader is better to live under. For example, some would argue that life was better under Mr. Jones rather than Napoleon, because at least the animals were fed and cared for. Under Napoleon's rule, he manipulated and lied to his fellow animals to the point of complete disrespect, starvation, and, ultimately, death. Thus, a good thought-provoking question would ask the reader to consider how he or she would like living under each leader. Asking the hook's question in a "would you rather" framework would be fun and interesting, too. However, if your essay calls for not using the second person "you," then reframe it to fit the assignment. Here are a couple of examples:

Would you rather live under a dictator who is not of your breed or race, but feeds you three meals a day and works you very hard, or serve a dictator of your own race who manipulates you, beats you, kills your friends, and works you even harder each day?
Would it be better to work for a dictator who yells and screams each day, and is tough on his workers, but feeds them every day and keeps them safe and warm; or work for a dictator who promises better working conditions and food, and claims to understand the plight of the workers, but winds up beating, manipulating, and killing the workers to keep control of his leadership position?

You can shape the hook to suit your needs for the thesis and essay to follow, but either way, the above format helps to provide both sides of the Mr. Jones and Napoleon debate, while also applying a fun game at the same time.
