Summary:



The story happened in Mr. Jones
’
s Manor farm. The
animals
worked
for
the
farm
day
and
night.
One
night,
a
pig
Old
Major
told
the
animals
what
he
had
dreamed.
Then
the
animals
realize
that
they
were
leading
a
miserable
life
and
they
were
exploited by human being. Old Major encouraged them to get rid of
man and the produce of their labor would be their own. Later, the
battle really happened and Mr. Jones run away. They established
“
Animal
Farm
”

and
put
forward
“
Seven
Commandments
”
.
At
the
beginning of
“
Animal Farm
”
, all animals were equal. It was a new
life .Every
animal
bore
hardship
and
work
hard
for
a
better
life.
However,
the
leaders--pigs
took
advantage
of
new
system
to
benefit themselves. They slept on the bed and drunk milk. The two
leaders-Snowball
and
Napoleon
wanted
to
be
the
only
leader.
Snowball was driven out because Napoleon let some fierce dog to
chase him. And then Napoleon declared Snowball was spy and the
enemy of Animal Farm. In the past, Snowball put forward to build
windmill
and
Napoleon
push
others
to
build
it
since
Snowball
’
s
departure.
Though
it
was
wrecked
twice
but
it
finally
was
accomplished
through
years
of
hard
work.
As
time
went
by,
pigs

1

became
the
privileged
stratum.
They
even
revised
“
Seven
Commandments
”
to satisfy their own desire. If animals complained
about the ruling of Napoleon, they would be killed cruelly. Animals
had no freedom and kept working much laborious work. They had
less food but pigs always had feast. Animal
’
s miserable life was just
like that in Manor Farm. At last, pigs even walked by two legs and
had negotiation with people. Animal
’
s life did not change at all or
maybe more miserable than before.


Personal thought:



Combined with my knowledge of history, I
can sense this book reflect the situation in the Soviet Union. Every
animal has its own reflection. Napoleon was just Stalin. He was in
charge of the whole country in an
autocratic way. He killed those
who
were
not
willing
to
obey
his
ruling.
Snowball
was
just
like
Trostsky. When people didn't need him, no one cared about his life
though
he
dedicated
his
whole
life
to
the
country.
What's
worse,

people
blamed
all evil
things
and
bad
results to him.
He
was
the
victim of politics. Boxer are those who lived

at the bottom of society.
They
work
the
most
laborious
work
and
eat
least.
They
were
exploited everyday until death. Their lives were poor. Old Benjamin
reflected those who wanted to save their lives and avoided being
killed by not commenting on politics. They were not satisfied about

2

the situation but they were reluctant to criticize.

I am sure that everyone can see the totalitarianism among pigs.
Why
is
there
totalitarianism?
I
think
first
it's
because
of
lacking
supervision. Without supervision, no matter how heroic and wise he
is,he
will
abuse
the
power,
because
complete
power
is
bound
to
lead to complete corruption. Secondly, people are lazy. They think
that there will be heroes leading them to a better life no matter he is
Snowball
or
Napoleon,
Stalin
or
others.
They
don’t

want
to
take
pains and to worry about the future. They all depend on heroes but
not
rely
on
themselves.
That's
totally
wrong.
Everyone
must
take
responsibility
for
himself.
People
can't
be
so
lazy
to
put
all
the
responsibility and rights to the leader. When you overthrow a leader
and
uphold
another
leader,
that's
not
democracy.
Depending
on
leaders
would
not
obtain
democracy.
The
so-called

rulers give you is autocracy with the skin of democracy.
Then I want to say people's patience to tyranny and misrule.
This
story
reflected
situation
in
the
Soviet
Union.
However,we
all
know,
history
is
always
similar. I
can
also find
miniature
of
China
and
Chine
people
at
that
time.
Chinese
people
have
a
bad
character
of
tolerating
more
autocracy,
misrule
than
any
Western
people.
No
matter
in
the
ancient
time
or
during
Chairman
Mao's
ruling, people can always tolerate corruption, tyranny and other evil
