In order to emphasize the importance of understanding animals, the writer created Ginger as a negative example. Ginger was the friend of Beauty who led a much more miserable life than Beauty did. Once she told Beauty: “When I was trained, several men caught me in a corner of the field and one held my nose so hard that I could only just breathe. Then others pulled my mouth open to put the bit in, and I was pulled along and beaten from behind. They didn’t give me a chance to understand what they wanted.”
Poor Ginger, kindness was all she needed. She was frightened seriously so she bit or kicked to defend any possible attacks. The more she was whipped the more she bit, the more she bit the more she was whipped. In this way, both animals and humans were trapped in a terrible cycle made by human beings. Consequently, humans were frequently hurt by frightened horses. The author thus portrayed Ginger to tell me that harming animals may also harm us.
When I have a sketchy look at other farm animals the writer depicts, it is simple to find more examples of cruel things humans do to animals out of ignorance. This part of the novel expanded people’s scope from only horses to all the animals and deepened the plea for animal rights and that made the novel more successful.
Sir Oliver, the old horse, had a 20-centimeter-long tail. His beautiful long tail was cut off just because the owners thought it was fashionable. Humans never understood how pained a horse is when he can’t brush flies off his sides and back legs.
Sky, the terrier, had had a part of her ears sheared off. Her owners wanted to make her look cute and ignored that parts of her ears were intended to protect the delicate parts from injury. “Why don’t people cut their own children ‘s ears to make them look lovely?” Asked the poor dog angrily. Yes, why can’t we think from the animals’ perspective?
“Black Beauty is a heartbreaking story,” I thought when my mother read it to me when I was a child. As a child I was haunted by the described cruelty to those horses. Now I deeply hope, in the future, we will be able to tell our children that because of the book, and others like it, such mistreatment of animals no longer exists. And they just need to enjoy the novel as a beautiful historical documentary recording the progress of upholding animal rights. At that time, the dream of the author will have come true and her hard work will have been rewarded.
“Animals deserve our kindness, sympathy and understanding,” that is what Anna Sewell——the author of Black Beauty——wanted to convince her readers. Thanks to Sewell, I now think about the animal——human relationship from both the human and the animal’s point of view.
The inspiration for Anna Sewell’s novel was drawn from her own relationship with horses. Anna Sewell was born on March 20th, 1820 in Norfolk, England and was crippled while still very young. Due to her disability, she relied on horse-drawn carriages and grew to love horses as a result. She also became appalled by the careless and cruel treatment horses often received from humans and determined to write a book In the second year of work on the book, she was told that she had only eighteen months to live, but she persevered in order “to induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding [of the ] treatment of horses.” Five years later, she was still working on Black Beauty, her only book. Unfortunately, Sewell died a few months after publication and never learned of the book’s huge success. Black Beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had been dismissed as ridiculous.
The novel portrayed the real condition of working horses living in Britain during the Victorian Era. In that time period, the wealthy thought that their horses were treated well because they never stepped into the stable. In order to call people’s attention to horses’ hard life, Sewell tells the story through the first-person narrative voice of a horse. This innovative personification of an animal made the book a real success. Readers heard the stories straight from the horse’s mouth, literally, as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering. People were shocked by the truth exposed by the novel and changed their attitudes towards animals.
Sewell formed the novel with three kinds of characters: Black Beauty, Ginger and other farm animals. Through their different experiences, I saw similarly painful lives led by the animals. This method made the earnest appeal for animal rights become more and more persuasive.
As a domestic animal, Black Beauty was continuously sold from one family to another. Over the years Beauty enjoyed good masters but also endured mean ones. Sometimes, he was cared for and at other times tortured. In the end, everything turns out all right in a story that is so tender and yet meaningful. His story was so vivid that caught the readers’ heart. The novel brought people laughter and tears and also enlightened them to understand animals at the same time.
