Eulogy Assignment for Boxer
Animal Farm: After Chapter 9
A eulogy is a speech given at a funeral, usually by someone who knew the person well. The
person giving the eulogy mentions funny, sad, or important moments in the deceased person’s life, or
perhaps the impact he or she had on everyone. The goal is to remember the person fondly, even if he or
she was not perfect. (None of us are!)
Your assignment is to write a one-page eulogy for Boxer. You must write it from Napoleon,
Squealer, Clover or Benjamin’s point of view. Mention what you loved or liked about Boxer, despite his
shortcomings. Use the questions below to guide your eulogy:
1) Was Boxer someone to be admired, criticized or both? Why?
2) What can we all learn/take from Boxer and his work ethic?
3) If Boxer could, what would he say should be the next step for the animals on the farm? Or,
Based on what happened to Boxer, call the other animals to action in some way.
