For Neda Character Analysis

Personal Response for Definition – “Revolution”
10/12/2012
“For Neda” Neda was a free spirited individual who was against, and even rebelled against the complete government control of Iran who unfortunately lost her life because of it. As the filmed mentioned a few times, she was a rebel. In my eyes she was not a rebel in a negative way, but a rebel in a way that she wanted to be able to show her individuality, her own personal style, and did not want to be under the complete control and dictatorship of the Iranian regime. She stood for independence, individuality, and a free-spirit lifestyle that we are so very fortunate of in this country. She unfortunately lost her life because of her desire for independence as a woman, in my opinion she was assassinated, it was not just a random act of violence that claimed her life but rather a cold blooded murder! I believe that she was targeted! As the film stated she was an extremely beautiful woman, and beautiful woman like Neda are

One voice can only be heard so far, but thousands and even millions of voices are heard much louder and much further. A revolution is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. The video clearly demonstrates a revolution in Iran with the citizens banding together to stand up for their independence and freedom. The For Neda movement, or in my eyes – revolution, occurred so quickly and spread not just through Iran, but all around the world within days and even hours. It just shows you how powerful and strong the human race really is, race, color and religion aside, we are all humans and are entitled to basic human rights. Sadly, that is not the case in far too many countries and regimes for this day in

Finny lives in action always moving, playing, challenging others to join him. Finny's game of blitzball, for example, expresses his essential nature with its spontaneous style of play and its rules made up on the run.…

    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…

    Considering the fact that Roberta is another race, Twyla is stereotypical at first, based on her mother, Marys opinion about other races. She thought, ... one of the things she said was that they never washed their hair and they smelled funny (201), so before really knowing Roberta, she assumes she smells funny. I would say Twyla is more focused on race rather than friendship in the beginning of the story, because of what her mother has told her. Not long after meeting, Roberta and Twyla became the best of friends. Twyla began to look pass race for a moment and say, So for that moment it didnt matter that we looked like salt and pepper standing there...…

    We always take for granted what we have in the United States; criticizing every little thing that doesn’t go our way… the women in Iran had everything they loved taken away. We all have dreams of being able to do what we want. The first and most prominent difference Iranian women had to endure would be that they were forced to wear a chador, under all conditions no matter how unbearable the weather was. Women in Tehran had little or no freedom outside of their houses. Azar Nafisi (author) was taking a huge risk with her seven women students, she invited them into her house to discuss literature, if caught she could be put in jail because books they discussed were banned; fearing that they would cause a conspiracy. When heading to University the women would have to step aside and be checked to make sure they didn’t have anything ‘illegal’ on them , often making them late for class, while the men just walked right on in not a word was said. If the women attending university were not veiled they would not be allowed inside, losing their right to education (Nafisi was expelled for not wearing the veil). Mr. Bahri, a co-worker of Nafisi’s was in a meeting with one of her students and asked her why she would want to put the revolution at risk…

    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said that “the battle line between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.” East of Eden is a novel written by twentieth century author John Steinbeck. The Viking Press published it in 1952. The narration takes place from 1862 to 1918, mostly in the Salinas Valley, although some episodes happen in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

    Violent revolutions have been the most effective way to bring about change dating back to the American Revolution in the late 1700s. While analyzing this ferocious rebellion, it is revealed that all of the American’s non-violent attempts to compromise with Britain failed, and that it took a bloody eight year war for the Americans to finally separate from Britain. Violent revolutions are not only more effective, but easier to pull off. The Iranian government was a well known institution that used fear to prevent successful non-violent revolutions from happening, by executing innocent kids who spoke up against the government. “Between 1980 and 1983, the government had imprisoned and executed so many high-school and college students that we no…
