“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.

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.

　　《黑骏马》中文读后感

《黑骏马》，相信许多人都读过这本书，它被称为“第一部真正的动物小说”，是安娜·西维尔出版的唯一一部著作。下面我就来说说《黑骏马》一书的具体内容和我的读后感。

《黑骏马》采用第一人称，从纯种良马”黑宝”的视角娓娓道来,讲述一匹历尽坎坷终获幸福的马的故事.黑宝血统纯正,出生在贵族的庄园里,它天性温顺，善良聪明，而且从小就受到了精心的训练.因为生活中一个又一个的变故,黑宝被多次卖掉，经历了各种各样的生活环境,又遭遇了形形色色的人，饱尝了世间的酸甜苦辣。小说细腻地描绘了黑宝的心理，生动表现了它的喜怒哀乐。作者在刻画动物形象的同时，也审视了人类的性格品质和对待动物的态度，探讨了人与动物和谐共处的可能。

文中的黑宝是幸运的。幼年时，它过的无忧无虑，它有着美好的环境和关心自己的妈妈,并且还有一位慈善的主人。长大了，它来到了波特维克庄园，这便是它的第二个家，这个家里没有坏人，只有好人。它的马夫是约翰，主人是戈登先生，还有一位小伙子叫詹姆斯，他们个个都是懂行的人，约翰还发明了一种药，叫“波特维克丸药”，做法是把“耐心”，“温柔”，“毅力”和“抚爱”每各取一公斤混在一起,再加进小半升“常识”，调和而成。我们都为黑宝有这样的一个好主人而开心，可人的命运况且不可能是一帆风顺的，更何况是马呢?因为戈登先生的太太得了重病，到了一个温暖国家去疗伤原因，它被送到了爵府，遇到了可怕的短缰绳，还有一名醉马夫，把它折腾得生不如死之后，又变成了出租马的生活，尝尽了苦、辣、酸。到了最后，苦尽甘来，在拍卖会上被一名老乡绅买了回来，通过在波特维克庄园工作的小马夫乔·格林会到了戈登一家，黑宝最终在经历波折之后有了一个温暖、可爱的家。

读完之后，整个故事给人一种高兴与气愤的感觉，气愤的是文中的一些人轻视动物，随便残害它们，虐待它们。高兴的是有着许多像戈登先生一样的人，他们强力反对这种情况，并做一些力所能及的事去善待动物和保护动物，我们应该向他们学习。请记住，动物也是有感情的、有生命的，它们是我们人类的好朋友！
