The first character is Squeal the Story Twisting Pig. He always lie to cover up the truth. For example, Squealer lied about the windmill. He said Snowball knocked it down the windmill. What really happened a storm came in knocked it down. Another lie he made up was about Boxer's death. Squealer said, Boxer went to the hospital and died. But really, Boxer had got sick, so they sold him to the Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler. Lastly, he lied about the commandments. The story clearly states on page 43 the forth commandment says," No animal shall sleep in a bed." But clever Squealer said, everything you lay on a considered a bed and the bed don't have sheets. In conclusion clever Squealer not only survive he turn into a human and is rich and power.
Another character is Boxer the Believer. Boxer believes everything everyone says. For example, on page 84 and 85 says," Squealer made excellent speeches on the joy service and the dignity of labour, but the other animals found more inspiration in Boxer's strength and his never-failing cry of "I will work harder!" This shows that Boxer believes that Squealer is his master and he needs to obey everything Squealer says. Also, Boxer believed that Snowball knocks the windmill down. But what really happened was that storm knocking it down. Lastly, Squealer and Napoleon told him when he got sick he wouldn't have to work. But, Boxer believed him and continued and when Boxer's was hurt real bad they send him to the glue maker. In conclusion, Boxer the Believer got sold to Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler and got killed.
The last character is Benjamin the obstinate and smart donkey. He stayed to himself but he never believed anything anybody said. For example, Boxer's death. He tried to tell the animals that the truck that Boxer got in was a Horse Slaughterer. But when Squealer told the animals a different story everyone believed Squealer side instead of Benjamin. Another thing Benjamin didn't believe is the commandments. Because Squealer tried to twist a commandment 4 by saying that u can sleep on a bed without sheets and Benjamin was the only one to understand what the wall said. Lastly, Benjamin didn't agree on the debate of Snowball and Napoleon about building the windmill. For example,on page 65 it says, "Benjamin was the only animal who did not side with either fraction."So that meant that he didn't really care about there plans. In the end Benjamin survives but he still work.
In conclusion, the ability to survive on Animal Farm depends on the ability to manipulate or see through stories. Squealer in the end was rich and powerful. Boxer ending was morose and sad because he died. Lastly, Benjamin ending was better than Boxer because he survived, but, he still had to work. This story and many other stories have a powerful ending, so, citizens and others should be aware of how they interpreted or take in these stories.

Great organization. Great first sentence. I like how you gave each character a title. It makes your point very clear.
For revision: Make sure you state the title of the book early on in the intro paragraph. Write your conclusion! Also, read this essay outloud to someone in order to catch some smaller errors.
