Essay on related themes of "Fahrenheit 451"-Ray Bradbury, "Night"-Elie Wiesel, and "Animal Farm"-George Orwell?
The Societal Tendency Toward Class Segregation The Corruption of Socialist Ideals in the Soviet Union Humanity Thinking For Itself Loss of Innocence Propaganda/Media These books are about socialism and how it controls everything. For instance, in Animal Farm the pigs steal the milk from the cows so they can drink it themselves and they get to sleep in the big house. They change the "Seven Commandments" to better fit what they want to do. And they say socialism is supposed to be fair! In Fahrenheit 451, the people aren't allowed to think for themselves, and the government controls every aspect of their lives. Bradbury is trying to stress that people think for themselves with politics, religion, etc., like how Animal Farm is also. In Animal Farm, only some of the animals can read and the ones that can kind of get what's going on - Orwell was trying to say that these educated animals had a clue about the reality of what the pigs/dictators were doing (such as when Boxer was being taken to the glue factory), and we should educate ourselves so we know what's right from wrong. Loss of innocence is because in Night, Elie was a young boy and he had to witness firsthand all of the horrible things that heppened. Also, in Animal Farm, when the animals watched the huge execution of the 'traitor' animals. Propaganda and media was a large part of Animal Farm - Squealer was this. He was the one that told his rendition of all the happenings and all of the other animals believed him.
At last, a question I can answer…Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore; Satire on the Catholic religion but it’s extremely funny and I’m in love with the love story in it.The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera; for those teens suffering with angst and are all pissed about life. Great book btw.1984 by George Borewell(Orwell); Great book which really changes your view about believing everything the media and government say. Some might find it boring but it is a quintessential read. Great and tragic love story in it too.Animal Farm also by Orwell; much more entertaining and teaches you a lot about humans and psychologically manipulating them into believing what you say. And the end scene is epic. Through anthropomorphism Orwell manages to comicaly illustrate/critique Soviet Russia and its leaders.The Count of Montecristo by Alexandre Dumas; Personal favourite. Amazing characters, scenes, political conflicts and a lot meticulously planned stuff by a madman. And for the love of god do not read an abridged version.The Stranger by Albert Camus; For those with that existential angst. Makes you question what society holds as moraly acceptable.This is a list of my personal favourites and also books that greatly impacted my life. But any of the classics will benefit you in some way though I find some of them a bit taxing to read. Here’s a list with most of the classics: https://www.google.com.mx/url?sa...This list is composed of books that are recommended for preparing for the AP Literature and Composition test (which I passed).
As a tween, I vowed to stay 5’2” just like Scarlett O’Hara.At 14 years old, I went into a psychiatric hospital for a few months. A neighbor brought me a gift: a copy of James Baldwin’s, Go Tell It On the Mountain and a copy of John Paul Sartre’s, Existentialism and Human Emotions. The Autobiography of Malcolm X followed.I forgot about trying to be cute and became captured by the idea of justice for African-Americans, with more than a hint of teenage existential dreariness, that I luckily outgrew. Before I hit 20, I had read all of the early African-American novels, poetry and essays. From Phyllis Wheatley to Paul Laurence Dunbar to W.E. Dubois and Frederick Douglass to Jean Toomer and Langston Hughes to Sutton Griggs to Countee Cullen.Since I am a Caucasian Jew by birth, one could posit many reasons for my choices. I won’t even try.
Possibly. Mainly because escapism is very popular and drugs can be easy to get.
