The book Animal Farm is a very interesting and funny book.The author was a man named George Orwell.The book was published in 1945. The overall meaning of the book is the more you believe in stories blindly you might not survive.In Animal Farm the way the characters respond to the stories has a strong connection to their ability to survive.
Squealer is one of the many characters in the story who masters the stories.First when the pigs slept in the bed.Squealer had convinced them that wasn't the case instead he said"the pigs should have an equal place to work in".He also put the matter in a different perspective by telling the other animals that they could sleep in the bed without sheets.Second when Boxer had died.Squealer had lied and said that he dies a nice peaceful death.But really they took him somewhere and turned him in to glue.Finally one last story he mastered was the windmill story. He told the other animals that he never opposed the windmill idea.He also went along with Napoleon saying that Snowball knocked down the windmill.Squealers fate was that he survives but starts to act and dress like a human.
One of the characters that gets mastered by the story is Boxer.First because Boxer was behind Napoleon no matter what he did. When they were talking about how the Battle of the Cowshed and how didn't want Mr.Jones back.When Boxer thought it over he said if Napoleon says its he must be right,"Napoleon is always right".He always thought that since Napoleon said it was Snowball knocked down the windmill he went with Napoleon and said he did it.He also thought the windmill idea was Napoleon's idea all along.Lastly another reason why Boxer got mastered by the story was because listens and absorbed very thing he heard.When the pigs slept in the bed Boxer said once again said "Napoleon's always right".Also when he listened to Squealer about the bed rules.And how never steps up to the plate when they were talking about the beds instead he just absorbs it like noting happen.Boxer fate is he dies because the made him into glue also because her was dying of old age.
One last character that doesn't really get mastered by the story is Benjamin.First when the animals were debating the windmill.Benjamin never really took the side of Snowball or Napoleon.Also when Benjamin said"windmill or no windmill life would still go on which is badly".And also when every agreed with Napoleon that Snowball knocked down the windmill he was the only one who didn't say anything.Second when the commandment got twisted up by Squealer.Benjamin never said the sleeping in the bed with sheet was the real commandment or not. Also he never really disagreed to Squealers response to what he said about the pigs sleeping in the bed.Lastly because of Boxer death.He was one of the animals that could read he never got mastered in what Squealer had said about him dieing peacefully. Also when Napoleon told the so called hospital to come get Boxer Benjamin never was really fond of the whole idea.
When the characters respond to the stories it shows a big part of their ability to survive. Squealer was the one who told the stories that were mostly lies.Boxer was the animal that believed everything.And Benjamin was the one who didn't get mastered at all. I think that this connects to the real world because there is always people telling the lies.There are people that are dumb enough to believe the lies. And some people who just don't care and don't get caught up in lies.

Very strong first draft Jordan. Your first body paragraph is excellent.
For revision:
Most of your yellow sentences start with "when" (after the transition). That means they're dependent clauses and shouldn't stand alone. Try turning those into complex sentences by adding an independent clause.
Your first body paragraph is missing a quote.
Your second body paragraph is a little confusing. What's the difference between your two yellows? It might be better to use three yellows - one for each time Boxer believed a story.
Your third paragraph is strong, but it doesn't quite make sense when you say that Benjamin never disagreed with Squealer. You want to find some evidence of him seeing through Squealer's stories. That paragraph also needs a conclusion sentence.
Good work!
