Reading Notes|| Animal Farm

I haven't read a book for a long time since I graduated from school, and recently I wanted to pick up a book to start over, but I found that I didn't have the patience I had before, set up a small flag, read 10 books before the end of this year, I hope to read more books myself, and develop the habit of reading again!

The book I'm sharing today is Animal Farm.

【Excerpt】

• After we are born, we are forced to work by those people until the last bit of strength is exhausted, and they give us only enough food to sustain life; when we become useless, we are immediately brutally slaughtered by them. No animal in England will ever know what pleasure and leisure mean after he is one year old. No animal in England has freedom. It is an indisputable fact that an animal's life is a life of suffering and slavery.

• If she had any vision of the future, it would be a picture of a society in which there is no hunger and scourging, where all are equal, each does what he can, and the strong protect the weak, just as on the night of Magel's speech, she protected the flock of ducklings who had lost their mothers on her front legs.

• All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

【Insight】

A very ironic book, the life of animals is spent in pain and slavery, human beings are not, there will always be many things in human life that trip us up, from birth to the moment of life, we have been defined around, affected by various people and things, most of life is in pain, or try to do yourself, as long as the end does not disappoint yourself.
