动物庄园英文版读后感
动物庄园英文版读后感Animal Farm: A ReflectionAnimal Farm, written by George Orwell, is a thought-provoking and powerful allegorical novel that offers a scathing critique of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Stalinism. The story is set on a farm where the animals, led by the pigs, overthrow their human owner and establish a society based on the principles of equality and solidarity. However, as the pigs consolidate their power, they become increasingly corrupt and oppressive, mirroring the actions of the Soviet leadership under Stalin.One of the most striking aspects of Animal Farm is its portrayal of the manipulation of language and propaganda. The pigs, particularly the clever and manipulative Squealer, use propaganda to control the other animals and justifytheir increasingly tyrannical behavior. They distort the truth, rewrite history, and use slogans and catchphrases tomanipulate the animals into accepting their rule. This manipulation of language serves as a chilling reminder of the power of propaganda and the dangers of unquestioningly accepting the words of those in authority.The novel also explores the nature of power and the corrupting influence it can have on individuals and institutions. The pigs, who initially espouse theprinciples of equality and fraternity, are gradually corrupted by their newfound power. They become increasingly authoritarian, exploiting the other animals for their own gain and betraying the principles they once claimed to uphold. This transformation serves as a stark warning about the corrupting influence of power and the dangers of unchecked authority.Furthermore, Animal Farm raises important questions about the nature of revolution and the potential for revolutions to be co-opted by new forms of oppression. The animals' initial rebellion against their human owner is driven by a desire for freedom and equality, yet their revolution ultimately leads to a new form of tyranny underthe pigs' rule. This serves as a powerful critique of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Stalinism, highlighting the ways in which revolutions can be derailed and perverted by those who seek to exploit them for their own ends.In addition, Animal Farm offers a searing critique of the cult of personality and the dangers of blind loyalty to a charismatic leader. The character of Napoleon, the ruthless and power-hungry pig who emerges as the leader of the farm, is a clear allegory for Stalin. ThroughNapoleon's actions, Orwell highlights the dangers of placing blind faith in a charismatic leader and the potential for such leaders to abuse their power and betray the principles they claim to uphold.Finally, Animal Farm serves as a stark warning about the dangers of apathy and complacency in the face of oppression. The other animals, with a few notable exceptions, are largely passive and indifferent to thepigs' increasingly tyrannical behavior. Their failure to challenge the pigs' authority and hold them to accountallows the corruption and oppression to continue unchecked. This serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need to resist the erosion of freedom and equality.In conclusion, Animal Farm is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a powerful critique of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Stalinism. Through its portrayal of the manipulation of language and propaganda, the corrupting influence of power, thepotential for revolutions to be co-opted by new forms of oppression, the dangers of blind loyalty to a charismatic leader, and the importance of vigilance in the face of oppression, Animal Farm remains as relevant and impactful today as it was when it was first published. It serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers of unchecked authority and the need to remain vigilant in the defense of freedom and equality.。

动物庄园英文读后感
动物庄园英文读后感Animal Farm is a thought-provoking and powerful allegorical novel that left a deep impression on me after reading it. George Orwell's depiction of a farm where animals overthrow their human owner and establish their own society is a brilliant commentary on the nature of power, corruption, and the human condition.The novel begins with the animals on Manor Farm being mistreated and oppressed by their human owner, Mr. Jones. Inspired by the dream of a better life, the animals unite under the leadership of the pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, and successfully overthrow Mr. Jones. They establish Animal Farm, a society where all animals are equal and free from human tyranny. However, as time goes on, the pigs, especially Napoleon, begin to abuse their power and manipulate the other animals for their own benefit. The novel ends with the pigs becoming indistinguishable from the humans they once rebelled against, leaving the other animals disillusioned and oppressed once again.Orwell's portrayal of