How Animals Were Affected By Changes On The Farm

Animal Farm begins on Manor Farm, where overworked, tired, and hungry animals are unhappy in the conditions that they are in, but when an old boar named Old Major introduces the idea of a rebellion and encourages the animals to take control over the farm, the animals begin an uprising against the humans, taking control over the land and renaming the farm “Animal Farm.” However, greedy and corrupt leaders rise to power and turn a once prosperous farm, into a nightmare. In Animal Farm, George Orwell asserts the idea that absolute power results in corruption. Napoleon and the other pigs, interested in remaining superior, persuades the other animals by using intimidation and emotional appeals in order to keep control of the gullible animals.

Another example of Boxer’s strong personality in times of hardship is the night in which the executions of the animals that admitted to having been deceitful to their fellow comrades by taking Snowball’s side took place and Boxer stated that to overcome the faults amongst the farm’s animals, he was going to work harder.

As soon as the revolution starts, Boxer is more devoted than ever to the farm. At the Battle of the Cowshed, Boxer is trying to prove his loyalty to the farm by defending the animals against a stable boy with kicking him with his hoof. “I will work harder.”(Orwell 25)The quote reveals his hard work and devotion to other animals and the farm. Though Boxer is very strong, he is also very naïve. The pigs bossed him around, being blindly loyal to Napoleon. “Napoleon is always right”(Orwell 48) When he says this, it demonstrates that he does not understand that the pigs are using him. He believes that everything Napoleon says is just. While others are trying to learn how to read Boxer does not feel the need he only wants to work harder for the good of the animal farm. Unfortunately, at the end of the book, he is so worn down that he cannot work anymore, so the pigs make the decision to send him to be slaughtered. At this point Boxer realizes that pigs have used him and was not loyal to the animals like he was. Boxer represents the Russian working-class in the Soviet

Boxer is a very important animal at the animal farm who takes the weight of the problems and puts them on himself and always claims he will work harder. Boxer, the workhorse on the farm, has always worked hard and pushes himself to be better, and to do more. This made all the animals look up to him, more than their actual leader at times. He takes responsibilities that are not even his and excels. Animal Farm by George Orwell shows the many ways the Boxer is an important virtue to the farm and to his friends.

Old Major, a prize-winning boar, gathers the animals of the Manor Farm for a meeting in the big barn. He tells them of a dream he has had in which all animals live together with no human beings to oppress or control them. He tells the animals that they must work toward such a paradise and teaches them a song called “Beasts of England,” in which his dream vision is lyrically described. The animals greet Major’s vision with great enthusiasm. When he dies only three nights after the meeting, three younger pigs, Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer formulate his main principles into a philosophy called Animalism. Late one

Since the beginning of mankind, we have become dependent on animal products as a food source. As population increased, so did the production of animal agriculture and its profitability. Unfortunately, it has grown into an industry that is unsustainable for this planet and is demolishing our environment at an astonishing rate. In the academic article, ‘Cowspiracy’ Strips the Meat Industry Down to the Bone, Ford reports the shocking statistic that “even if all utilities were turned off and every fossil-fuel-guzzling system of transportation ceased immediately, environmental damage that results from greenhouse gases would be irreversible…even with humanity’s greatest efforts, the dairy and meat industries will still eventually destroy life on Earth”. As the environment is at its most crucial and devastating point, the major contribution that animal agriculture has on rainforest deforestation, pollution of our water, and global warming becomes undeniable.

He starts off, just working a little harder and getting up only 20 minutes early than the rest of the farm, before his passing, he is rising a whole hour before and staying up hours later than the other animals. We get so drawn to his passion for the farm and working hard towards the windmill because these are noble and just actions. George Orwell then has him finally collapse from overworking and later the exterminators show up to seal the deal on his passing away. This loss of Boxer shows us how communism can affect those we love by hurting them, taking them away from us and using all of their time, or even killing

a. Orwell’s “Animal Farm” is an allegory due to the usage of the concept of animals on a farm, which is usually a lighthearted subject, being used to reflect the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917. The events in the story also reflect on the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. In the beginning of the story, the Major, whom is an old middle white boar, encourages the other animals to start a rebellion. He wanted to kick out the owner of the farm, Mr. Jones, so that animals may instead rule the farm. “Why then do we continue in this miserable

