Chapter 9
Period 4
Summary: The food begins to get more scarce but when Napolean has kids he demands the farm to have a school built for them. Boxer collapses one day and later dies. After his death Napolean gives a nice speech about him.
Quotation: "I will work harder" (126)
Quotation Significance: This is one of the Boxer's favorite quotes and Napolean talked about them in his speech. This quote really does define Boxer because he is always working very hard and really determined.
Reflection: This chapter shows two different sides of Naploean, one being the side we know which is mean and selfish, but we also learn that he has some sort of caring in him after his speech about Boxer. I'm sad that Boxer died because he was a really hard worker. He showed a lot of strength after he got attacked and he came back and still worked on the farm. Its weird when I noticed that there was only one chapter left in the book. I think that there will be something at the end in chapter ten that has to do with Snowball coming back.
Discussion Question: How do the animal's feelings change about Napolean after his speech?

ReplyDeleteI was sad when Boxer died, but I guess that is what Orwell is saying we should feel for the people who are duped by the communist system.
