After reading this whole book and observing more about Clover, I feel that Clover is a very gentle and kind horse, she also has a very motherly figure in the farm. Clover is also very caring and loving.
Whenever I think of Clover, the first thing that comes into my mind is her being caring and concerned for Boxer's health and the other animals on the farm, so I think Clover uphold the value, Showing Care and Concern. She also lives a healthy and gracious lifestyle.
To me Clover examplifies this because as shown in the book, Chapter 1, Clover made a sort of wall around the ducklings that had lost their mother, giving them comfort and letting them nestle down inside it.
When Boxer had fallen on his side at the windmill, she stayed with him and she was somehow the first one to get to him and asked him how he was. Also, she had instructed the animals to go and get Squealer.
Another incident when Boxer was suffering from a split hoof and still continued working, she kept urging Boxer to lessen his work load as she was concerned for his health. Even though he would not listen to her, she would still help him treat the wound with poultices of herbs and by chewing it.
Clover seems to care about Boxer a lot and cares for mostly everyone in the farm. By doing this, Clover is also practising good habits, setting a good example to the other animals and living a gracious lifestyle. She is a good role model and I think we should learn to adopt the same habit and behaviour she has, showing care and concern to others.
