Connection Captain Part 5-6 (Week #3) Jonathan Gringauz Anthem
My initial impression on part 5-6 of Anthem is that one of the most important themes was that the whole society is based on the fact that, in order to make the world a better place, you have to work for others and with each other in mind to make a better society. An example of this in the book is earlier when it is said that in order for a society to function.This part of the book remind me of currently communist countries such as North Korea. They believe that everyone should have no more than the other. Even though it does not always work out correctly. But the base logic is that, in order to be a strong society and nation.

The second thing that I noticed in this book is that, contrary to what I said before about unity, I've realize that the second in comes to the so called "safety" of people or to the society, everyone acts radically And yet again, I can relate this to North Korea! For the sake of this argument, I am going to assume that you, the person reading this, has heard about the terrifying torture and murder stories. The same is present in the book anthem, when they tortue the main character util he gives up information. The book even describes how they wip at him. To finish off this last connection, both of these societies, have very hidden motives. Or to some people, the motives aren't hidden at all.

Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI like how you related your second paragraph with an example of what happens in North Korea. But you should add more about that instead of just saying one sentence about it. You should add some details about the tortures so people that don't know about them can understand and know what is happening. This is so they will understand and learn about it.
Also, you should add more about why both of these societies have hidden motives, instead of just concluding the paragraph. This is so we can understand why they have hidden motives.
Jonathan, great post and great connection. When reading your second connection where you connect to North Korea I think that North Korea is repeating history. The torture of all the people in the past because of religion and other things. In Anthem I have the feeling they are trying to prevent history from happening again but this example defeats they purpose. This is something to think about. Not only can this society not be trying to prevent history but instead just trying to hold it back for a while.
ReplyDeleteJonathan,
ReplyDeletelike Andrew I liked the way that you related the society of the book with North Korea, however nevertheless I think you did not show many examples of the torture and murder stories that you said there is in North Korea, although you gave good examples for the tortures there is in the society. I would add more reasons why North Korea and the society in the book have so much in common. despite that I really liked your post.
