One way Napoleon took control of Animal Farm was by Ideology. By using Ideology to take control, he used the Seven Commandments. The Seven Commandments were seven rules that the animals had to live by. The Seven Commandments were reduced to two legs good, four legs bad. After seeing Squealer lying in the

Boxer has a very important allegorical meaning in the book Animal Farm, as he represents the workers and laborers during the Russian Revolution. In the book, Boxer is a very strong horse, who is stronger than everyone else on the farm. Despite having immense strength, he lacks knowledge and often cannot think straight. This can be seen in the quote, “Napoleon is always right”. The idea that Boxer has developed is incorrect, as it states that everything Napoleon says or does, is justified. Due to this, Napoleon is able to kick Snowball out of the farm. Boxer has no idea of how his physical ability is being used and continues to exhibit his kind and hard-working attributes, as can be seen in the quote, “I will work harder”. This quote implies

Because Boxer is the most powerful strength wise, and is an important asset on the farm. Napoleon is the main leader, and everyone follows him “but the other animals found more inspiration in Boxer’s strength and his never-failing cry of ‘I will work harder,’”(Orwell 74). Boxer was the workhorse who would stay up late to work on their projects and was the most demanding horse. When the animals were maintaining to the crops, Boxer was the one who would put the most effort in. The animals on the farm trusted Boxer because they all knew that he would be the one who will do his best and support them with anything. When Napoleon was accusing Snowball for being against the Animal Farm, Boxer stood up and told against it. Snowball was living at a different farm at the time and yet Boxer was still standing up for him as if he were at his side. Without Boxer, the farm would not have their work done on time and successful. There would be no one who would be confident to stand up

After the revolution, Manor Farm was renamed to Animal Farm and the Seven Commandments of animalism were established to ensure equality. The pigs became the supervisors of the farm. However, the rivalry between two pigs Snowball and Napoleon made Napoleon use force. Napoleon ordered his dogs to chase out Snowball from the farm in order to become the only leader. Napoleon’s selfishness and corrupt power made him commit different atrocities against his own comrades. As a result, the lives of the animals except for the pigs and dogs were of tyranny and inequality. Napoleon became worse than their former human master. The animals spent the rest of his life almost starving and working in the construction of the windmill that was destroyed several times. The abolishment of Sunday morning meetings, the public execution of animals, and the drinking of alcohol were the most important changes that facilitated the transformation of animal farm, and Napoleon as the most responsible for the downfall of the utopian vision of Animal Farm.

It is the middle of Summer when Boxer, a horse, and Benjamin, a donkey were freed from their human oppressors on Manor farm, or commonly known as Animal Farm. Napoleon, who is the farm’s “President” is a pig, which all pigs are smarter than the other animals (and Napoleon is the smartest pig out of all the pigs, which makes him the leader). Animal Farm is a book written by George Orwell. Boxer, who has a big role in this book, is the main topic of this essay. Boxer has a big role on this farm because of all his actions. Boxer is a hard worker, and his main motto is “I shall work harder,” (Orwell #29) showing that he is a big helper on the farm. He supports “Comrade Napoleon”, which makes him loyal to Napoleon, and he is overall a great animal to have around a farm because of how hard he works and how his personality is.

Three animals in the book 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell are like three teachers who work at Trinity Lutheran School. Boxer is a horse with amazing strength and loyalty to Comrade Napoleon. In the book he works hard for the good of the farm, and sets standards for himself. He asks the rooster to wake him up an hour early to support the creation of the windmill, holds the stones up when the other animals' strength fails, and always follows the words of Comrade Napoleon. He is loyal and kind to all the animals on the farm, and shows them a good example to follow.

The Propaganda and manipulating the facts to control the animals was unfair. Napoleon is in control of every animal on the animal farm. He declared the pigs should run the farm since they were the most intelligent. The other animals never even had a chance to even have a say on who should be in control of the animal farm. Napoleon and the other pigs came up with the seven commandments (on page 43.) but through the novel the pigs slowly took away the rules and in the end was left with one revised law, “all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” (page 133) He twisted the rules to the benefits of the pigs and the other animals on the farm blind sided on what was really happening to them. Boxer worked extremely hard on

Though many of the characters in Animal Farm impacted the outcome of the novel, Napoleon's impact seems to have risen above any of the other characters. Napoleon is the boar who originally lead the communist party on Animal Farm alongside Snowball but later led Snowball off the farm and became the sole ruler and dictator of the animals. Napoleon kept the animals working through propaganda and fear, caused the animals to over exert themselves, manipulated the other animals, and took all of the power for himself in a government that was supposed to be run by the people. Napoleon’s use of propaganda and the fear that he instilled in the animals on the farm impacted the story by keeping the animals from seeing that he was mistreating them and

As the author adds various events the animals seem to follow along the ideas of Napoleon. Heis taking over the farm quickly without a suspicion from the other animals. His ideas and promises were always stolen from another or never worked out, yet the other animals never figured out how bad Napoleon is. For he is worse than Jones ever was but with a convincing outlook no other animals could remember the past correctly. When problems came up it was Napoleon who decided what was best.

Napoleon takes control of Animal farm after the revolution against the farmer, and he takes control of the farm through propaganda. He throws out his only rival for power, Snowball. After Snowball is removed Napoleon gains absolute power over everyone and everything on the farm. Napoleon gradually becomes more and more corrupt as time wears on. He becomes so corrupt he invites other farmers and they all get into a fight like humans would “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it is impossible to say which was

The animal farm is ruled by a pig named Napoleon. He is portrays a ruthless dictator who betrays the trust of all the animals on the animal farm. His rule is threatened by a horse named boxer. Why? Well, because Boxer is a strong, hardworking, honorable horse, who always says “I will work harder”.

The animals are told that Snowball is a criminal and that Napoleon is the better leader, some of the animals protest but are told different by Napoleon. When Napoleon’s leadership is questioned, the animals are manipulated by the fear of Mr. Jones returning. They soon believe that with Napoleon as leader they will be safe from Mr. Jones returning. The animals do not realize that Napoleon slowly transforms into a clear image of Mr. Jones. Napoleon changes each of the commandments to make his own life better than the others, the animals know the commandments are changed but decided not to question Napoleon’s leadership because they are taught that Napoleon is always

Napoleon announced that the “farm would engage in trade… in order to obtain certain materials” (Orwell 44). Many animals were thrown off by this announcement, but they kept working hard. Boxer, the hardest worker on the farm, endlessly over worked himself. He was easily influenced into thinking Napoleon is right because he did not want to undermine him. The harder he worked, the better he was treated. This is why Boxer represents “the working class” in the novel (LitCharts). He demonstrates strength and the ability to never give up even when something is wrong. Boxer can be described as another way to manipulate the animals.

Napoleon the tyrannical pig in the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, was capable of staying in control of Animal farm by using ideology, fear, and propaganda. The first reason Napoleon maintained his leadership of Animal Farm was because his use of ideology “a system of beliefs that can be used to manipulate others” (“Animal Farm: How Does Napoleon Stay in Charge?”). Napoleon used The Seven Commandments to first inspire, then manipulate the citizens of Animal Farm. Throughout the novel Napoleon modified The Seven Commandments, near the introduction commandment was “All animals are equal” (Ch 2). Near the conclusion of the story this commandment had been adjusted to, “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others” (Ch
