In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, the two characters, Napoleon and Boxer, show that Napoleon is the leader and Boxer is the victim. Napoleon is taking the rights, foods, and makes Boxer do hard work with less benefits. Boxer cannot say anything about this. The leader of the Animal Farm was Napoleon. At first, Napoleon kicked out Snowball out of the farm, then he started to take the milks and apples to himself, after that he started to break the farm rules (the seven commandments), for example: he started to trade with other humans, he started to break the equality of animals and he was taking all the power to the pigs, in chapter 10, he said “All animals are equal, but some animals are more than equal to the others.” This shows he broke …show more content…
Napoleon gained the power by kicking out Snowball and he tricked the other animals by saying Snowball is the spy of Mr. Jones, he kept the power to himself by taking the other animals rights and by using the advantage uneducated animals, he tricked the uneducated people by saying Mr. Jones will come back if you don’t do what I say. Napoleon’s goal was to take every single power to himself and the pigs and his other goal was to look like a leader and a human and sit with humans at the same table. Napoleon’s goal was succeeded, Napoleon was successful because he got everything he wanted, for example: In chapter 6, he traded with humans and he got the right …show more content…
Boxer always said “I will work harder.” Boxer always worked hard in any situation. In chapter 4, Boxer fought very hard during the Battle of the Cowshed. He saved Snowball during the battle and kicked out Mr. Jones from the farm again. Boxer worked very hard building the windmill, even though the windmill got destroyed a few times, but he didn’t give up and worked hard again and again. Boxer fought very hard during the fight against Mr. Frederick’s army. Boxer got injured during the fight, but still, he fought harder even though he had a wounded knee. When Boxer passed the age of retirement, he still didn’t retire and worked harder than anyone else. In chapter 9, he said he didn’t want to sit in a corner of the farm doing nothing, instead he worked hard. While building the third windmill, Boxer climbed in the windmill but suddenly fell down and a rock hit his head. But still, after that accident, he worked hard. One of his weaknesses was that he always said “Comrade Napoleon is always right.” Napoleon took the advantage of that and took away many rights from him, for example: Napoleon took most of the food for himself and pigs and cut most of the food for other animals. Napoleon said if animals don’t do the volunteer work, their food will be cut in half. Napoleon made Boxer work very hard during the windmill project. In spite of all of Boxer’s hard work and sacrifices, he still sent Boxer to the Knacker and killed him, after that he
Boxer: This animal contributed positively and negatively to the story. First, he was an example to the other animals because he worked hard. His first motto was “I will work harder”. He made the building of the windmill possible, and helped many animals to survive because there wasn’t enough food for everybody and Napoleon took a lot more food than the necessary for him. In addition, he protected some animals when the dogs attacked everybody, and Boxer stopped some by hitting one, and that made the killing of Napoleon stop (p. 32-33).
He has these traits and many more as he “was the admiration of everyone.” (pg. 18). This phrase tells us that Boxer puts in a huge amount of effort and dedication to his work, so much that he inspires all the animals around him. This is also evident when all the animals thought that “nothing could have been achieved without Boxer, whose strength seemed equal to that of all the rest of the animals put together.” (pg. 41).
In the book it proves that he is hardworking because it states, “Boxer’s split hoof took a long time in healing. They had started the rebuilding of the windmill the day after the victory celebrations ended. Boxer refused to take even a day off work.” (143, Orwell) This shows no matter how much he is in pain, he is always working to finish what he started.
If he were to lead an animal farm then he would not make any of the harsh rules. Boxer was a horse that was not very smart but he was kind. If you want your leader for the people, you want less jobs then you better have a nice leader. In chapter nine Boxer accidentally killed a human. He was very sad and said "I have no wish to take human life.
Who is most like Boxer? “I will always work harder”, this is not the mentality most people have, that 's why a fictional character in a book said it (Orwell 12). Although the character/horse named Boxer is unrealistic, the situation seems to have happened with a similar character. First, a similar character is visible during the Russian Revolution, a person during fighting against segregation, and now. Behind a great leader, there will always be the loyal follower who will do as they say no matter how crazy it sounds or how much effort and work it takes.
Animal Farm: How Does Napoleon Stay in charge? Power is used in multiple different ways, in this case it was not used in a positive way. Animals on Animal Farm had wanted to be free from their owner, farmer Jones. The pig, Napoleon, comes to power as a dictator since the pigs are more intellectual than the other animals. Napoleon stayed in power by using the methods of Animalism, Fear, and Propaganda.
Juliette Blalock Singh 4/5 Animal Farm In the satiric novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, the character Napoleon represents a dictator in society, who turns a self-governed and unbiased farm into his own. Napoleon initially unifies with the rest of the animal’s, but soon decides to take matters into his own hands and disposes of Snowball and his proposals towards the farm. He takes advantage of the vulnerable animals so he can become in command. Napoleon is clever, brutal, and dictatorial to the animals.
While the animals work to rebuild the windmill for the third time, no animal makes it harder than the boxer, a loyal horse. Even though Boxer
Don’t be the enemy. Now that Napoleon is in charge life is getting a whole lot worse because is has complete power of Animal Farm. Napoleon from Animal Farm written by Orwell maintains control by using ideology, propaganda, and fear. Napoleon uses ideology of Animalism to give him more control over the animals.
They have been told that after they are old and not able to work anymore, they would be take care of in their senility. But this does not happen with Boxer, just like it did not happen with the veterans and working class of Russia, under the regime of Stalin and Tsar Nicholas II. Boxer is almost 12 year old, so the time for him to retire is coming, but one month short of that, he falls and gets injured seriously, while working on the rebuilding of the Windmill. When Clover asks him what happened, Boxer
Boxer is similar to Russian peasant in some ways and also is different. He is a hard working character in the book. The peasants were meant to work hard with little to benefit. He was known to work more hours than the others on the farm. This shows that the peasants worked unnecessary hours without anything extra in return.
His pessimistic mindset is what holds him back. Maybe he thinks no one will believe him, or maybe he just truly doesn't care, either way he never spoke up and the pigs were never stopped. Boxers' determined, loyal mindset works positively for the physical being of the farm. No one works harder at building the windmill than Boxer, doing the work of 3 horses combined. His mindset has the adverse effect of making him care for the farm so much that he is unable to open his eyes to what is truly going on on the farm.
In the novel, Boxer portrays a hard-working attitude. To demonstrate, Boxer’s hard-working disposition during hardships pulls the animals through. “Boxer with his tremendous muscles always pulled them through...were days when the entire work of the farm seemed
,but the other animals found more inspiration in Boxer’s strength and his never failing cry of “I will work harder!”” (53). This quote represents how is is seen as a role model or idol on the farm because he never gives up and never quits even if he feels he can’t do his job. If Boxer thinks he did not try his best next time he tries to work harder as mentioned in his motto. This is why he is looked up to and admired , for his overall greatness in doing his ability to prime conditions.
Boxer is an old brave horse
