Of Animal Farm
13070216 高静There is a saying that goes”A good beginning is half done”. Actually ,i don’t know how to begin this essay,because i don’t have any idea of what i am going to talk about. Should the this essay be totally gibberish ,i would beg your forgiveness.
First ,i want to talk something about old Major.Without him ,it is impossible for other animals to come to reason and give rise to rebellion. His remark “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.Whatever goes upon four legs ,or has wings ,is a friend.” is really incisive.However,i guess ,if Major were to have a chance to see what his juniority Napoleon has done,he would be infuriated and become an angry ghost,then end Napoleon’s ignoble life immediately.
As to Napoleon,well,i should say,it’s the most odious pig that i have met . My anger becomes stronger and stronger as my understanding towards him becomes deeper and deeper. He is that kind of pig who is extremely clever but just wouldn’t use his intelligence correctly. He is that kind of pig who confuses right and wrong. He is that king of pig who couldn’t bear others’ talent. He is perfectly good at speaking one way before animal and doing another way behind animal.He is the quintessence of breaking words. However, there is no denying that he is extremely farsighted. He knows his ambition from the very beginning day that he wants to be the leader,the only leader of the farm. Considering snowball’s intelligence and eloquence,he sees darken hope to be the only leader. His cunning tells him ------He has to resorted extremes.So a pack of swashbuckling dogs who have blind loyalty were fostered.A flock of stupid sheet were cultivated.Frankly speaking ,i am really interested in the end of Napoleon. Never will i be happy should i hear that our great Napoleon dies peacefully in his sweet dream.
In the end ,i want to express my admiration for George Orwell.His vivid and vigorous descriptions really impress me a lot.And i want to share my favorite sentences with you:
1.One day,however,he arrived unexpectedly to examine the plans,He walked
heavily around the shed,looked closely at every detail of the plans and snuffed at them once or twice,then stood for a little while contemplating them out of the corner of his eyes;then suddenly he lifted his legs ,urinated over the plans ,and walked out without uttering a word.(ME:What a jerk!)
2.But just at this moment Napoleon stood up and ,casting a peculiar sidelong look at Snowball ,uttered a high-pitched whimper of a kind no one had ever heard him utter before.(To tell you the truth,i was really amused by that “peculiar sidelong look.”)。
