Animal Farm

This is a book that exposes the transformation of the Soviet communist system into a totalitarian system. It has a strong allegorical nature and is well written, leaving a very deep impression on people. At the same time, he also told people to oppose all forms of totalitarianism and to demand equality for everyone.

"Animal Farm" is a political allegory novel, based on the story of farm animals resisting human rule, establishing an autonomous animal society, but eventually leading to dictatorship. It profoundly reveals the nature of power and the dangers of abuse. In the book, animals initially fight for equal freedom, and the slogan "all animals are equal" ignites hope. However, the temptation of power quietly changes everything. The pigs gradually became corrupt in the leadership process. Napoleon used his power for personal gain, tampered with the rules, and twisted the "Seven Commandments" into a tool to maintain his dictatorship. The animals' lives returned to hardship. The author Orwell used sharp writing to use the animal world to reflect real politics, letting us see that if power lacks supervision and checks and balances, the ideals of equality and freedom will come to nothing. "Animal Farm" warns the world that no matter how good the original intention of the revolution is, we need to be wary of the alienation of power. It prompts readers to reflect on social and political phenomena. It is a classic with both ideological depth and literary value, always reminding people of the value of protecting freedom, equality and justice.

Short story, profound truth. The author uses metaphors to describe a farm with huge class divisions. Let me talk about the plot that impressed me the most: 1. The boxer was not sent to the hospital, but to the slaughterhouse. 2. Snowball was driven out of the farm by Napoleon's dog. 3. Napoleon ordered that "The Creature of England" could no longer be sung. 4. Napoleon gambled with mankind. 5. Snowball leads the animals to fight against humans. 6. Napoleon ordered that "Animal Farm" be changed to "Manor Farm". At the end, "The animals looked out of the window, their eyes moving from pigs to people, then from people to pigs, and then from pigs to people again. It was impossible to tell which face belonged to a pig and which face belonged to a human." Pigs look like pigs on the outside, but they are human on the inside... "Creatures of England, creatures of Ireland, no matter where you belong or where you were born, come and listen to me sing about the bright prospects of the future golden age..."

This is a somewhat scary book. After reading it, I feel chills in my back. It is easy to think of the descendants in "A Fang Gong Fu" who mourned and ignored it, which also made the descendants mourn for the descendants again. Just like a prophecy, terrifying and realistic

Is this a story about a boy who slays a dragon and eventually becomes a dragon? I don't think so. I believe that the goal of those pigs at the beginning was not for the equality of animals. They took advantage of this opportunity, seized power, and exploited the animals.

After reading it, I found it to be very practical and may not be out of date for many years to come. Power breeds desire and inequality. As long as power exists, it is difficult for even the fighting class to ensure its purity. Even like the pigs in the book, they gradually become what they once were "hated by everyone". At the end of the book, they have completely assimilated with people, violating the original ideal, and the so-called program is almost the same. After changes, in the end, they all serve the ruler. In this case, it is actually very difficult to stay awake. There are very few people like Benjamin who can see the situation clearly when they are in it. They are more like boxers, thinking that they can usher in a better tomorrow through hard work. This is actually quite sad and ironic. As for the practical significance of this book to us, I think one is that we need to improve our ideological level and enhance our critical thinking ability, that is, we should not "take the wind as the rain", be bold in doubting, and be careful to seek verification. The other is to stick to our true heart, not to be "led by the nose", and to be able to "come out of the mud without being stained". In fact, it is quite difficult to achieve these two points. You can only say that you can do it and cherish it.

It's so exciting, my God. I was unwilling to read foreign literary works for a long time because I felt that the cultural differences were too big. I really didn't know what the other person was talking about when I didn't understand the background of their writing. But after reading this book, I think it's possible. Sometimes it's not entirely my problem that I can't read foreign works. It's because the author's writing style or creative habits are not suitable for me. We both have problems or both of us have problems. I heard about these two books a long time ago (the other one was from 1984), but I didn't have time to read it. Now I finally finished reading this one. It is shorter than I thought but a hundred times more exciting than I thought. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most shocking book I have read in four years, and it is a shock that cannot be felt through the explanation. But I don't regret reading it late. Although it is shocking, I feel that there are still some things that still need to be experienced to feel. Maybe twenty years from now I will feel more when I read this book than I do now. I had a premonition of the boxer's death, but the final scene of the killing of the donkey still made me feel a little uncomfortable, and the ending chapter, which was unexpected and reasonable... I had thought it would go in this direction, but this way of writing, my God, I was really ignorant. At the end, I could only lie in my heart, and my brain and scalp were numb. One more thing I forgot to mention, when I saw the Old Major's skull being removed at the end, I also felt numb. Not only was the Old Major forgotten by the animals, but I also forgot about the existence of the Old Major because of my god. I really can't remember this character unless I click on the comment area. I have to go back and search for where it appeared... There is a kind of suddenly following the book. There is a thrilling feeling in the plot... And I also feel an inexplicable sadness. Sometimes the cohesion of an organization really lies in the leader himself. When the leader leaves, his successor is really not him and cannot continue his ideals. In the end, it can only run counter to his original intention of establishing the organization...