Animals cannot speak so understanding is significant to them. Once, for example, Beauty was drawing the carriage to a wooden bridge. The bridge was flooded out in the river and John, the groom, was not aware that it was cracked. But the quickly realized that something was wrong because of Beauty’s abnormal behavior. Momentarily, a man shouted to them, “Stop! Stop!…The bridge is broken in the middle. If you come across, you’ll fall in the river!” Beauty had saved John. However, if John had not tried to understand what Beauty wanted to tell him, there would definitely have been an accident. I learnt from the story that understanding animals is not only essential to them but is also beneficial to us ourselves.
"Black Steed" tells the story of a black pony. "He" lived happily in a mountain village and received good training from urination. As a horse, "he" knew that he should obey any order of his master. However, because of various circumstances, "he" was resold to another master, the fate of happiness began to change. I think the Black Steed is a black steed. It is very handsome. Its fur is fine and soft. It is shiny black. Its hooves are white and black. There is a white spot on its forehead, just like a shining star on the black sky. It is docile and obedient. It does whatever its master asks it to do, and never resists. It is also very smart and can understand the meaning of its master. It has great endurance and can carry several loads of goods for dozens of miles.
Horse is also an animal. No matter what animal he is, we should protect them. As the text says, we and animals belong to the same home. This land cannot be without animals, plants, or humans. We live in the same place as animals and plants, but now we are killing our friends. Do we have to kill our companions like this? We should protect animals here and create a beautiful home for animals, not a home full of death.
One day, my mother bought me a copy of "Black Steed". As soon as I got home, I read it with interest.
This book tells the story of the growth of Heibao, a horse who has experienced ups and downs and finally achieved happiness. Heibao served as a horse in the manor, pulled a van in the countryside, and pulled a cab in the streets of London. His life is the epitome of all kinds of horses in England. Many excellent qualities can be found in Heibao: loyalty, courage, kindness and intelligence. No matter how bad the environment is, Heibao doesn't give up his faith, work hard and maintain a good reputation. This is also what his mother taught him from childhood.
After reading this book, I understand the implication of "black horse": perseverance can succeed. Really. My mother likes to be clean and often cleans silently at home. I think I should do something, so before the new year, I also took the initiative to undertake the task of mopping the floor. I had a lot of trouble dragging the floor, but I felt very proud. Dad came up to me and told me it wasn't clean. So I began to drag it seriously on the ground with a mop. After a while, I thought it was very clean and went to do other things. At this time, my mother came over and said to me, "some places are not very clean and need to be processed." I was a little angry. I thought my parents were too picky and quit in anger. My mother asked me patiently: "Do you know why you spend so much effort on mopping the floor, but the effect is not good? The problem lies in your mop. Because your mop is dirty for a while, but you continue to mop. When the floor is dry, you should wash the mop immediately after dragging for a while, so that it will be clean even once. Also, young men should have the measure of accepting criticism with an open mind and persistence Unremitting spirit. " I listened to my mother's words, nodded and did it without discouragement. Finally I dragged the floor so that I could see my little face. I smiled knowingly.
In my study, I also want to learn from Heibao. I don't give up my faith. I also want to study hard and become the pillar of the motherland in the future. I want to work hard to read all kinds of useful books, such as "wisdom backpack" and "soul chicken soup". These books can let me understand the truth in life and make myself a knowledgeable person.
After reading "Black Steed", I also realized that our life is as rich and colorful as a book, and let me understand the truth that perseverance can succeed.
After reading "Black Steed", I took the image of "Black Steed" as a symbol of fate for the first time. In the sad and beautiful cup of that ancient ballad or novel, the black horse is silent, which runs through the whole article. It seems that we are always full of curiosity and quietly look at our destiny. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet, hope) from this perspective, Baiyin McGonagall seems to be an experiencer, a metaphor for people struggling in such a realistic quagmire and painfully recalling the life of their dreams when they were young. The theme of the article may be close to "the grasp of fate".
However, after a deep grasp of the classical beauty, desolation and blood stained grassland exposed in the sentence, you will find that this article must not easily climb to the height of survival and life. But we should integrate all the wet fresh grass, a ray of brilliant sunshine and all the thick yurts described by the writer. The author's experience of jumping the queue in Inner Mongolia for 12 years makes the background of this work greater and deeper than other writers of the same era, which is given by the magical term "Grassland". Similarly, when talking about society, life and destiny, the grassland shows the direct and frank treatment between herdsmen, can implement the sanctity of faith in the hearts of people living in this land, and can paint the eternal, ancient and profound green on the dark destiny.
