I see my country
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
Throughout this book, I see my country.
Skimping all the titles of 书评 in douban, I find that the majority of people who read the same book tended to make a link to some grand topics like the nature of human-being, philosophy and topics grand like those from world perspective.
Partly perhaps due to my narrowness of knowledge, animal farm just reminded me of my motherland. Largely because maybe none of countries in this planet resemble Animal Farm more than our country does.
The story begins at a night. A pig, dying old pig, assembles everyone on Manor Farm to listen to him make a speech of his dream. Perceiving his imminent doom, the mayor of the farm urgently wants to pass on to the younger generation the wisdoms he has accumulated. He unveils human’s evil mask to his fellows, and tells them human is lazy devil who make no produce but utilize animals toil for them. Yet still derive animal of most of their produce and leave just bare minimum that will prevent them from starving. Then he comes to his insightful conclusion: Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever. All the animals are dumbfounded. Old pig says determinedly that the only solution to all these current scourges is rebellion. Though this provident leader confesses that he doesn’t know when and how this remarkable rebellion powerful enough to emancipate animal from fetter will come. But he is totally convinced of that animal will get their world. “carry on the struggle until it is victorious” says the dying Mayor. “human use you till you are useless, they will kill you” all the Mayor says stir warmth and excitement among the audience. Old pig continues “we must not come to resemble him. Even when you have conquered him DO NOT ADOPT HIS VICES no animal must ever tyrannize over his own kind. WEAK or STRONG, CLEVER or SIMPLE, WE ARE ALL BROTHERS. ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL”( does that laconic language fused with vitality and perfect state of living things remind you of our lovely DANG and Mr. Obama~~~~) At the end, old pig teaches a song named BEASTS OF ENGLAND to the audience. Well, this song has a origin akin to myth: when old pig is little, he hears the tune from his mother. All the pigs that time just know the tune and the first three words BEASTS OF ENGLAND. The rest of the words fell into oblivion after generations. BUT! Old pig says the remainder dawns upon him and he want all the creature on this farm memorize this song by heart.
“even the stupidest of them had already picked up the tune and a few of the words, and as for the clever ones such as the pigs and dogs, they had the entire song by heart within a few minutes. And then, after a few preliminary tries, the whole farm burst out into BEASTS OF ENGLAND in tremendous unison”
I deem that the old pig just fabricates the origin of this song to instigate the mass. Throughout the long history, fomentations masked by myth origin rarely fail to stimulate people.
Old pig dies a few days after his speech. Animals even though having no idea when the rebellion will take place see that it is their duty to prepare for it. So the two pre-eminent pigs Snowball and Napoleon out of the whole pigs, the group wildly acknowledged as the cleverest animals, come to the leadership. They disseminate old Mayor’s ideas to the public with more details , learn alphabet themselves and teach the masses ( is that like what the 指导员do in our revolution war? Hahaha~~)
Nobody conceives the impending arrival of the rebellion predicted by old Mayor. In my dim recollection, because the owner of the Manor Farm, Mr. Jones loses a lot of money so gives little food to feed the animal, animal burst into warmth and fight for their life!! (民以食为天啊、、、、农民同志们也大部分是因为这个想翻身当master of their own的吧) miraculously do they compel Mr. Jones out of the farm. (团结就系力量,这力量系铁,这力量系钢有木有!水能载舟亦能覆舟,李世民爷爷的潺潺教诲不断回响)
“in the ecstasy of that thought they gamboled round and round.”they sing their BEASTS OF ENGLAND over and over again. They visit Mr. Jones’ house. ” A unanimous resolution was passed on the spot that the farmhouse should be preserved as a museum All were agreed that no animal must ever live there”
And SEVEN COMMANDMENTS drafted by Snowball and Napoleon according to old mayor’s thoughts are painted on the wall:
THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.
(does that look like our famous San Da ji lv ba xiang zhu yi?)
Then Snowball and Napoleon initiated the freedom life on the farm. Continue to teach the illiterate(扫盲) and plan to make numerous improvement. All for Removing Man from the scene.
Their core maxim is “FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD”
The reforming process is rife with irony that persists from the inception of history.
Rebellion for power. Napoleon
In the first place, Snowball is the superior leader. Napoleon is next to him. Napoleon always stands the opposite side to Snowball. Dissent has no end until one of them leaves. The one is Snowball. Napoleon fosters several strong dogs in secret. Their sudden appearance frightens everyone and Snowball abdicates under coercion.
Boxer: blindly devoted follower
There are always blindly devoted followers, like Boxer, a strong horse. The only thing compels him move on is belief. His motors are “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right”(我想起那句,“莫斯里尼总是有理,现在有理,而且永远有理”) this indefatigable servant exerts all his effort during work time and always do extra work in his “leisure” time. He is sleeping or eating, otherwise he is working. he believed everything Napoleon says is right. In a scene, when Squealer tells his a lie, rationality make Boxer suspect. However, after being informed that Squealer is just telling him what Napoleon’s idea, Boxer dispels all his suspect. As an old worker, Boxer is looking forward at his retirement life. He decided to do his utmost to dedicate himself till his retired age. Yet he is too tired and his death comes before retirement. the great Napoleon decided to send him to town hospital. THEN THE MOST IRONIC THING HAPPENS. Animals find out that the track carries Boxer is a track from HOURSE Slaughterhouse!!
Remember what does the old mayor say? “human use you till you are useless, they will kill you. DO NOT ADOPT HIS VICES” as power come to grasp, evil nature comes along with it.
Treachery. Mollie .They love soft corruption
Well in hardship, we could always find existence of people who prefer comfortable state outside their land to fighting within their own. Circumventing all the works, Mollie extenuates for herself. And she love sugar and ribbon. In the end, she runs to people who give her sugar and beautiful ribbon.
其实我还没写完,还有一个关于权利的腐败,民主被剥夺的。明天接着写吧。
