Boxer From Animal Farm

The adjective from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell that describes Boxer is strong. Strong is defined in Merriam-Webster OnLine as "having or marked by great physical power; having moral or intellectual power." On animal farm Boxer by himself gets up an hour earlier than the other animals, and stays a half-hour later than the other animals to work on the windmill project.Every time something bad happens on the windmill Boxer says, I will work harder, or Napoleon is always right. This inspires the other animals to work harder no matter how big they are to get more and more food every day. This shows that Boxer isn't just physically strong, but he is also stronger in character than most of the other animals. I am not saying Boxer was the brightest of the animals.He cannot remember more than the first four letters in the alphabet, but he is not put down or discouraged by Napoleon's antics. He shows strength of character. "Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly 18 hands high, a
s strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first rate intelligence, but he was universally accepted for his steadiness of character and tremendous powers of work." (26) This passage is so good, because it shows the respect from the other animals for Boxer's strength and character. His indefatigable work and his never-quit attitude earn great respect from the other animals. Single-handedly he leads the animals onward even when things seem hopeless. Strong is the adjective that best describes both Boxer's physical ability and his character.