With respect and thinking about the grassland, I read the book again and found new keywords such as "life". "Life" is precious. Anyone can say that. But seeing the white haired old man trembling, he wiped the newly born stable with his sleeve. When I saw the mother walking slowly with her dry child on her back silently, the lonely figure knelt on the intestines of the sky, and the value of life seemed to be instantly submerged in the bone marrow. I think the most beautiful moment in life is the moment when other lives cause waves. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet, life) at this time, both lives are with a holy aura, watched by Tengger (Mongolian "God"). From this moment on, one life is given a new meaning, just as another life is given an informal mysterious key. Use this key to open a new life.
Maybe this key gave women on the grassland the courage to survive. Herdsmen are simple but stupid, and do not know how to cherish their other half. But childbirth is inevitable. Women on the grassland announce their maturity and flight with the birth of new life. When men go out to herd, women generously devote their efforts to other lives. It is this maternal power that brings new expectations and beginnings to mothers. It has accumulated from generation to generation and has become a human roar equivalent to the voice of golden goblins and iron horses on the grassland.
This perfect cry should be part of the grassland spirit. It is pure and almost free of impurities. Even cherish their own killing and other lives. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet) this is a howl of humanity and compassion. Today, with the gradual disappearance of nomads and grasslands, they begin to fade. Read it in this book, William, but welcome it in my heart again. (on the other hand).
I prefer to read black horse this holiday. She was written by Anna Seville in England. There is a sentence written on it: read the ups and downs of animals and taste the good, evil, beauty and ugliness of life.
On the cover of the book, we can see a handsome black horse, raising its front hoof and standing behind it! Chapter 1 "my early home" this is the first place it stayed. The owner of the ranch is very gentle. Although he was stoned by the man, the man involved was dismissed. In addition, he lives very leisurely in this happy ranch.
The original text said, "the master is a gentle and kind person. He makes us eat well and live well. He speaks very kindly to us, just as he speaks to his own children. We all like him very much, and his mother loves it from her heart." After that, it was sold to a new home, where the owner was also very kind, and there were several good friends. In this factory, it also felt very comfortable.
It has been sold many times in a row and has been in contact with all kinds of people. There are drunkards who get angry with horses when they drink too much, Coachmans who whip him at every turn, barbarians who use animals as machines, and good families who use animals as friends. The black horse survived all kinds of hardships and finally managed to have a good destination.
I like this book very much, because this book sees the good and evil, beauty and ugliness of human beings and the ups and downs of human life from the perspective of animals. We can see through all kinds of life. The world is also human. Some people are good to horses, while others regard horses as machines. Some people cherish life, while others ignore life and ruin their lives.
What I prefer is to compare the sentence on the next page: my story is over here, my suffering is over, and I have a home again. I often fantasize that I am still standing under the apple tree with my old friends in portville's orchard.
This book is a book about animals. It tells the story of a horse named black horse pulling different carriages and experiencing different lives.
When the black steed was young, it was very cute. It stayed happily with its mother.
Soon, it was four years old, and the owner took it to training. Its owner has always been very gentle to it.
This is the most moving paragraph for me: John is his groom. One night, he rode a black horse and ran as fast as he could. They had to run eight miles altogether. They had to give the note to Dr. white and tell him that his mistress was very ill. They ran across the manor, across the village, across the hillside, to the gate of the toll station. After a rest, they continued to run and finally found the doctor. That night, the little boy in charge of taking care of the black horse made a small mistake and made it sick, but it still performed very well. The doctor said that if they were ten minutes late, their hostess might not be able to save. This really moved me.
The black steed also made many good friends in other manors, including spicy ginger, sir Oliver and many other ponies.
I think the life of Black Steed is really very happy. I like that it has been struggling with fate tenaciously, and finally has a good family and a happy life.
This winter vacation, I read a novel about animals - "Black Steed".
