Animal Farm: Themes and Concepts

In Chapter 3 of Animal Farm, the animals work hard to achieve a successful harvest, with the pigs leading and organizing the efforts. Boxer, the horse, is particularly dedicated, adopting the motto 'I will work harder.' The animals establish Sunday rituals and form committees to improve literacy, though these efforts have mixed results. Snowball simplifies the commandments to 'Four legs good, two legs bad,' while Napoleon focuses on educating the young.
