    Sure, Boxer was seen as strong and worthy of praise while he was well and healthy but he soon failed at doing so. Later on in the allegory Boxer got very ill and unable to work anymore. This was caused by his conformity to Napoleon’s idea of working harder. Boxer often lived by the motto, “Napoleon is never wrong”, which put him in a sticky situation. During his time of being sick, he was sent away by Napoleon to a factory to be made into glue, which Napoleon profited from later on in the novel where it was told that he and the pigs enjoyed cases of whiskey they bought with “mysterious” money.…

    In the story, when Boxer thought he had killed a stable-lad, he remorsefully said: “I have no wish to take life, not even human life,” Even though the pigs stated that all the humans were bad, Boxer was sad when one of the farmers got injured in the battle. This shows that the pigs made all the decisions and that the animals did not always believe what the pigs wanted them to believe. This is allegorical because many of the Working Class men treated the Bolsheviks as the ultimate leader and thought that they were right all the time, so they did not have to think for themselves, just like how Boxer followed the pigs’ words even though he felt a different way.…

    In chapter two, they have just overthrown Mr. Jones and the pigs reveal to the other animals that they have taught themselves how to read, and Snowball replaces the words on the sign “Manor Farm” on the front gate with the words “Animal Farm.” Snowball and Napoleon, having reduced the principles of Animalism to seven key commandments, paint these commandments on the side of the big barn. When it becomes apparent that many of the animals are unable to memorize the Seven Commandments, Snowball reduces the principles to one essential maxim, which he says contains the heart of Animalism: “Four legs good, two legs bad.” The animals accept the maxim without argument, and the sheep begin to chant it at random times, mindlessly, as if it were a song. A few days after the bloody executions, the animals discover that the commandment reading “No animal shall kill any other animal” now reads: “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.” As with the previous revisions of commandments, the animals blame the apparent change on their faulty memories—they must have…

He had been a hard worker even in Jones's time" (17) said the narrator. The narrator states that Boxer was being admired by everyone on the farm no matter what time of the day or year.

    In the book it reads that “Three days later it was announced that he had died in the hospital at Willingdon, in spite of receiving every attention a horse could have. Squealer came to announce the news to the others. He had, he said, been present during Boxer’s last hours...Some of the animals had noticed that the van which took Boxer away was marked ‘Horse Slaughterer,’ and had actually jumped to the conclusion that Boxer was being sent to the knacker’s” (Orwell 124/125). Squealer made up a story that Boxer was in a great care, but in reality, he was sent to be killed. He was sent to the glue factory/horse slaughterer! Squealer did not let the animals believe the truth. The media can cover up things that the government does not want out. They can even distract us with other not-so-important things. We must be careful of their reports to help ourselves.…
