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）
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.。

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
• Squealer——pig the supporter of Napoleon,good at speaking • Boxer——horse with low intelligence， hold steady belief of animalism, at last he was sold by Napoleon to a slaughter horse dealer(宰马商) • Mr. Jones ——the origin host in the farm
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!
