Ms. Melville rough draft for Animal Farm

In "Animal Farm" the way character's respond to the stories has a stong impact on their ability to survive. The first character by the name of squealer is the one who twists stories. A perfect example is the issue with the beds, he say's "you have heard then, comrades" he said "that we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse? And why not? You did not suppose , surley, that there was ever a ruling against beds? a bed , properly regarded. The thing was that it was not allowed for the animals to sleep in the beds because it was against the rules. Another issue was the incident when the milk and apples were stolen. The pigs had stole them. The story was that they needed it to do brain work. The last story was about boxer's death. Squealer told everyone that he was sold, and that he had died in the hospital. Since Squealer twist stories so much he became rich and powerful becuase he able to master the stories.

Benjamin on the other hand does not get wrapped up in the dabates and stories. The reason for this is becuase he does not believe everything he is told. Since he is older he does not believe it all because he know's better. When the windmill is wrecked everyone ecspecially Napolean blames snowball who is no longer on the farm, except Benjamin becuase from his point of view it would have been impossible for a little pig to damage the windmill. The story about Boxer's death is unbelievable to Benjamin. The reason for this is that he heard that Boxer was at the hospital and died their. Since Benjamin was able to read he was able to read the sign on the wagon on which was actually taking Boxer to the slaughter house, which means that he did not believe the story being told about boxer's death. Benjamin is able to survive because he does not believe everything that he is told.

Boxer is one of the animals who believes all stories. One of the stories is the animals were killed. He questioned it when squealer questioned and pursuaded them that the story of the animals being killed true. Boxer also thought that Napolean was always right. Boxer figured that since he was now in charge and since Snowball wasn't there to tell him the truth he figured Napolean was alway's telling the truth. In the end Boxer dies he his sent to the sluaghter house.
