In 'The Donkey,' Chesterton describes how the donkey is looked upon by people. Look at the word used for the donkey 'The devil's walking parody' and 'The tattered outlaw of the earth'. All the word choices combine emphasizes how Chesterton wanted the reader to fully understand that the donkey was an unpleasant creature. Though in the last stanza, the donkey has his laugh, 'Fools! For I also had my hour' (Line 13). Although, the donkey is a mixed breed, he was loved and chosen by the one person who has the greatest power- Jesus."