the pigs' gradual descent into corruption and tyranny is a chilling reflection of the corrupting nature of power. The pigs, who were once the leaders of the revolution and espoused the ideals of equality and freedom, slowly become more and more like the humans they overthrew. Their manipulation of the other animals, their rewriting of the Seven Commandments, and their use of fear and violence to maintain control are all too familiar traits of oppressive regimes throughout history.The novel also serves as a powerful critique of totalitarianism and the dangers of blindly following charismatic leaders. The animals' unquestioning loyalty to Napoleon and their willingness to believe his lies and propaganda are a stark reminder of the consequences of blind obedience and the manipulation of truth.Moreover, Animal Farm is a poignant commentary on the human condition and the cyclical nature of history. The novel's ending, where the pigs and humans areindistinguishable from each other, serves as a sobering reminder that the pursuit of power and the corruption it brings are timeless and universal traits of humanity.Reading Animal Farm has left me with a sense of unease and introspection. Orwell's masterful storytelling and powerful allegory have made me reflect on the nature of power, corruption, and the human capacity for both good and evil. The novel's message is a timeless one, and its relevance in today's world is undeniable.In conclusion, Animal Farm is a thought-provoking and powerful novel that has left a deep impression on me. Orwell's allegorical portrayal of power, corruption, and the human condition is both timeless and relevant, and its message continues to resonate with readers today. It is a cautionary tale that serves as a reminder of the dangers of blind obedience, the corrupting nature of power, and the cyclical nature of history. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who is interested in thought-provoking literature and a deeper understanding of the human experience.。

AnimalFarm(《动物农庄》英文书评)(推荐5篇)第一篇:Animal Farm(《动物农庄》英文书评)Man and Animal First I want to mention that it has been half a month since I had finished the book Animal Farm written by George Orwell.I had written something the day I finished the book, but I want to add something now.Many teachers have ever recommended this book to us, so I bought it online instead of borrowing it from the library.The novel was not difficult to read and I spent five days to read it.I was little proud of the progress of my reading speed and really learned much from it.I supposed it was an interesting and joyful novel before I read it, because I thought it was something like a fairy tale.However, it was really sarcastic and the ending made me angry and sad.The end is as follows:“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.” I recalled that the early life after the animal rebellion was quite good and peaceful, when Snowball was still there.However, everything changed when Napoleon took the power of Animal Farm.I couldn’t assure Snowball was the best one, but Napoleon was surely the most vicious one.He, together with other pigs and dogs, became vicious and cruel and they learned the Men’s behavior, which mad the whole story miserable.The situation was that they overthrew the human’s cruel rule but rebuild another cruel rule.How ironic it was!Those pigs were clever but very mean!They expelled Snowball away.They always told lies and excelled in turning black into white.They lacked of sympathy, compassion and love.They were totally selfish.After Snowball disappeared fora long time, the living conditions of other animals were harsh.They were obliged to work very hard for long hours without enough food.Many of them fought against the authority but remained dead.I remembered that Boxer, the loyal and hard-working horse, was sent to slaughter when he was badly hurt for falling from the working place.Other animals were cheated that they believed he was sent to the doctors before they saw the special cart.I couldn’t help crying for their miserable faith.I had imagined many endings myself.I hoped that Snowball was a virtuous pig as well as a good leader, and I believed he would come back one day to save the poor animals struggling in the farm.I believed all the time and still believe now.I don’t think it has ended like that.He would be back and lead the animals to fight against the pigs, dogs and vicious human beings.They would finally win like their first rebellion.And then they, all the animals, live equally and freely in their own farm, especially when the advanced windmill is set up to produce power, electricity.They work as well as learn together, so that they can invent something more efficient for work.There will not be master, but comrades.Before Clover and Benjamin pass away, they can see how peaceful and joyful Animal Farm becomes, and they will tell Boxer when they go to the heaven.Human will not be enemy, but they are not friends, either.Animal Farm just belongs to those who remember the purpose of the first rebellion and those who have the courage to fight against unfairness.Of course, for the author’s purpose, there is not be such an end, but I just believe it.Believing is enough.TanyaApr.1st, 2013第二篇:《动物农庄》读后感《动物农庄》读后感《动物农庄》初看是一个想象奇特的童话故事,实际上它给我们带来的感受与思考要远远超过如《白雪公主》这样的童话故事,它被评论家定义为政治寓言体小说。
