487 Words2 Pages

“I will word harder” is a saying a horse named boxer told everyone every day, until one day he could not. Boxer represents the working class in the novella named, Animal Farm, written by George Orwell. In the novella, this horse is constantly working and will do anything in order to get his job complete. Boxer represents the working class in the russian revolution by having Mr. Jones nor the pigs never noticing how much effort he puts in; and by the way he expresses his “never give up” type working to help him get through the day. Boxer the horse is a very strong and independent animal, but definitely does not get the treatment he should by the leaders. Boxer completes more work than any other animal on the farm and should have a better life than he does. He definitely is treated extremely peasant-like and no one really cares nor notices. Due to his major daily hardworking job, he barely has any free time to relax.

Boxer is fed very poorly and very rarely. He is treated just like a peasant from the Russian Revolution. Still, no one is worried until he is really gone and they have to start to work in order to take his place to keep the farm all in
