Boxer tried his best to rebuild the windmill owning to he is to old to work as before, even he was deeply injured during the previous battle. On the other side, Napoleon was trying his best to build up his personality cult.

“Meanwhile life was hard. The winter was a cold as the last one had been, and food was even shorter.” With Squealer’s words “that made all the difference”, comparing with the days under Jones, even though nowadays the life was harsh and bare.

Above the surface, there were more freedom than before; under the surface, they had none exactly rights as the original idea of ANIMAL FARM described. Such as the electing a President, however, there was only one candidate who got a lot of power.

“Indeed, all the animals worked like slaves that year” For Boxer, what he want to do most is to see the new windmill, so he continued work without thinking of his old age. Finally, he fell down. When Napoleon got this news, he decided to send him to the “hospital”. Ironically, the words on the van which took Boxer to the “hospital” were “'Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler, Willingdon. Dealer in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied” which means to death. Right, the pigs sold Boxer to butchers. And one day, the pigs from somewhere acquired the money to buy themselves another case of whisky. Poor Boxer, his life was not as worthy as those drinks.