Boxer is a character that contributes a lot to the success of animal farm. He is the one that at first helped the farm with his muscles and his motto ‘’I will work harder’’, because the muscles of Boxer and the cleverness of the pigs was the solution to all problems at the beginning (p.11). Boxer is, in jones’s times, strong as two horses. But, after the rebellion he is considered strong as three horses (p.11). However, his low capacity mind didn’t evolve in the story. He is always following blindly the orders of his leaders. At the beginning he follows Napoleon and snowball. But after Napoleon’s dictatorship begins, He follows Napoleon. Boxer is following Napoleon so blindly that he even made another motto that is ‘’Napoleon is always right’’.

He had been a hard worker even in Jones’s time, but now he seemed more like three horses than one;there were days when the entire work of the farm seemed to rest on his mighty shoulders. From morning to night he was pushing and pulling, always at the spot where the work was hardest. He had made an arrangement with one of the cockerels to call him in the morning half an hour earlier than anyone else, and would put in some volunteer labour at whatever seemed to be most needed, before the regular day’s work began. His answer to every problem, every setback, was “I will work harder”-- which he had adopted as his personal motto.” (46-47) Boxer continues to work harder and harder despite Mr. Jones is gone.

Boxer is the farm’s main contributor, whether it was everyday work or working on the windmill project. The windmill represents the big projects the Soviet Union conducts while Russia’s working class builds the windmill. He works the hardest on the farm; he even has mottos for when he works “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right”. Before the rein of Napoleon, Mr. Jones, who is Tsar Nicholas II, made the animals work hard and gave them just enough food for survival and Napoleon did the same. This relates to how Stalin treats his subjects. Boxer’s motto “Napoleon is always right” shows his loyalty to Napoleon, even though he changes the commandments and relates to how Stalin forces Russians to believe he is right through the use of propaganda. Joseph Stalin treats the working class poorly and forces them to believe life is better when it is just as bad as it was when Mr. Jones was in control.

The Downfall of Manor Farm George Bernard said, “Power does not corrupt man, fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.” Orwell explains Russia’s difficult time with the Soviet Union by using pigs to represent the leaders and other farm animals to represent the followers; also known as the working class. Napoleon and Mr. Jones are the lazy and manipulative leaders and Boxer is the strong and hard working follower. Throughout the novel Animal Farm, George Orwell shows how freedom and equality can be corrupted due to the actions of people in a society. Mr. Jones is the owner of Manor Farm that does not care for his animals.

“The UN along with other agencies reported that not only did livestock play a major role in global warming, it is also the leading cause of resource consumption and environmental degradation destroying the planet today.” (Andersen & Kuhn, 2014). It is important, then, to consider the effects of animal agriculture on the environment. This essay will argue that animal agriculture is harmful to the environment in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, water- and land use, and that policies in the form of subsidizing plant foods, altering the Canada Food Guide, and creating plant based nutrition coaching and support groups should be enacted to solve these problems. The first section of this paper will outline scholarly literature on the effects of animal agriculture on the environment. This paper will then discuss why a plant based diet is also suitable for optimal health. Finally, this essay will conclude with an overview of the various social policies that must be executed to solve these environmental issues.

Benjamin on the other hand, is the farm donkey. He's cantankerous and ill-tempered, cynical, and the oldest animal on the farm. He refuses to take a position on the revolution and is entirely unaffected by the patriotic fervor the other animals. He simply continues on working at the same pace he always has, staying out of politics, not commenting even when the pigs start changing the rules.

Early in the story, Boxer shows a blind faith in Napoleon. “And from then on he adopted the maximum, ‘Napoleon is always right,’ in addition to his private motto of ‘I will work harder,’” (56). These sayings Boxer adopted are a very clear showing of his devotion to Napoleon and working hard on the farm. When things continually get tougher around the farm, Boxer starts getting up earlier and earlier to get a head start on the days work. “He had made arrangements with the cockerel to call him three-quarters of an hour earlier in the mornings instead of half an hour,” (61). Waking up earlier each time there is a setback is one of the best examples of Boxer’s dedication to work. These things not only contribute to the making of Boxer’s role in the story, but also contribute to the influence Boxer on the
