Biography of Boxer
In the novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell, Boxer was looked upon as a respected, powerful character. Boxer was a hard worker and Animal Farm’s most valuable and dedicated laborer. He was the strongest animal on the entire farm and would always step up to any situation. Boxer demonstrated this immense strength at the Battle of the Cowshed, when Mr. Jones and his men came back to try and regain control of the farm. The battle began very intense and Boxer became upset when he thought he killed a stable boy when he had actually only put him in shock. He was awarded Animal Hero, First class for his efforts. When the drama between Napoleon and Snowball arose, lots of rumors started going around the farm, mostly started from the pigs. Boxer would try and defend Snowball from the rumors and that affected the pigs view on him. Boxer became hesitant of what the pigs were actually doing and was starting to figure out what had actually happened. The pig’s denied the truth and convinced the gullible Boxer that snowball was the “bad guy” all along. This is when Boxer took on the motto “Napoleon is always right.” This may have solved the problem temporarily on Boxer’s side, but the pigs now viewed him as a threat and he began to be one of the main targets for the Great Purge. However, Boxer could easily defend himself from the vicious dogs because he was much stronger. After that, Napoleon realized he didn’t have all of the power on the farm, that someone was actually stronger and more capable than him. He would have done anything to get rid of Boxer. In the Battle of the Windmill, he again fought with determination, breaking the heads of three men with his hooves. However, he left the battle field injured, but did not stop working because he wanted to continue to contribute to the production of the windmill. Boxer continued to be extremely devoted to the farm and literally worked until he dropped. One day, the overworking on top of having an injury led him to collapse and he could not pick himself back up. Boxer could have possibly been saved by being rushed to a hospital, but instead, Napoleon makes the final decision. Napoleon used this opportunity to get rid of the powerful Boxer for good. He sold Boxer to a slaughter house to get chopped up and made into glue. Napoleon then used the money to go buy alcohol and other items, which both were against The Seven Commandments. Squealer, one of them main pigs, informed everyone that Boxer was immediately rushed to the hospital and died in peace. Two of his main mottoes that he recited to himself on the daily were “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right”. They eventually led to his downfall because he was blinded by what Napoleon’s real intentions were. Napoleon only cared about his rising power and would stop anything in his way, and in this case, Boxer was his target. Also, Boxer’s love for animal farm contributed to his downfall by literally working until his body could not take it anymore. Boxer truly did deserve a better ending because he was good hearted and always devoted to the farm.

Short Story: The Animals Take Over
After a night out drinking with Mr. Jones, we parted ways. He was grumbling about the chores of feeding his animals and providing them with care. The animals seemed like such a hassle to him. I guess it was no surprise that in the next couple of months everything about Mr. Jones’ farm would change. I never would’ve expected that Mr. Jones would show up at my door pleading for help. A few months after that night, Mr. Jones came to my farmhouse with quite an unbelievable story. I didn’t believe it myself, at first, when he told me his own animals rebelled against him and took over his farm. Mr. Jones was quite hurt. I saw that his arms were limp and his head was wounded as he explained to me the horrific details. The fact that some helpless farm animals were so organized to start a rebellion was beyond my understanding. He started explaining his crazy story, “I simply walked outside that morning to go check on the animals and suddenly they started going insane. They were kicking, running, and making unbearable noises. I was scared out of my mind and didn’t know what to do because these animals were out of control. Then they all turned towards me and I knew what was next. I immediately turned around and tried sprinting away as fast as I could. I wasn’t fast enough. Some animals were on my feet and some had already gotten ahold of me. I had somehow managed to shake them off me, but the pain I went through to get here was unbearable. My wife thankfully managed to escape through the back door, so she got through it all okay. I don’t know what I’m ever going to do now." After he told me the story I had a completely different view on everything. I let him and his wife stay with me for a while they tried to figure themselves out. Meanwhile, I tried to figure out my own problems by making sure my animals and I were at peace. Making sure everybody was equal and treated with respect became a frequent focus at my farm.

Poem: I Dreamed a Dream
I dreamed a dream that one day/ The hooves and paws will be held/ In friendship around the barrels of hay/ And the evil of the humans will expelled.//

With Mr. Jones and his ambitious power/ You and your children will all suffer./ Our rebellion will bloom like a flower/ And our population will grow up tougher.//

You, my comrades/ Filled with inspiration,/ The pigs, the ducks, the calves,/ Will one day rule a great nation.//

Everyone shall be treated equal,/ Four legs are better and two legs worse./ One day our farm will be peaceful,/ We will break free of this curse.//