Benjamin, the donkey in this book, sees everything clearly but is helpless and pretends to be deaf and dumb. He is very much like us today.

This book is very thoughtful. It examines society and politics from the perspective of animals. It reminded me of "1984". Just like the book says, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." This irony is so wonderful! Moreover, the binding of the "Translation 40" series is also very exquisite, which is hard to put down. I think it is similar to the binding style of "The Great Gatsby". All in all, this is a good book worth reading again and again!

After reading "Animal Farm", I felt that my mind was refreshed. I thought it was boring, but I had a shocking realization until I couldn't distinguish the faces at the end. Halfway through the book, I thought that someone once called me a pig, but only people can do this kind of thing. I was relieved to find that the pig was not necessarily scolding me.

After reading the second half of the book, I always thought that the ending would be that there was external pressure, the human farmers coveted Animal Farm, killed Napoleon and his followers, and the farm returned to its former appearance. But nothing happened afterward. The once-oppressed subject transformed and became proficient in oppressing other subjects. Maintaining rule seemed to be an innate talent for those in power.

Compared with fables, it is more suitable as a historical enlightenment book, which can well stimulate readers' interest in exploring the historical truth. What I mean is that this book is not the end, but a good starting point - and that is its most important value.

It is recommended to understand the relevant history first. I feel that I did not understand it very clearly. I understand it roughly, but I will read it again. It is really like a satirical joke and it is real.

Rothschild "When money stands up to speak, truth must be silent; when power stands up to speak, even money must retreat."

I saw the ending on Station B and thought it was interesting, but the translation didn't seem quite right. It's pretty good. Although Napoleon probably guessed the direction of the plot after he drove Snowball away, I was still surprised by the fact that pigs learn to walk like humans. It can only be said that blind obedience will lead to destruction in the end.

How did Master Orwell see everything from 1945 to 2025 in 1945?

It is wonderful to use stories like Animal Revolution to allude to reality. Personal views on history may be one-sided and subjective, but when turned into absurd fables, you will discover the essence of things, which even transcend time and space and are independent of will.

Read this book after finishing 1984. "Four legs are good, two legs are bad" to "Four legs are good, two legs are better". I don't know which one is the pig and which one is the human face. It's really ironic. The "Seven Commandments" were gradually broken, and the beautiful life imagined by the animals finally came to nothing. The author uses animals as a metaphor for reality and satirizes reality. Read Brave New World next and prepare to read Us.

The final sentence is very ironic, which ones are pigs and which ones are humans.

The truth is something that cannot be seen with the eyes.

The more people read Orwell, the more freedom will be guaranteed

There is nothing new under the sun. Good works can still alert the world after hundreds of years.

Anyone who reads this book carefully will not doubt the author's vision of transcending the times.

Replace humans with animals, and the cycle repeats. History tells us that everything is a cycle of reincarnation, and what will happen in the future can be learned from history. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs

The conflict ends abruptly after reaching a climax at the end, which is extremely shocking.

At first glance, the book "Animal Farm" tells the story of animals rebelling against humans and managing their own farms. The more I read, the more complicated it becomes. The animals in the book were full of ideals at first, but then power slowly changed some of their roles, and the original agreement of equality was overturned bit by bit. The author uses a fable to write deeply about human nature and social issues. Although it is not long, it makes people think a lot after reading it. It is a book worth reading again and again, and the more you read it, the more interesting it becomes.

It's so beautiful. I have never read such a good book. It's very interesting. I really want to keep reading. Unfortunately, it's too short. The books I've read before are all rubbish. This is the only one. I think it's ranked number one in my heart.

In order to complete my homework, I also fell in love with this kind of advanced book. The reading is not bad. I don't like reading classics very much, but this one is good and good. In fact, I randomly chose a book with few words, and I got into it. I liked the irony. After I finished my homework, I also enjoyed reading the book. I recommend it (*^ω^*)

If animals had human thoughts and human actions, then perhaps there would be nothing like humans. In higher-level governance, people's thinking and behavior are restricted. But people in the game must know how to judge what is right and wrong, rather than blindly following it, otherwise they will be at the mercy of others like one of them. If you have no use value, then it doesn't matter whether you survive or not. This is a book worth pondering.

As the appendix says, this book broke my beautiful illusions about the Soviet Union
