Costa’s Levels of Inquiry: Martian Chronicles and Animal Farm Level 1 of Inquiry:
1. Define the term “Rocket Summer”.
The term “Rocket Summer” refers to the few moments that occurred when “Zeus I” took off on a long journey to Mars. During those few minutes, winter in Ohio instantly transforms into a summer paradise: all the snow melts, icicles fall to the ground, and the children take off their coats. When the rocket leaves, it paints a multicolor, beautiful portrait in the sky.
2. Describe some different features of Ylla and Mr. Yll’s lovely home on Mars.
There are blue phosphorus paintings in the speaking room, the floors of her house were cool, running streams, triangular doors,

The majority of the animals left on the farm possess the least amount of authority, although Boxer is respected the most among the animals for his work ethic.
5. Compare and contrast Napoleon and Snowball? How were they different as leaders?
Napoleon was seen by the rest of the animals as a force to be reckoned with; he was most certainly a dictator and was very narcissistic and self-centered. Additionally, he brain washed his supporters to obey his every command. On the contrary, Snowball understood the responsibilities that come with great power and was ready to accept them. He always made decisions based on what he thought would benefit the farm. Level 3 of Inquiry
6. Imagine that Boxer was the leader of the farm instead of Napoleon, what things would he do differently?
Boxer would definitely be a compassionate leader who would make sure that everyone possessed equal rights and everybody did a fair share of work. He would carefully listen to all of the farm’s needs and would go to extreme lengths to provide them; he would be appreciated and praised by the entire farm. The farm would thrive and prosper under the commanding rule of Boxer, while it most probably crumble under Napoleon’s
Boxer is a fictional horse in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, which is a satire of the Russian Revolution. Many characters allude to different groups or important people from this era, and this applies to Boxer as well. Boxer is a representation of the working class because of his qualities, personality, his role in the novel and his motto. Orwell expresses much criticism towards the character of Boxer because he lets Napoleon think for him.
By now the responder clearly realises that the strong relationship between Boxer and Napoleon is obviously a negative one. It saddens the responder and invites their empathy to find Boxer to be so oblivious to what is going on around him and at the same time his level of incomprehension creates a feeling of slight frustration in a sympathetic type of sense. A strong feeling of dislike is formed towards Napoleon as he so easily controls Boxer, forcing him to do such tough, punishing labour as he is aware that Boxer is extremely loyal to his superiors and happily prepared to complete all set tasks. Boxer and the other animals fall victim to the pigs’ cunning ways, but besides the easily convinced sheep and Boxer, the other animals are aware of this but are too frightened or cowardly to put a stop to it, for fear of being accused of treachery and then executed.
Napoleon knew the animals wouldn't take that the former leader was gone so Napoleon made the animals think that Snowball was a bad person and had been spying for Farmer Jones. Now Napoleon is in charge, he is changing all the rules and breaking them. Napoleon stays in charge of the animal farm through his use of ideology, fear, and propaganda. Napoleon stayed in charge because of fear Document C “Jones Would Come Back’ tells us about how Napoleon uses fear to give the
Napoleon stated that he will educate the puppies, and help build the windmill to make life easier in the farm, made the animals think that Napoleon is a hard worker and always right. He uses that advantage to create dictatorship within the farm. By having the support of the pigs by his side, he is able to convince the community that is always right. By creating propaganda of praise by the animals, he becomes a symbol of hope to the community. When Boxer stated Napoleon is always right, so did the rest of the animals since Boxer was seen as a symbol of strength for the
When there is an obstacle preventing the realization of ones ideals, one must undergo a personal change to remove this obstacle, this is shown best through the characterization of Napoleon. Napoleon near the beginning of his personal arc would best be described as soft-spoken and strategic. To add on to this he was comfortable sharing his authority with Snowball. At the beginning of the revolution Napoleon had trust and faith in Snowball’s leading capabilities and saw him as an asset to the realization of his ideals. This faith and trust in Snowball was near its peak at the first revolution and directly afterwards, he knew the only way Animal Farm would have become independent of Mr. Jones would be if he had the assistance of Snowball. Napoleon
Boxer: A male cart-horse who is really strong and works extra hard. He trusts whatever Napoleon says and follows his orders no matter what.
