Chapter 9: Boxer’s Demise
1. Do you think Boxer was taken to the vet in
Willingdon? Be sure to use evidence from the text to
support your answer.
2. Write your own eulogy for Boxer. Include what really
happened (as opposed to what Napoleon and
Squealer say happened).
Example : Michael had lived an amazing life even though it was
rather short. Michael was a great friend; he was the kind of friend
that stands by you when you need somebody to be there. He
once saved my life. We were both young kids then and we
weren’t very close. I was hastily walking across the street when
Michael saw a speeding car. If it wasn’t for Michael, I would have
died right there. That’s how I became close to Michael. Yes, that
was 10 years ago and we’ve been inseparable ever since.
Your Eulogy needs to be 3 short paragraphs. Use a transition to
start your second and third paragraphs.