动物庄园英语英文读后感 作文 book report of reading animal farm
Book report of reading <Animal farm> <Animal farm> is one of the representative works of George Orwell. It is a successful anti Utopian work, which alludes to politics with simple and understandable language. George Orwell's creation of animal farm is not accidental, but closely related to his personal experience. Born in the British colony of India, George Orwell was full of sympathy for the oppressed people since his childhood. After witnessing the dark political disputes, he thoroughly saw the current situation of Spain under the rule of the Soviet Union. It was full of autocracy and persecution covered by the surface of democracy and progress. Therefore, he hopes to alert the world through his works. <Animal farm> was born in this period. ‘The creatures looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which is which. ‘For many years, the animals living in the farm had a dull life. They couldn't stand the days when they were enslaved by human beings and finally launched an uprising. They drove away the farm owner and became the owner of the manor themselves. At first, all the activities in the farm were in order. Under the leadership of Napoleon and Snowball (pigs), all the animals obeyed the rules and worked diligently. But Napoleon, who symbolizes a politician who always pursues power but loses its original intention, designed to get rid of snowball in order to gain power. From then on, everything changed completely. The life of animals began to be harder than in the past. Huge amounts of work worn them out and they can only barely get enough to eat. In order to consolidate his rule, Napoleon launched a campaign of cleansing and killed a numberof animals who tried to resist. In order to improve productivity, he let animals build windmills several times but never produce any food by his own labour. Napoleon has satisfied his ambition, but the animal farm no longer belonged to the animals. In the end, Napoleon and human were both sitting on the table playing cards. The author's sentence "pigs and men, can’t tell which is which" is really meaningful and worth thinking.Animals think that as long as they get rid of Jones, they can not only win freedom and equality but also live to their content. However, the real situation is that they have become the tools of Napoleon's dictatorship, and there is no freedom and equality at all. This is the same as human society.Every kind of animal in animal farm represents specific people, some are politicians pursuing fame and wealth, some are calm and objective wise men, some are hard-working models, some are talkative speakers. The author seemingly wrote about animals with different personalities but used them to reflect people in real society.Readers may have different understanding about this story. I highly recommend this book for its undoubtedly a classic novel. Although this is a seemingly simple story about the uprising of a group of animals, from the story of animals, we can see the human social phenomenon reflected in the story. Maybe we are similar in many places, whether animal or human.。

动物庄园英文读书报告
读书报告——《动物庄园》? 内容概要《动物庄园》是一本看似很薄却很有内涵的书,书中的内容看似荒谬却意味很深。
书中主要讲的是曼纳庄园中的动物们在“老麦哲”这头猪的动员下有了驱逐人类的想法,有了统治庄园的欲望,并由此发起了起义。
幸运的是,动物们果真实现了它们一统庄园的梦想,并且由两头名叫“拿破仑”和“斯诺鲍”的猪来统治这个庄园。
然而,这看似“成功”的起义在随着时间一点点流逝,随着当权者“拿破仑”逐渐地对当初定下的“七戒”的篡改,随着动物们对当初起义的真正目的的遗忘……渐渐地走回了一切的起始点,一如故事最后的那句“已分不出谁是猪,谁是人了”。
乍一看像是《夏洛的网》一类的故事,可看多了就能从书中的每一字每一句中读出作者乔治〃奥威尔所要表达的那种讽刺。
那种说了真话就得死,那种当权者的说一不二,那种当权者为了谋求自己的利益而不择手段……总觉得似曾相识不是么?? 精彩语段语段一:在“拥护斯诺鲍和每周三日工作制”和“拥护拿破仑和食料满槽制”的不同口号下,动物们形成了两派,本杰明是唯一一个两边都不沾的动物。
点评:“××制”、“××制”,这总在人类生活中出现的名词这回却在动物的世界中出现的这么“坦然自若”,似乎是在暗示读者,动物庄园已经逐渐地向人类世界靠近。
语段二:他讲演完后,表决会何去何从已经很明显了。
就在这个关头,拿破仑站起来,怪模怪样地瞥了斯诺鲍一眼,把了一声尖细的口哨,这样的口哨声以前没有一个动物听到他打过。
点评:在后文中对于斯奎拉也有过类似的神态描写,这种怪模怪样的复杂表情在现实生活中根本不会有在动物的脸上看见的可能性,然而在《动物庄园》中却频频出现,这是否也在暗示着这些动物和人类的相似呢?语段三:鲍克瑟细细琢磨了好一阵子,说了句“如果这是拿破仑同志说,那就一定没错”,以此来表达他的整个感受。
并且从此以后,他又用“拿破仑同志永远正确”这句格言,作为对他个人的座右铭“我要更加努力工作”的补充。
Animal Farm英文读后感 动物庄园
