Old Major encourages all the animals on the farm to rebel against human’s he uses his speech which he is excellent at to get people on his side.
Old Major tells us about a song called Beasts Of England which they soon get to learn and love and they sing it at the end of his speech.
Old Major thought a lot about others and not just himself. He was thinking for the best and future of other animals. Old Major realised that life probably wasn’t going to get better unless he lived his dream and make it reality. He decided he would try and give them hope to live the best life possible.
Old Major dream certainly didn’t go very far with snowball and Napoleon always arguing together about silly things.
The Arguments between these two continued the whole way through the book until Snowball was chased out of the farm by Napoleons trick which was the dogs to chase him out. It just wasn’t these two who broke the rules to live Old Major dream The other’s did to. The Animals wrote commandments.
Here are some of the commandments that were broken.
Old Major Dream Certainly Didn’t work out because of mainly the pigs and Napoleon. This was the root of the problem the animals didn’t like the privileges they were getting. These caused the downfall of Old Major’s Dream.
Boxer was an enormous beast. He was said to be eighteen hands high and as strong as two horses put together. The white stripe down his face gives him a stupid appearance.
Boxer was passionate about animal farm and so loyal because he is fighting for his farm. Boxer is also sad, regretful kind respectful and responsible. This was because his tremendous muscles always pulled them through. Boxer was the admiration of everybody. He had been a hard worker even in Jones time but now he seemed more like three horses in one. There were days when the entire work of the farm seemed to rest upon his mighty shoulders.
Napoleon accused boxer of being one of snowball agents but boxer did not seem to see anything wrong he did not understand. Boxer respected Napoleon and decided he would work harder. Each time he works for he is killing himself. Boxer is passionate because he is so loyal he is also fighting for his farm. He is sad regretful, kind, respectful. He said “I have no wish to take life , not even human life repeated Boxer and his eyes were all full of tears.
When boxer was working he hurt his hoof but still he worked on he did not realise that Napoleon was just using him to get the windmill finished and for Napoleon to live a happier life. When his hoof healed up he decided to work harder yet again. The thing boxer did not realise that each time he work harder he also lost weight because Napoleon was buying food but he was buying alcohol for himself. His great hunches also shrunk. The other animals said he would pick up and become strong once again but they were wrong. Boxer had mottos, which make him work harder than before. One of which is “ I will work harder” Another is “ Napoleon Is Always Right” Boxer used these mottos to help him self along.
One evening Boxer went out to drag a stone up the hill. When pulling it the stone fell on it’s side and so did Boxer. Boxer was so weak from having little food that he couldn’t get up again. A Couple of birds seen Boxer and raced back to get the others they all ran as fast as they could to get Boxer. When they got there Boxer couldn’t get up and a trickle of blood came out his mouth from his lung. Boxer was so determined to get the windmill finished that he said “ you can finish the windmill without me”. Napoleon sent squealer up to tell Boxer and the others that Napoleon was really worried and sent his deepest distress. Squealer also said that Napoleon was organising Boxer to be taken to a hospital. The animals were not too happy at this but had to go with it. When the hospital workers came to pick up Boxer. Benjamin seen that on the side of the van it said Slaughter. The animals tried to warn Boxer but he was too weak to kick the door down. Napoleon tried to cover this up by saying that the van used to be owned by the slaughter. But this was not true. Napoleon did this to get money from the slaughters. Napoleon did not care about the others. Orwell makes us feel real sorrow for Boxer as Napoleon Doesn’t really care for Boxer. Squeeler was told to say by Napoleon “ My Deepest distress of this misfortune to one of the most loyal workers.” This is not true Napoleon would have came up if he cared.
This Coursework now shows how the animals struggled through their lives with there three different leaders. The animals had a difficult life leading through death hatred and starvation. It also shows that during the Russian Revolution Life was hell with the leaders killing each other.
These two animals show what we try to do in life. Orwell tried to show us what was happening in the Russian Revolution. The Russian leaders were just interested in themselves and having a wonderful life while the Russian Citizens were living a life of terror. The Russian Leaders did not even care really about them. This is what Orwell tried to show us.
