Animal Farm Quotes

“The time had been when a few kicks from Boxer's hoofs would have smashed the van to matchwood. But alas! His strength had left him; and in a few moments the sound of drumming hoofs grew fainter and died away.” This quote is explaining that boxer is getting sold. This does not connect to Roosevelt's quote because boxer is a very hard worker on the farm and he is very loyal to Napoleon and then at the end of the book he is

He was always hardworking and very loyal animalism and worked his hardest to make animal farm better. Boxer had always taken pride in his work, he woke up earlier than any other animal and was always the last to go to bed and despite his declining health from old age and an injury from his brave contributions to the animal

Napoleon being the leader, he had to take responsibility of Boxers sickness and handle it. Once the time came for Boxer, the pigs announce that they will arrange to help Boxer to recuperate and gain his health back, but when a carrier arrives and Benjamin the donkey realizes that Boxer is no longer in his stall, Benjamin reads the writing on the van’s side doors and announces that Boxer is being sent to ”Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler, Willingdon. Dealer in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied.” When chaos broke out among the animals after finding out Boxer is being sent to a slaughterhouse, Napoleon had convinced them that the van had previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out bringing the animals to a relief.

Here Old Major tells the animals about a rebellion that will occur sometime in the future where the animals will overpower the humans to take over the farm. Soon after the meeting Old Major died, leading the animals to start a rebellion. Napoleon and Snowball, two of the pigs, became prominent figures in the rebellion. “Snowball and Napoleon, whom Mr. Jones was breeding up for sale. Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way.

Before Napoleon was in power Snowball was in power. Throughout most of the book both pigs showed exponential knowledge and intelligence. Napoleon however managed to overthrow Snowball by using his intelligence to take the pups, train them, then have them chase Snowball off of the farm and manipulate the animals into believing that Snowball was a traitor. In Page 44 on the Animal Farm PDF it quotes; “Napoleon stood up and, casting a peculiar sidelong look at Snowball, uttered a high-pitched

Even though it is good that Boxer is devoted to the farm, he sometimes can go over the limit, " I have no wish to take life, not even human life, repeated Boxer, and his eyes were full of tears." (p.14) this shows that Boxer cares about his mistakes and is faithful even towards the enemy. Furthermore, this also illustrates that Boxer is devoted to the farm but he believes that he went overboard. Boxer likes to stick with what he has for instance, "His two slogans 'I will work harder' and 'Napoleon is always right' seemed to him a sufficient answer to all his problems."

This quote proves Boxers exceptional loyalty, and importance he would have on the farm. Although Boxer was important to Animal Farm, his voice was rarely accepted. While Squealer was persistently being dishonest to convince the animals

The windmill is first brought to everyone 's attention by Snowball, who researches on how to build one and draws out the plans. While this occurs, Napoleon slowly takes full control over the farm by eliminating Snowball. The pigs try to make Snowball look guilty and they want the working animals to dislike Snowball at all costs. "Napoleon had never been opposed to the windmill, on the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning," said

He makes the animals think that everything he says is true, he likes to take charge of everything. For example, Napoleon trains a litter of puppies to be loyal to him: when they are fully grown, he uses the dogs to chase Snowball, his main rival, off the farm. After Napoleon's dogs chase a snowball he makes a manipulating speech, “He announced that from now on the Sunday morning Meetings would come to an end. They were unnecessary, he said, and wasted time. In the future, all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs, presided over by himself.

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.

First, “... “If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” And from then on adopted the maxim, “Napoleon is always right,” (18). Boxer is a loyal animal that whoever his master is he will accept it and not start a fuss. Uniquely Boxer is different by this trait of loyalty which defines him because once Napoleon became the new leader he accepted it and kept on working hard. In like manner, “After his hoof had healed up, Boxer worked harder than ever.

As Napoleon is in a meeting with the animals, discussing how the windmill got destroyed, Napoleon asks, “Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!’ he suddenly roared in a voice of thunder”. (pg 69-70) This evidence is illustrating how Napoleon is using his manipulative propaganda to shift the blame for their troubles, straight to Napoleon.

Furthermore, Napoleon gives the other animals the impression he was the sole leader of the rebellion on Animal farm and makes Snowball -a leader who wanted what was best for the animals- seem like an enemy who was in cahoots with Farmer Jones since long before the animals took over the farm. Napoleon and Squealer (another “fat cat” pig.) always put the blame on Snowball whenever something went wrong in the farm to avoid having the blame fall on them. Napoleon is an exemplary example of just how selfish and hypocritical people can be in furthering their own aims because he continued to subtly but purposely change the seven rules put in place as the pillars of animalism. For example, Napoleon and the other pigs move into Farmer Jones’s house and sleep in his bed after commanding “No animal shall sleep in a bed”, so he changes the commandment to read “no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets”.

He left after the revolution of the animals that Old Major begin. When he died, they begin the rebellion. When the farm was now for the animals, the pigs took the control of it. Napoleon begin to be in competition with Snowball, because he had a lot of idea, others liked him and he was the pig that decided the most.

He tricks the other animals that that was always the original rule. In the end, the animals catch Napoleon with other farmers, talking to them, they hear him say that Animal Farm is no longer called Animal Farm, but it is now the original name, Manor Farm. Which shows that Napoleon is really doing the work of a human being. Him and the other pigs prove to be deceiving the other animals for their own