Animal Farm is a novel written by George Orwell in 1945.On the surface it is only a fairy tale,but actually the novel has a profound background,it is based on the historical events from the Russian October Revolution in 1917 to Stalin era,and every character is representing a real man in the Soviet Union.Thus the novel is regarded as a criticism on the politics and has been banned for many years.The story began with Old Major’s meeting.He was an old pig but also the spiritual leader of the farm,he said to all the animals that human was parasites who always oppressed them and therefore they should revolt,all animals were excited about these.After Old Major’s death,two young pigs,Snowball and Napoleon,became the new leaders,finally drove the owner,Mr Jones,away from the farm and changed it name to “Animal Farm”,made Seven Commandments.Since then animals here had a happy life,but it didn’t last long,soon afterwards,Snowball was declared to be the enemy of the farm and was expelled.So,Napoleon became the only leader,he began to purge the farm with his dogs,kill the animals who spoke ill of him,and no privilege he had promised before became reality.Animals remained thinking that they have a better life than the time of Mr.Jones,but in fact nothing has changed except the ruler.Years pass,pigs walked upright and wore clothes,they had no differences between human and even held a dinner party with them to celebrate abolition of revolutionary traditions.Everything went back to before.After reading the whole story,I think of the famous saying,”Power corrupts,absolute power corrupts absolutely.”Napoleon indeed had some political talent and he actually did good to the farm at the beginning,but once he got in thecenter of power,the weakness in his personality has been magnified and became more evident.In order to control the farm on his own,he used a merciless trick to chase his fellow,Snowball,away.After Napoleon became the dictator of the farm,he wanted to have a better enjoyment,so he broke all the commandments and exploited the laboring animals crueler.while doing these,he let his follower,Squealer, to tell the animals what the pigs do are beneficial to the farm.The most tragical character in the story is the horse,Boxer.He included all the good qualities in laboring class:strong,loyal,dedicated and devoted his whole life into the construction of the farm.But when he badly hurt because of overwork,Napoleon sold him for money to buy himself whiskey.The plot makes me feel despairing,a most devoted,long-suffering worker became the victim of the dictator’s material desire.Therefore,we could see that the bottom of society is so poor,these harmless people even become the opposite to the ruling class,as Mr. Pilkington said in the last chapter,”If you have your lower animals to contend with,we have our lower class.”In the end,the pigs who used to be the leader of the revolution,is as same as their enemy in the past,human,and maybe a new round of revolution will begin.。
动物庄园读后感英文版
动物庄园读后感英文版Animal Farm Book ReviewAnimal Farm, written by George Orwell, is a thought-provoking and powerful allegorical novella that explores the dangers of totalitarianism and the corrupting influence of power. Set on a farm where the animals revolt against their human owner, the story serves as a commentary on the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Stalinism. Through its vivid portrayal of the animals' struggle for freedom and equality, Animal Farm offers a compelling critique of political oppression and the manipulation of truth.The novel begins with the animals of Manor Farm, led by the pigs, overthrowing their oppressive human master, Mr. Jones. Inspired by the revolutionary ideals of Old Major, a wise and respected boar, the animals unite to establish a society based on the principles of Animalism, which promotes equality and freedom for all creatures. Initially,the farm is a utopian paradise where the animals work together to build a better future for themselves. However, as the pigs, particularly Napoleon and Snowball, seize control of the farm, the once-idealistic society begins to unravel.Orwell masterfully uses the animals to represent different figures and groups from the Russian Revolution. For example, Napoleon, the ambitious and ruthless pig, symbolizes Joseph Stalin, while Snowball, the intelligent and idealistic pig, represents Leon Trotsky. Through their actions and interactions, Orwell highlights the power struggles and betrayals that characterized the Soviet regime. The novel also reflects the ways in which propaganda, manipulation, and fear are used to maintain control and suppress dissent.One of the most compelling aspects of Animal Farm isits portrayal of the gradual erosion of the animals' rights and freedoms. As the pigs consolidate their power, they exploit and oppress the other animals, rewriting the Seven Commandments of Animalism to justify their actions. Thegradual transformation of the farm from a symbol of hope to a symbol of oppression is both heartbreaking and thought-provoking. Orwell's depiction of the pigs' manipulation and exploitation of the other animals serves as a stark warning about the dangers of unchecked power and the corrupting influence of authority.The novel's ending is both tragic and sobering, as the animals come to realize that the pigs have become indistinguishable from the humans they once rebelled