Chapter Summary Of Chapter 5 Of Lenin's '

Improved Essays
So far we’re through chapter 5 and we’ve learned about a couple characters so far who seem like they will be predominant throughout the book. Those characters are Bernard, The Director, and Lenina.
We start the book to more of an indirect characterization of The Director when he is walking the college students through a tour of the D.H.C. Through this tour we can learn about how The Director is so very proud of his work and how he even may see himself like a god in a way. The quote ““Ninety-six identical twins working ninety-six identical machines!” The voice was almost tremulous with enthusiasm.” shows his passion for the system. Pretty quickly we can see that he is very proud of this system that has been created. Some more direct characterization can be seen through the quote “Tall and rather thin but upright, the Director advanced into the room. He had a long chin and big rather prominent teeth, just covered, when he was talking, by his full, floridly curved lips.” which also can support my theory of how he feels he is so far above others. I see this helping the idea because we now know he's this tall towering person which gives me the feeling a of godly like man. The next character I want to talk about is Lenina. Pretty quickly again we learn about how Lenina can seem as a self conscious person and how she seems like she is very caught up in her personal imagine. One of the multiple reasons for this can be seen a couple pages into chapter 3 when Lenina is talking to Fanny about how she “ought to have [her] first Pregnancy Substitute at seventeen.” and that she thinks “[she’s] really two years late, not two years early” When Fanny tries to suggest that she doesn’t need it yet. This example can

Have y’all seen any others? For example I’m still a little confused who Mustapha Mond is. Let me know if y’all know anything I don’t or see something big I missed about the characters I talked

    The process of discovering the ideological foundations of power systems in the world is profoundly linked to how gaining such knowledge is a product of transformation in both individuals and groups. This is evident in Guevara’s The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) and Becker’s tragicomic film Goodbye Lenin! (2003) where both protagonists and their environments undergo a process of political-self reflection. As Guevara encounters Latin American poverty he embraces communism and similarly, the protagonist in Becker’s film experiences political discovery as he preserves life in the GDR in order to keep the fall of the Berlin Wall as a secret to his ill mother.…

    Part A: Boyer’s (1998) article argues that the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx is only relevant within the historical context of the 1840s, and not in any other decade of the 19th century. Boyer (1998) then agues that the primary thesis of this argument is that Marx wrote this document during the “hungry” 1840s, which defines a unique period of economic collapse as a timeframe in which communism was an increasingly common idea in the development of European political ideologies (151). More so, the thesis of Boyer’s (1998) article seeks to defame the Communist Manifesto by showing its relationship to the severe economic events of the 1840s, as well as defining how this type of economic collapse was the only time in European history in which…

    If one were to have asked a Russian peasant what revolution means to them, they might answer samovol’shchina, or, translated “doing what you want.” In Sheila Fitzpatrick’s book The Russian Revolution she traces three broad themes through the course of the revolution that existed before 1917 and would continue until about the time of 1934. She examines the class struggle that was an important part of the revolution as well as the leadership that lead the Russian citizens through these tumuloous decades and she also examines the modernization that Russia experienced. Fitzpatrick breaks her book down in a chronological order in which she spends her introduction writing about the immediate events that happened prior to the outbreak of the revolution so that the reader, whether an undergraduate student, graduate student or just a fan of Russian history, can gain a true understanding of the air of change that was happening in…