"Black horse" is written by British writer Anna? In Sewell's works, he observes the good and evil, beauty and ugliness of the world from the perspective of black horses. It mainly talks about a superior black horse that broke its knee in an accident. Since then, it has been resold many times, tasted the cold and warmth of the world, and met many people: liars, thieves, Coachmans, Londoners... Fortunately, the black horse was finally sold to a manor, and the owner promised never to sell it.
There are many touching plots in black steed. What impresses me most is such a plot: a small bridge was broken by the flood. At night, the black horse pulled the carriage to cross the bridge, and the owner sat on the carriage. As soon as the black horse set foot on the bridge, it felt wrong. No matter how the owner scolded, the black horse didn't want to take a half step forward. Finally, the administrator across the bridge told the owner the truth. The host was very pleased. After reading this, I am really proud of the black horse and marvel at its intelligence. As the book says, "you have to admit that animals are much better than humans in some ways." I even want to have such a smart and excellent horse to accompany me day and night.
But what happened after the black horse made me very sad.
Since breaking his knee, the black horse has become a coolie. Once, a black horse pulled a freight carriage. In order to "Dora run fast", the cruel coachman kept moving goods to the carriage, which was close to the limit of the horse. Finally, the black horse could not climb halfway up the slope, and the coachman beat the black horse with a whip. At this time, a young lady came down from the opposite carriage, grabbed the coachman's whip, severely scolded the coachman, and helped the coachman unload some of the goods from the carriage. At this moment, my heart was full of complex feelings: anger at the coachman; There is praise for the young lady; And sympathy for the black horse
Although the book has been read, human love for animals will never end. Although animals can't express, they have their own views on things and know how to be grateful. I believe that as long as we treat animals well, they will certainly repay humans, and may get unexpected results.
"Black Steed" is a beautiful superior black horse. He lived in a noble family since childhood. He has received good training. He is gentle, kind, smart and witty. His master likes him very much.
But the good times didn't last long. The owner's house changed and the black horse had to be sold. He has been sold many times in a row and has met many people: drunkards who take their horses out of anger after drinking wine, barbarians who don't take animals seriously, Coachmans who always use the whip, and good families who treat animals as friends The black steed has tasted the ups and downs of the world.
People should know how to treat others, others will treat you, and animals are the same. Animals are good friends of mankind.
Suppose you are a horse, how do you feel about human being treating you like this?
If there were no animals in the world, the earth would lose its luster! Don't treat animals as toys. They have life like humans.
This summer vacation, I read a story between myself and the horse, called "Black Steed".
This book tells about a horse with excellent quality, named black steed. He was happy when he was a child, but he was forced to leave his happy home for various reasons. Later, he was resold many times and came into contact with many people: drunkards who beat horses when drunk, barbarians who beat horses only with whips, and barbarians who don't treat animals as things But in the end, the black horse was discovered by the former groom green and finally enjoyed his old age.
We should love horses in our life. Sometimes horses bite you when they go crazy. Adults and children sometimes quarrel and even move the board. If both adults and children have a good temper like a black horse, it is impossible to quarrel and fight. Black Steed has a good life because of his good temper. We must learn from black steed!
After reading this book, I will benefit immensely. In the future, I will also learn the good temper of black steed, because temper may change your life.
"Black Steed" is the story of a black steed. It is a good horse with a gentle temperament and no complaint. Coupled with its professional training, it has become a "BMW". Heili experienced a lot of things, with a short rein; Meet a kind Master; I have also met owners who bully animals; Have been to horse city
It was a BMW, but it was destroyed by an alcoholic. He injured his knee and was taken to the ranch to sell it. Later, the owners who bought it worked as an ordinary horse.
Ginger in the book is grumpy because of people, because some people think animals have no feelings. In fact, animals also have feelings. The black horse in the book saved the owner's life. Do animals have no feelings? People are also animals. What would you do if you put people in the zoo? If you are good to animals, animals will not be bad to you. If there are only people left in the world, will people survive? God gives you life, but he doesn't give you the right to hurt other animals.
The book "Black Steed" shows that animals are just like people
