Mollie:The Unfaithful Comrade

Late Tuesday night, the pigeons reported that after doing their daily flying, they witnessed Mollie standing outside a pub in town with Pilkington and his men, also spotted were her infamous ribbons which were braided delicately through her much coveted white-blond mane. It’s been common knowledge that Mollie was not working as much as she was expected to and she finally abandoned all of us on the farm.



We all remember that first night, when our beloved leader of this rebellion, dear Old Major, was sharing with us his electrifying dream and Mollie made a comment stating how she was worried about the availability of sugar cubes and ribbons while our farm is going under the great revolution. We have all dismissed these half-thought out questions, thinking that Mollie was simply young, and wet behind the ears, but they have continued comrades, and came to the point where it was hard to ignore her whinnies complaining about all the work that was expected of her. Thankfully, our leader, the great Napoleon was able to deflect the situation, and explain to Mollie that these things that she thinks of as “necessities” are completely superfluous and excessive for the simple lives that the animals should be leading.



Mollie was the one who dragged Mr. Jones’ trap, was used to the constant pampering she was accustomed with from the days of Manor Farm. After Mr. Jones was expelled from the farm however, Mollie had to become quickly familiarized with the fact that the days of getting ribbons braided into her mane were over.


Over the past couple of weeks, Mollie’s unhappiness and unwillingness to work has become noted by all of us on the farm. We’ve all witnessed her watching others do the work on the windmill, or on the fields. When confronted with the question of why she was never on task, she would respond by saying that she either has a rock in her hoof, or a pounding headache (sugar withdrawals).



It was reported by a very reliable source, our dear old Clover, that Mollie was even caught at the drinking pool, instead of at work on the windmill and that on more than one occasion, Clover found Mollie at the border of our farm and Pilkington’s, partaking in conversation with one of the stable hands. After this, piles of sugar and ribbons were found in her stall. Three days later, our ex-comrade was discovered missing. Weeks later came the sighting of her at the pub with a calm smile on her face, which begs the question, was she wiser than the rest of us to keep what made her happy? After recent events, most of us on the farm would be sensible to follow her lead.

The Inspiring Life of Boxer the Faithful

Boxer is a very promising horse. He is first introduced as an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. Although not of first-rate intelligence. Unthinkingly Boxer accepts what he is told.

He is the only male horse on the farm. He is very reliable and loyal to his “Comrades”. His motto’s are “I will work harder” and “ Napoleon is always right.” He was one of Napoleon’s greatest supporters, until after the “Battle of the Windmill”, Napoleon sends him to be slaughtered for profit. The pigs use the money from the slaughter to buy themselves a case of whisky. After the windmill is destroyed in the Battle of the Windmill, Boxer makes it his one remaining goal to have a new windmill under way before he retires.

The only time Boxer doubts propaganda is when Squealer tries to rewrite the story of Snowball’s valor at the Battle of the Cowshed, a “treachery” for which he is nearly executed. Boxer never means no harm to anyone or anything, as shown when everyone including himself , thought that he had killed the man during the Battle of Cowshed. He felt remorseful in this doing. Also Boxer did obtain an award after the Battle for Cowshed. Snowball and Boxer both receive a “Animal Hero, First Class.”

characters in this novel are suppose to represent a part or person during and after the 1917 Russian revolution. As an allegorical figure, Boxer is meant to stand for the Russian proletariat, the powerful but often simple-minded working class.

The 7 Commandments and the Truth Behind Them

Although it seems like the commandments are very unfair they were once actually fair and realistic. We have uncovered the truth behind the confusing and disputed 7 commandments of animal farm. We have found documents from snowball that have the original commandments.

The original commandments seem to actually be affected by the pigs in power who changed them to there own advantage. Some of the original commandments were: All animals are equal, and no animal shall drink alcohol. As we know now they were changed no animals shall drink alcohol to excess, and all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. The pigs changed the alcohol rule after they realized they enjoyed the drinking. Also the all animals are equal rule was changed when the pigs realized they could get more power if they were more equal then the other pigs.

These shocking changes were not exposed earlier because the pigs used manipulation to trick the animals. Sadly, the animals though that the commandments had always been this way, so they worked harder for the gain of the pigs. Another commandment that was changed was no animal shall sleep in a bed. This commandment was made because the original animals thought that this was too much of a human like activity. The commandment was changed to no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets. The pigs changed this because they wanted to be in a position in power and have luxuries like a bed. They lied to the animals again and changed the commandment. This was just another example of the tyranny insured by the pigs.

Some other commandments that were installed in the beginning that were also changed, like whatever goes on 2 legs is the enemy. The pigs then went on two legs toward the end of the book to look like they were in power. The pigs used many things to manipulate the animals and change the 7 commandments of the original animal farm. The recent exposure of the original commandments has caused unrest in the animal farm community and around the world.
