Christine K. Boxer reminds me of the Stakhanovites, who were hard working factory workers. While he is still an unintelligent animal (representing the lower working class), he works harder than the rest and also achieves more than the rest. Moreover, he is very happy with working in the farm saying, "I will try harder." Also, this quote talks about how his strength equaled that of all the rest of the animals put together, and I thought that this was very similar to the case of the coal miner, Alexei Stakhanov, who was able to "instead of the normal 7 tonnes of coal, he extracted 102 tonnes in a single shift" (12).
