《动物庄园（英文版）》读后感100字

Global Farm — Review on Animal Farm as a start of literature writing in English, not a scientific one as I did.

The author

George Orwell, who was born in India in early 20th and moved to England at the age of four,experienced a lot in many different areas. He published this Animal farm in 1945, following by his most famous work Nighteen eighty-four four years later on the same topic.

The story of the fiction

Every single story depicted with an animal perspective seems ridiculous. For instance, the cat in Natsume Sosekis work, the ape and dog in Franz Kafkas short stories, all seem absurd. But the truth is, the exact same or even more ridiculous stories are happening everyday world widely in the human world. Its not surprising this happens because all those absurd stories are literally written by human beings who despise this damn world.

Background of that time period

In the past century, or even only five to six decades, the world has only begun tochange a little bit. When you go to the literature written in the early twentieth century, you will figure out how the world was like and how similar it was as it is nowadays, especially the situation which sucks.

My discussion

We all feel alone living in this world, complaining that others do not understand us. Actually, we do not really care about others as well. Even the inferiority is coming from self-consciousness. Thus, we never satisfied with the world or other people while we always are truly ungrateful and bottomless with what others did for us. This is one bloody reality of the world, and one of the essential reasons why the story came out in this Animal Farm.

Politics are always tricky, the masses are being educated and stupefied by the potentate and there are political fights everywhere absolutely, no matter where you are, no matter which party the politicians are from. If you want to ruin one union or even one individual, one efficient way is to let them exist under self-government without any interference. If they are smart enough, they would survive and organize themselves well and then you can negotiate or collaborate with them, achieving a win-win ending. However, in many cases, such as in this metaphor, they would screw everything up and ruin their own lives.

On the other hand, this can also be considered as a seek for equality for all races. When the slaves were still legal in Europe and the United States, people who were serving fought for their own rights as the animals did on this farm. The way to liberate and real freedom is tough and a long journey, along which there must be torture and suffering. For a community or large as a country, the way would be much tougher because we have to overcome human nature including rapacious and stubbornness, and subsequently may experience totalitarianism, power-struggles and deviation from the right direction.

So, be patient, we will get there at the end -- this is absolutely not a supportive expression for all the mistakes but only an optimistic view. As it is believed that only five percent of the population are rotating the world, please those five percent make the journey not too long.

To note

I’m obsessive at this time point to write the review using the same language as used in the fiction. Although it might seem naive written and there must be linguistic mistakes right now, I believe one day I will be better at both logical thinking and writing levels.

No political discussion any more.
