Thanks to Sewell, I now think about the animalhuman relationship from both the human and the animal

2、s point of view.The inspiration for Anna Sewells 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

3、. 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 understandi

4、ng 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 books huge success. Black Beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had be

5、en 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 peoples attention to horses hard l

6、ife, 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 horses mouth, literally, as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering. People were shocked by

7、 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

8、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

9、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, B

10、eauty 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 Beautys abnormal behavior. Momentarily, a man shouted to them, “Stop! Stop!The bridge is bro

11、ken in the middle. If you come across, youll 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 a

12、lso beneficial to us ourselves.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 cor

13、ner 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 didnt give me a chance to understand what they wanted.”Poor Ginger, kindness was all she needed. She was frightened se

14、riously 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 horse

15、s. 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 peoples scope from only

16、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 wh

17、en he cant 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 dont people cut their own children s ears to make them

18、 look lovely?” Asked the poor dog angrily.Yes, why cant 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,