against. The final scene, in which the pigs and humans celebrate their newfound alliance, is a chilling reminder of the novel's central message: power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Animal Farm serves as a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers oftotalitarianism and the importance of remaining vigilant against the abuse of power.In conclusion, Animal Farm is a timeless and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with readers around the world. Through its allegorical depiction of the Russian Revolution, Orwell offers a compelling critique ofpolitical oppression, propaganda, and the corrupting influence of power. The novel's vivid characters and powerful storytelling make it a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of political power and the dangers of authoritarianism. Animal Farm is a powerful reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant against the abuse of power and the manipulation of truth.。

动物庄园读后感英文
动物庄园读后感英文"Animal Farm: A ThoughtProvoking Reflection""Animal Farm" by George Orwell is a remarkable novel that offers profound insights into power, corruption, and the manipulation of the masses This story, presented in a seemingly simple form of an animal rebellion on a farm, holds within it complex and disturbing truths about human society The book begins with the animals on Manor Farm, tired of the tyranny of Mr Jones, their human owner Led by the pigs, they stage a successful revolution and establish a society where all animals are supposed to be equal The initial enthusiasm and hope among the animals are palpable; they believe they have taken control of their destiny and will live in a fair and just world However, as time passes, the pigs, especially Napoleon, gradually assume more power and start to corrupt the very principles they once fought forOne of the most striking aspects of the novel is the way Orwell shows how power can corrupt even those who start with the best of intentions The pigs, who were once seen as the leaders of the revolution and the defenders of animal rights, slowly become indistinguishable from the humans they overthrew They start to walk on two legs, wear human clothes, and live in comfort while the other animals continue to toil and suffer This transformation is a powerful commentary on how those in power often lose sight of their original goals and become consumed by their own greed and lust for controlThe character of Napoleon is particularly fascinating He uses propaganda, fear, and manipulation to maintain his grip on power He silences dissenting voices, rewrites history to suit his agenda, and creates a cult of personality around himself This portrayal is a stark reminder of how dictators and authoritarian leaders throughout history have employed similar tactics to subjugate their peopleAnother important theme in "Animal Farm" is the naivete and gullibility of the masses The other animals, despite their initial hopes and dreams, are easily misled and controlled by the pigs They lack the critical thinking skills and the awareness needed to see through the lies and deception This is a sad reflection on how people often fail to question those in authority and are willing to accept the status quo, even when it is clearly unjustThe use of animals as characters in the story is a brilliant device It allows Orwell to present his ideas in a way that is both accessible and universal The animals' simple desires for freedom and equality resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds Moreover, it makes the corruption and injustice that occur all the more jarring, as it contrasts sharply with the purity of the animals' original intentionsThe language in "Animal Farm" is simple yet highly effective Orwell's prose is straightforward, but it packs a punch He uses vivid descriptions and powerful imagery to bring the farm and its inhabitants to life The scenes of the animals' hard work, the battles for power among the pigs, and the eventual decline of the farm are all depicted with great clarity and emotional depthIn conclusion, "Animal Farm" is not just a story about animals on a farm; it is a cautionary tale for humanity It warns us of the dangers of unchecked power, the importance of critical thinking, and the need to remain vigilant against those who would seek to exploit and oppress This novel is a timeless masterpiece that continues to be relevant in today's world, where issues of power, corruption, and social justice are still very much at the forefront of our collective consciousness It is a mustread for anyone who wants to understand the workings of society and the human condition。
动物农场读后感英语
