正如我们一直所说的，性格决定命运。拳王和茉莉截然不同的结局正是由他们的性格和生活方式所决定的。只会埋头苦干而不思考必定被时代所牺牲。自私自利，只追名逐利必将孤独终老。我们要像拳王一样努力勤奋但也要像茉莉一样有切合实际的追求。只有这样才能拥有幸福生活。

1 Introduction
The Animal Farm, an ironic parable-novel of the Soviets communism system, is the most remarkable satire by George Orwell. The book was chosen by Time Magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels, and won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996. The author adopted a form of parable to dig at human’s politics. Retelling the story of the emergence and development of Soviet communism in the form of an animal fable, Animal Farm allegorizes the rise to power of the dictator Joseph Stalin.
Most of the people are concerned about the politics in the farm. Deputy professor CHEN Si-ben from Southwest Jiaotong University believes that generally Animal Farm stands for any human society, be it capitalist, socialist, fascist, or communist. It possesses the internal structure of a nation, with a government (the pigs), a police force or army (the dogs), a working class (the other animals), and state holidays and rituals. Its location amid a number of hostile neighboring farms supports its symbolism as a political entity with diplomatic concerns.(2008:112) Deputy professor Pan Guangwei of Inner Mongolia Normal University believes that the story, which is based on a series of revolutions by the animals, criticizes the totalitarianism and it also intends to disclose the facts of the Soviets communism’s scathing autarchy. In the meanwhile, it satirizes England, France and other countries, which have diplomatic relations with Soviets.(2001:45) WANG Xueqin from Zhejiang University believes that Orwell demonstrates that selfishness, lust for power and corruption would lead to the disillusionment of human’s pursuit of freedom and equality in a classless society.( 2008:56)
After reading the Animal Farm, readers might think it is a general and funny story. However, having further analyzed the author’s writing motive, the writer of this essay has realized that these different animals in the animal farm have their own lifestyle, and it was that which lead to these various denouements. On that farm, Boxer and Mollie are two horses; however these two end in two distinct fates.
1.1 George Orwell
George Orwell was a well-known novelist, essayist and critic. He was born in Motihari, Bihar, India on 25 June 1903. After his family moved back to England in 1907, he began studies at Eton in 1917. In 1922, he served in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma and because he was disgusted with imperialism, the mounting dislike eventually led to his resignation in 1927. He, then, resolved to be a writer to show the ugly aspects of the Autarchy. George Orwell, a gentle, sympathetic man, was also a person full of inpidualism and idealism. So much did he detest tyranny that he was called “the wintry conscience of a generation”. In 1950, he died of tuberculosis at the age of 46. (Net.1)