Animal Farm is a prime example of devotion and the loyalty that is vital for success. Boxer is a selfless hard-working horse that displays genuine loyalty to the rebellion willing to do anything for the better of his newfound family. Boxer adopts a new personal motto of “I will work harder” static from the beginning of the novel to his death (murder). Boxer is unwavering in his devotion. Even when the windmill is destroyed and it is time for Boxer’s long waited retirement he continues to strive forward and push his body to the max showing loyalty to Napoleon time and time again, reflecting his other motto “Napoleon is always right”. The point of view used throughout the novel is third person omniscient. This allows for an overall
In George Orwell's allegorical novel Animal farm, animals are used to represent people and groups in the Russian revolution. The horse Boxer represented the peasants. Furthermore, Boxer is a very important character to the story. The farm would have not survived without Boxer. Boxer helped the farm tremendously with his hard work,trusting nature, and honesty.
When reading a book about an evil pig that takes over a farm, one would assume it is unarguably the most important character, but in Animal Farm a hard-working horse named Boxer gives good reason to doubt this assumption. Boxer was a very big, strong horse whose strength was equal to the strength of every other animal on the farm combined. Boxer was not the brightest and couldn’t even learn the alphabet beyond the letter D. Two of the only things Boxer could remember were his sayings, “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right.” Boxer had high influence over the farm animals. This seemed to make Napoleon feel threatened, and eventually led to Boxer’s death. The three main reasons Boxer is such an important character are the role he plays on the farm, Napoleon being threatened by him, and how his betrayal seems like an alternative climax.
Boxer’s saying tells us that he is a hard worker who believes anything that Napoleon says because he believes that he is too dumb to think for himself. Boxer’s work ethic makes him the glue that keeps Animal Farm together, he is the implied leader. One could even describe his popularity as charisma caused by hard work.
Boxer is a very important animal at the animal farm who takes the weight of the problems and puts them on himself and always claims he will work harder. Boxer, the workhorse on the farm, has always worked hard and pushes himself to be better, and to do more. This made all the animals look up to him, more than their actual leader at times. He takes responsibilities that are not even his and excels. Animal Farm by George Orwell shows the many ways the Boxer is an important virtue to the farm and to his friends.
All things considered, Boxer is evidently a powerful character throughout the text, due to using all his indefatigable strength and might to complete his jobs on the farm. “Nothing could have been achieved without Boxer, whose strength seemed equal to that of all the rest of the animals put together” (20). This shows that Boxer is a powerful horse on the farm willing to put his energy on the line to make Animal Farm great. This also shows that without Boxer, the farm struggles to gain force and strength in their work and needs him to have
In Animal Farm Boxer is the loyal workhorse who never gives up, but he is so much more than that. His character is very interesting, and reveals a fascinating opinion about the character Boxer represents. Boxer is truly one of the best and most interesting characters in Animal Farm, as we look at his character throughout the novel we will study who he represents, his actions, and finally his speech. The character Boxer in Animal Farm represents none other than the Russian working class.
My character is Boxer. He is a cart horse who never hesitate to work. He is completely involved in his work and never stop until it is finish. During the construction of the first and the second windmills, he was the one who worked the most, and the one who did the best job. Good for him, his strength is incredible and his perseverance is always included. Every moment of the story, he trusts his leaders. He first trusted Snowball, and when Napoleon told the animals Snowball was a traitor, he started to trust Napoleon for everything, without any doubt. He first adopted the maxim ``I will work harder``, and soon he added the maxim ``Napoleon is always right`` (page 22). Unfortunately, he does not have a big intelligence and it is easy to influence
During the great struggle that had occurred in this great fable (or novel), many of animals had done a great deed of work. The animals had formed a rebellion (Soon later to be called the Battle of Cowshed) against their heartless and cruel human enemies. With the great knowledge of the pigs and the effort of the rest of the other animals, they had overthrown the humans and replenished the farm into a sufficient stable farm suitable for the animals. They had taken very good care of their farm. Yet out of all the creatures that had now inhabited the farm, only one creature stood out to be the hero (protagonist) of the story. It is Boxer who is the unsung hero of the farm.