动物农场读后感英语Animal Farm: A Critique of Totalitarianism.George Orwell's allegorical novella, Animal Farm, presents a biting satire of totalitarianism, drawing parallels between the Russian Revolution and an animal rebellion on a fictional farm. The author's astute observations and skillful storytelling create a thought-provoking and enduring work of literature.Orwell meticulously exposes the mechanisms of totalitarian control through the characters and events of the farm. The pigs, initially portrayed as symbols of rebellion and equality, gradually morph into oppressive leaders who exploit and deceive the other animals. The pigs' manipulation of language and history, their use of propaganda, and their resort to violence are all classic tactics of authoritarian regimes.The gradual erosion of freedom and the suppression ofdissent are also central themes in the novel. The pigs manipulate elections, silence opposition, and rewritehistory to maintain their power. The animals, initiallyfilled with hope and optimism, become disillusioned and apathetic, their dreams of a just society fading away.Symbolism is a powerful tool employed by Orwell. The farm itself represents the Soviet Union, while the pigs symbolize the ruling elite. The windmill, a symbol of progress and modernization, becomes a source ofexploitation and misery. The characters of Old Major, the idealistic pig who starts the rebellion, and Boxer, the hardworking horse who endures hardships with unwavering loyalty, represent the lost promise of the revolution and the suffering of the masses.Animal Farm transcends its historical context to offera timeless critique of totalitarianism and its consequences. The novel serves as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked power, the importance of vigilance, and the need to resist oppression in all its forms.中文回答:《动物庄园》后感。
动物庄园读后感英文
动物庄园读后感英文"Animal Farm" is a thought-provoking and powerful novel that delves into the complexities of power, corruption, and the human condition. Written by George Orwell, the book serves as a powerful allegory for the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism, while also offering timeless insights into the nature of political systems and human behavior.The story is set on a farm where the animals, led by the pigs, rebel against their human owner, Mr. Jones, and establish their own self-governing society. At first, the animals are filled with hope and excitement for a better future, where all animals are equal and free from the tyranny of humans. However, as the pigs consolidate their power and become more like the humans they once despised, the farm descends into a dictatorship marked by inequality, oppression, and betrayal.One of the most striking aspects of "Animal Farm" is its portrayal of the corrupting nature of power. The pigs, especially Napoleon and Snowball, initially espouse the principles of equality and justice, but as they gain more power, they become increasingly authoritarian and ruthless. They manipulate the other animals, rewrite history to serve their own interests, and use fear and violence to maintain control. Through the pigs' transformation, Orwell illustrates how power can corrupt even the most well-intentioned individuals and how absolute power can lead to absolute corruption.Furthermore, "Animal Farm" offers a searing critique of totalitarianism and the dangers of propaganda and manipulation. The pigs use propaganda to control the narrative and brainwash the other animals, convincing them that their oppressive conditions are actually for their own benefit. This manipulation of truth and information serves as a chilling reminder of the ways in which authoritarian regimes use propaganda to maintain their power and suppress dissent.In addition to its political themes, "Animal Farm" also delves into the complexities of human nature and the ways in which individuals can be complicit in their own oppression. The other animals, particularly the passive and gullible sheep, represent themasses who are easily swayed and manipulated by those in power. The novel serves as a stark warning about the dangers of complacency and blind obedience, urging readers to question authority and think critically about the world around them.Overall, "Animal Farm" is a timeless and impactful work that continues to resonate with readers today. Its exploration of power, corruption, and human nature offers valuable insights into the complexities of political systems and the ways in which individuals can be complicit in their own oppression. As a cautionary tale about the dangers of totalitarianism and the corrupting nature of power, "Animal Farm" serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance, critical thinking, and the fight for justice and equality.。
动物庄园英文版《动物庄园》英文读后感范文
