How Stories Effect the Survial of Characters( revised version)

"Either you master the story or the story masters you.", this quote rings true in Animal Farm by George Orwell. Animal Farm by George Orwell in 1956 in England about the Russian rule at the time man named Stalin when (in all reality) a much nicer man named Trotsky was supposed to take over. In Animal Farm the way the characters master stories has a strong connection on how they survive in the story.
Characters who master the story can survive longer than those who can't die sooner. One who mastered the story in Animal Farm was Squealer. One way he mastered the story is that he always backed up Napoleons stories with "facts" ( these of course were made up facts ). Then there were times when he used he eloquence in speech to get the other animals to believe his "facts". First of all, he mastered a story when the milk was to be mixed in with the pigs slop. He said that the pigs needed the slop ( apples and milk to survive). He even told the other animals that the pigs need the milk and apples to survive and that it's for the good of the farm. Another time he mastered the story is when he lied about the hens little rebellion. He lied to the other animals and said that the hens died naturally of a horrible disease. Then he made up a disease called "coccidiliosis". Regardless of all of the lies he had spread you would think that he would have had a bad ending but actually in the end he turned out to be a powerful character that was thriving.
Now on the other hand Boxer was mastered by the story. He was mastered by the story becasuse he believed the lies that Napoleon made up. For example when Squealer and Napoleon made up the lie about how the chickens died he never questioned him once. He also was mastered by the story when Napoleon made it a nesscesity to have the mill built. He encouraged Napoleons rise to power futher when not only agreeing to help build the mill but also maiking up the motto "I will work harder". Yet another time he was mastered by the story was when he made up the motto "Napoleons always right". He made up this motto when Napoleon began to spread hislies. He encouraged this motto when Napoleon was lying about Snowball, at first Boxer didn't believe it, but that was when it was coming from Squealer. The second he heard that the rumors about why Snowball dissappered were from Napoleon he automatically believed them.
Yet another character in the story that could master a story was Napoleon. He mastered many stories by blaming the farms misfortunes on Snowball. He did this by convincing the other animals that Snowball for the destruction of the mill. Then he even blamed missing food on Snowball, he took food to make it look like there was some missing. He mastered the story yet again when Snowball got chased out. He said that Snowball was staying at a neighboring farm and that he was trading with humans. He also said that Snowball was on Jones side and that he wanted to put a stop to Animal Farm. But even if Napoleon did lie to the other animals he still ended up to be the most powerful animals at the farm because of his ability to master a story.
In Animal Farm, the ability to survive depends completely on how the characters master stories. (This is obviously true). Squealer was able to master a story and ended up thriving. Boxer couldn't and he died. Napoleon could and ended up the most powerful animal on the farm. Obviously stories hold an effect on people: " Either you master the story or the story masters you". Whether someone masters the story is a personal decision. ( and it will always remain that way.
