who are the main characters in the novel? do you like them? why or why not? what is special about them? what do they reveal about the universal human experience?
There are many characters in animal farm. Mr. Jones is the original owner of Animal farm and I dislike like Mr. Jones, because the book does not tell the readers specifically about Mr. Jones, but through out all the complains from the animals, readers can find out that Mr. Jones was not a good and caring farm man. At first, he was a responsible farmer, but after he started drinking, he became careless about the animals in the farm. “Kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery, and made his way up to bed.”
I do not like Mr. Jones, because he does not do his job and he is not diligent.
On other hand, Boxer is a very steady and positive character in the Animal Farm. The book describes him, “A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first-rate intelligence, but he was universally respected for his steadiness of character and tremendous powers of work.” His motto in the book is, “I will try harder,” and “Napoleon is always right.” I like Boxer, because he is diligent and he is an exemplary animal for other animals in the Animal Farm. One thing I do not like about Boxer is that he does not fight against injustice. Even though he had physical strength and power to stop Napoleon from going crazy, he did not. I wish he had more courage to stand up against others.