动物庄园英文版《动物庄园》英文读后感范文Animal farm is the first book I choose to read among the list of BBC Top 100 Novels. The book has aroused strong reaction and became famous since the date it was published. It reveals human reality by telling animals’ story in funny but extremely ironi c way.The story begins with a meeting held in one night by the animals in farm. Because of the great dissatisfaction of their owner, animals decide to ha一ve a revolution, chasing away the farmers and realize the equality among animals. They make defin itions about “friends” and “enemy”,elect the leader- an old pig, who died soon after the meeting and is taken place by two other pigs named “Snowball” and “Napoleon”,and enacted Seven Commandments. The days at the beginning are harmonious. But soon there’s a split between two leaders- Snowball is declared enemy of the revolution. What’s worse, leader pigs abuse their powers and gain benefits for themselves, ing exploiters as human.It seems ridiculous for animals to ha一ve a revolution and for pigs to govern the farm. But when we put it into human’s society, the story makes sense. In fact it reflects on the revolution happened in Soviet in 20th century. Animalism is similar to Socialism, which emphasizes equality a lot, but actually inequality at all. Extreme equality is tend to get into anembarrassing situation like “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Napoleon is also the reflection of Soviet’s leader Si Dalin, who was famous for his arbitrariness and toughness in the history and expelled Trotsky (Snowball reflects on Trotsky)。

AnimalFarm动物庄园英文版书评
Animal FarmWhen I first read this book, I feel like it’s not just a simple fable, because the author seems to want to imply something to us readers. The Animalism, which he has refered in his novel remind me of something about ideology, or a country, or the politics. “There was something subversive and even revolutionary in the outlook of himself and his colleagues.” It really proves that, for the special tone he uses. Then, I search on the Internet, which prove my guess further.Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel based on the lives of animals living on the Manor Farm. Here I’d like to talk about the main characters in this book.The first is Napolean, a pig. The pigs are favoured on Animal Farm, and they were given privileges that other animals were not given, such as sleeping in beds, wearing clothes and drinking beer. ”that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? We pigs are brainworkers.”In some sense, it’s reasonable. Everyone that wants to be favoured and privileged needs develop himself.“It had come to be accepted that the pigs, who were manifestly cleverer than the other animals, should decide all questions of farm policy, though their decisions had to be ratified by a majority vote. The pigs were also the only animals involved in making the vital decisions on Animal Farm. ”Those words are extracted from the book. I should say the pigs are quite hypocritical, they never really think of their so-called comrades, since what they have done just for their own.In the end of the story, there are some interesting but deep words “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”The author reveals that the pigs gradually become the so-called leaders which exploits the sweat and perspiration of the lower class. “Never complaining, never criticizing, no matter what happened----they might have uttered some word of protest.” That is what they always in mind.Another character, Boxer the horse, which represents how people are used for their skills and talents. As soon as they are not needed they are disregarded. Boxer is the hardest worker on the farm, he contributes the most to the development of the windmill. As soon as Boxer is unable to continue working, Napolean gets rid of him. This scene illustrates that Animal Farm is a story about human nature, as it is a human tendency to use people to achieve certain goals, but disregard them as soon as they are no longer needed. The two slogans of Boxer,”I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right”, which he had adopted as his personal motto. Boxer is always loyal to the Animalism, and he never knows that he is used, cheated and betrayed. When protecting the farm, he hurt someone, he said “I have no wish to take life, not even human life” He is kind.Clover's feelings for Boxer also illustrates how animal farm is about human nature and behaviour, Cover's fondness for Boxer showed when Boxer confides to Clover that how much his split hoof hurt, Clover treats Boxer's troubled hoof with poultices of herbs. After Boxer's hoof has healed, he works harder than ever, Clover tries to convince Boxer he shouldn't be working so hard and he should be taking better care ofhis help , but Boxer pays no attention. When Boxer falls down. Clover is first to come to his aid, for the next two days Boxer has to stay in his stall, Clover would give Boxer medicine, In the evenings Clover would lay in his stall and talk to him. When the Knacker's comes to collect Boxer, Clover does all in her power to stop the knackers taking Boxer away. This example of behaviour indicates the human quality of love and compassion towards others. This part is really warm.Well, about the theme.