Clover did not like this and kept saying Boxer was working too hard and he will overwork his self and die, however Boxer would not listen to her.

Boxer’s motto became ‘I will work harder’ and he even woke up earlier than the other animals to do what he thought was right. Clover and Boxer were working the hardest, they were the carthorses, and Boxer thought he had to work especially hard because he was the strongest.

The animals thought it was alright, because they were working for themselves and not for the humans anymore. The pigs forced every animal to work, even on Saturdays and after a while even on Sunday in the afternoon. She felt worse by the day and one day she ran away to the human world, where she was happy again. Mollie, who was a proud horse, had difficulties with the ‘animalism’, because she was not allowed to wear ribbons anymore. The animals were looking forward to a new era, an era where animals were in charge of themselves and the humans where not. But the pigs took advantage of their positions and they immediately took the milk that the other animals were not allowed to drink. They forced every animal to work and they instructed the animals in the Seven Commandments of ‘animalism’. The pigs Snowball and Napoleon found themselves the best leaders so they took charge of everything. The animals renamed the farm into ‘Animal Farm’. Jones had been out all day and forgot to feed the animals, this was what they had been waiting for and they took over the farm from Mr. A few days later Major dies in his sleep and the pigs, who are the smartest animals on the farm, are preparing the other animals for the big day of the rebellion. All the animals are listening carefully to Major when he tells them about ‘animalism’, a society where every animal is equal and Major teaches the other animals a song called ‘The Beasts of England’, which is about England ruled by animals. Major, an old, wise boar, is telling the other animals on Manor Farm about a rebellion, which will happen some day.

Jones is drunk all the time and the animals are not being treated well. Jones is the farmer on Manor Farm, he is not a very good farmer and he is mistreating his animals. This is a story based on the Russian Revolution, the characters are different and it is written in another time, but there are many parallels between them.
