Animal Farm tells a story about farm animals. They are fed up with Mr. Jones, the farmer who treats them badly, so they decide to kick him off the farm and run the farm themselves. They adopt Seven Commandments of Animalism, of which the most important is "All animals are equal”. Pigs are the leaders of the operation of the newly start-up farm. Thanks to the right lead of the pigs and selfless and hardworking of all animals, the Animal Farm develops good enough to their demands.

However, life is not easy. The leaders separate into two factions soon after. As a result, Snowball, a pig leader, is expelled by Napoleon, another pig, as a betrayer. Although Snowball was a brave leader, others firmly conceive he wasn’t and Snowball is a bad animal indeed after brainwashing Napoleon offered. What’s more, the Seven Commandments of Animalism had also been changed. Finally, the Animal Farm becomes quite different from what they hope it to be at the beginning.

From the novel, it is the faith that support animals to find their regime and struggle the equal from humans. But it’s the ambition that leads to the animal farm’s tragedy and destroy the hope of democracy.

Upon finishing the book, I can’t help thinking the animal farm is similar to our society. Nowadays, i t’s the conviction that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But the progress has been uneven. there was a time when we wonder who’s the ruler of the world, all of us had the ambition to control the whole world, then wars broke out. It robbed many innocent lives as well as the peace and the harmony, which evoke our deeper thoughts, is it the home we want to rebuild? Is it the faith that we believe in? Knowing what stupid things we’ve done, we stopped the crimes and got our foot in the door of democracy. Of course the work of democracy has always been hard, contentious and sometimes bloody. We still have to fight for it, with the faith, no matter when we are, no matter who we are.