“Another thing that Animal Farm and todays society have in common is that the powerless people are subject to propaganda.”Squealer and Napolean used propaganda by telling the animals that Snowball was a traitor, and convincing them that he was a criminal. They threatened that if Napolean was not in leadership Jones may come back. Through this way “they found it comforting to be reminded that, after all, they were truly their own masters and that the work they did was for their own benefit. They even were able to forget that their bellies were empty, at least part of the time.” But actually they are not masters. They are under the leadership of Napolean. Their lives are miserable, laborious, and short.Later, I find a review of this book: “Although the title of the book suggests the book is merely about animals, the story is a much more in depth analysis of the workings of society in Communist Russia”.The animals are used as puppets to illustrate how the communist class system operated, and how Russian citizens responded to this, and how propaganda was used by early Russian leaders such as Stalin, and the effect this type of leadership had on the behaviour of the people of Russia., and human nature” It concludes very well, much better than me, anyway. (By the way, there is a viewpoint.“The fact emulates in a way how our Government tends to operate. The Government Party members are paid an exuberant amount of money, with this money the members of the Government can purchase costly cars and houses, if they wish to do so. They make all the important decisions about the country where as the tax payers rarely have a say in it. ” Well, it’s reasonable. But I don’t think it’s quite relevant to this novel. It’s not notable.)。
《动物庄园》英文读后感范文
Deep in your heart, there is still infinite potential, and one day when you look back, you will know that this isabsolutely true.勤学乐施积极进取(页眉可删)《动物庄园》英文读后感范文Animal farm is the first book I choose to read among the list of BBC Top 100 Novels. The book has aroused strong reaction and became famous since the date it was published. It reveals human reality by telling animals’ story in funny but extremely ironic way.The story begins with a meeting held in one night by the animals in farm. Because of the great dissatisfaction of their owner, animals decide to ha一ve a revolution, chasing away the farmers and realize the equality among animals. They make definitions about “friends” and “enemy”, elect the leader- an old pig, who died soon after the meeting and is taken place by two other pigs named “Snowball” and “Napoleon”, and enacted Seven Commandments. The days at the beginning are harmonious. But soon there’s a split between two leaders- Snowball is declared enemy of the revolution. What’s worse, leader pigs abuse their powers and gain benefits for themselves, becoming exploiters as human.It seems ridiculous for animals to ha一ve a revolution and for pigs to govern the farm. But when we put it into human’s society, the story makes sense. In fact it reflects on the revolution happened in Soviet in 20th century. Animalism is similar to Socialism, which emphasizes equality a lot, but actually inequality at all. Extreme equality is tend to get into an embarrassing situation like “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Napoleon is also the reflection of Soviet’s leader Si Dalin, who was famous for his arbitrariness and toughness in the history and expelled Trotsky (Snowball reflects on Trotsky)。

About the writer
• ——George Orwell
• Early lifeEric Arthur Blair was born on 25 June 1903 to British parents in Motihari, Bengal Presidency, British India. • There, Blair's father, Richard Walmesley Blair, worked for the Opium Department of the Civil Service. • His mother, Ida Mabel Blair (born Limouzin), brought him to England at the age of one.
Characteristics

World War II and Animal Farm
• After the ordeals of Spain and writing the book about it, most of Orwell's formative experiences were over. His finest writing, his best essays and his great fame lay ahead. In 1940, Orwell closed up his house in Wallington and he and Eileen moved into 18 Dorset Chambers, Chagford Street, NW1.
• He did not see his father again until 1907, when Richard visited England for three months before leaving again. • Eric had an older sister named Marjorie, and a younger sister named Avril. • He would later describe his family's background as "lower-upper-middle class".
What I have learned from the book
• In my view, the book is quite interesting and impressive,though the plot seems a little rediculous,I can feel the power of revolution from it. • The author connected the story with the reality ,making the abstract policy vivid and easier to understand. After reading the book ,I know more about the background of Soviet, I think it is quite a good way to enlarge our knowledge.
Thanks for listening!
