af rough draft

Animal farm is a story that features many animals and there fates in life.In the story, overworked, beaten,neglected,starving animals rise up against there cruel masters but later find out that things maybe weren't as bad as they seemed.In animal farm the way the animals respond to stories has a strong connection to their ability to survive.
The pigs are the ones who twist the stories.One example is that squealer twisted the story of why the pigs need the milk and apples.He said that they need them to stay healthy.He also said they needed them unless they wanted Jones to come back.Another example is when Napoleon twisted the story of what happened to the windmill. In the story he says "Do you know the enemy who has come at night and overthrown the windmill.SNOWBALL!!!!".he also persuaded them to believe it by offering a full bushel to the one who captures snowball.Also the pigs twist a story when Squealer twist the story of why napoleon is dieing.He said snowball poisoned him.Also said an animal confessed to helping him do it.The pigs in the end become the leader and right hand man.
Boxer is the one who believes everything he hears.Has a saying that makes him look like he believes what he hears.he lives by this and it is his moto, It is "napoleon is always right".Another example is when he works hard because he is told it will help them complete the windmill.he worked with a broken hoof. He also worked in his old age until he collapsed one day.One more example is when he believes that the pigs are going to take care of him.Is relaxing and enjoying retirement.He also shows no sign of doubt in his leaders.Boxer winds up being sold to a horse slaughter and killed.
Then theres Benjamen who doesn't totally believe what he hears.First off he didn't believe that the truck was going to the hospital.In the story he says "no its a horse slaughter truck!".He also wasn't sure about it at first.Another example of him not believing what he hears is when he was told that snowball destroyed the windmill.He thought it was knocked down by the storm .He also said it wasn't possible for one pig to knock it down.Also he didn't believe that snowball poisoned napoleon.He knew that the pigs had bin drinking.Also he knew that he would be fine.In the end he is a lower class animal.
In animal farm the way animals answer to stories effects there ability to live or die.The pigs twist stories and become great.Boxer was a loyal listener and died.Benjamen doesn't believe what he is told and lives.This story shows people what happens when your a leader,a follower, and a non believing person.
