篇一：動物莊園英文讀後感
Animal farm is the first book I choose to read among the list of BBC Top 100 Novels. The book has aroused strong reaction and became famous since the date it was published. It reveals human reality by telling animals” story in funny but extremely ironic way.
The story begins with a meeting held in one night by the animals in farm. Because of the great dissatisfaction of their owner, animals decide to have a revolution, chasing away the farmers and realize the equality among animals. They make definitions about “friends” and “enemy”， elect the leader- an old pig, who died soon after the meeting and is taken place by two other pigs named “Snowball” and “Napoleon”， and enacted Seven Commandments. The days at the beginning are harmonious. But soon there”s a split between two leaders- Snowball is declared enemy of the revolution. What”s worse, leader pigs abuse their powers and gain benefits for themselves, becoming exploiters as human.
It seems ridiculous for animals to have a revolution and for pigs to govern the farm. But when we put it into human”s society, the story makes sense. In fact it reflects on the revolution happened in Soviet in 20th century. Animalism is similar to Socialism, which emphasizes equality a lot, but actually inequality at all. Extreme equality is tend to get into an embarrassing situation like “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Napoleon is also the reflection of Soviet”s leader Si Dalin, who was famous for his arbitrariness and toughness in the history and expelled Trotsky （Snowball reflects on Trotsky）。
The revolution of animals is based on being treated unfairly by human. Because their enthusiasm and hatred, they success at the beginning. However, they do not know how to remain a steady regime. The key of keeping a regime is to set restrictions to the power. In other words, to legislate. The responsibility and rights of both government and citizens should be showed obviously in the law.
Another opinion I have learnt from the book is that, we ought to be tough when tracing our goals. And we shouldn”t give up to our desires. In the book, in the end pigs become something very like human who they were against at first. And in reality, if we don”t keep a clear mind to control our desires and remember what kind of people we want to be, we will be lost and become people that we used to hate.
To make a conclusion, George Orwell makes the reveal of politics and humanity in a vivid and simple story, from which readers think much about the history and society.

Animal Farm tells a story that one day the animals overthrow the farmer Mr. Jones, and found their own regime, called “Animal Farm”。 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, the leaders separate into two factions soon after. As a result, Snowball is expelled by Napoleon as a betrayer. Although many animals remember that Snowball is a brave leader, they firmly believe they were wrong 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; I expressively feel the great power of faith. With the faith of Animalism, they finally found their regime, and struggle the equal from humans. And because of the faith, Napoleon can still rule the wretched animals, even though Snowball has gone. In our daily life, faith is indispensable as well. Faith just as flame, guiding us and supporting us when we feel frustrated as well as every time we need power to keep going ahead. When the Animal Farm is in mess, the animals still believe in their faith and Animalism. As to us, this believing is needed. Sometimes we may think we are in a wrong road to our dream, or we lose heart of ourselves, considering we aren”t as well as respect, we need believe. A strong faith just likes a protection, and we are protected by it from kinds of difficulties.
