Tolstoy And Jon Muth: A Comparative Analysis
In the Tolstoy's version of the story their was only three main people for this story, but in the Jon Muth's version there is four main animals. For the first question of what we think about the question of who is the most person, I was going to say that the person you are with at that time should feel important and you can make them feel like you care, they should feel comfortable talking to you. In both stories they have the same question they wondered and they all got answered the same way. Both of the stories share the same themes and morals but they were expressed in their own way, because in one story their were animals and the other story was people. I would have talked more about how I felt about the three questions they asked, because

    The narrators in, Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground and Lu Xun’s Diary of a Madman, represent the harsh realities of the world that the public is either too afraid or too unwilling to hear. It seems as though both narrators themselves have characteristics that make them appear mad. Their rants are about either the barbaric nature and declination of society or the cannibalistic nature of the government. Whatever the case may be, they appear mad because the society in which they live in is mad. This alters their perspective, rendering themselves equally mad as their respective societies. The two narrators are simply a product of their environment; the former, destroys society through barbarism and ignorance while the latter describes…

    War; A state of usually open and declared hostile conflict between states or nations - the definition of war defined by The Merriam Webster. Throughout history there has been thousands - if not millions - of wars; fought through both violence and peace. Since 1900 there has been roughly 500 major wars or conflicts; a shockingly-low 19 of the 500 have fought without violence. Despite the common cries of people saying violence is never the answer, violence is ironically the very reason why today (2015) a majority of the world is at peace and citizens are granted rights and freedoms. Since the end of the first World War in 1917, people all over the globe commemorate the 11th of November every year as it marks the signing of the Armistice between Allied forces and Germany. Often ignored however; are all the lives…

    During the 1860’s and 1870’s Russia had a growing underground movement of young, intelligent people growing discontent with the social and political disadvantages that the country was going through. Many in the government, especially the Tsar Alexander II was trying to curve revolutionary sentiment by reforming the government and introducing new measures to improve Russian society. To many young Russians that grew disaffected they saw the reforms as being too little too late and that further radical action was necessary. The writings of the Nihilist Girl show a profound disillusionment in young people during the reign of Alexander II and his reforms that also affected the nobility. This disillusionment would manifest itself in young people…

    Dostoyevsky alludes to Buddhist philosophy in the ridiculous man’s dream. The ideas of everyone living happily, helping one another selflessly, and acting unattached all follow the most basic Buddhist teachings. The dream people are free from suffering because “they [desire] nothing… because their lives [are] full” (Dostoyevsky 730). They not only live without attachment, but beyond unattachment in an enlightened state of love and in “ “collective virtue…[which contributes] equally to the common good, including the happiness of all” as Mahayana Buddhism teaches according to Gordon Davis’ essay, Traces of consequentialism and non-consequentialism in bodhisattva ethics (275). The community does not feel pity for any of its members, only compassion.…

    Analysis of Joseph Stalin

    The website http://www.sparknotes.com/biography/stalin/ I found was called "Spark Notes" It was found using search terms "analysis of Joseph Stalin". After pouring through dozens of websites, I decided on this particular site for its clarity and depth of information on Stalin. It provides personal and political insights, expanding on the terminology surrounding his reign. The format of this website is very user friendly. The information is presented in clear, concise text. I liked that it provided text as well as a timeline of his life and events surrounding his political regime. This style supports different types of learners. I checked a couple of the facts on the webpage with facts found in our own textbook, and it appears to be a legitimate factual website. The best of the site was its clarity, but a con was that the reader has to contend with visual ads on either sides of the text. I did not find a way to print out just the text (which was covered in several pages via a "next" button. This con made reading the material a little choppy. In the end I highlighted and copied the text into a single document so I could read through it without all the clutter. The level of information was definitely more than found on most other sites. It analyzed Stalin as a family man and as a politician. As such, it was easy for the reader to gleam many facts about Stalin that may have been unmentioned in a historical text. I will definitely refer to this site for future reference, and have bookmarked it under my favorites.…

    Rise of Stalin

    • 532 Words

    A primary factor that led to the rise of Stalin was due to the weakness of Leon Trotsky, who was one of the strongest competitors that Stalin faced in succeeding Lenin as leader of the Communist Party. However, there are actions taken by Trotsky that weakened himself as an opposition. For example, Trotsky believed in permanent revolution, and he sought to promote and incite revolutions all over the world. However, he failed to convince his fellow Party members of his idea of world revolution. In addition, Trotsky only had the most of his support from the Red Army that he was leading. Therefore, the dividing believe that Trotsky had of permanent revolution, which would result in wars and chaos, did not gain any support as members of the Communist Party was war-weary. Furthermore, since the major decisions was made by the Party members, the soldiers in the Red Army, who supports Trotsky, did not have any say to whom was to succeeding Lenin as leader of the Communist Party. Henceforth, Stalin was seen as a more suitable leader of the Communist Party.…

    While George Orwell’s Animal Farm is best known as an expertly written allegory about the Russian Revolution of 1917 disguised as a humorous story about the Manor Farm it also criticizes both totalitarianism as well as communism as a whole. In Animal Farm, the animals working on Manor Farm have grown tired of working in conditions they deem as unfavorable and deplorable that their owner, Mr. Jones, has subjected them to. This hatred is conveyed and described early on in the novella during a speech Old Major gives to his fellow farm animals in chapter one stating, “our lives are miserable, laborious, and short… we are given
just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us 
who are capable of it are forced to work to…

    Ivan The Terrible Analysis

    In every scene of a country’s life, there has always been a leader at the forefront of it all. Many countries have flourished under the good leaders while they have been destroyed by the bad ones. However, the question that begs to be asked is what is a leader and where are they usually found? According to John C. Maxwell, a leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. Leaders know the way and since they know the way, they would have to test it out and when that particular method has been proven and tested, they would show the way to their followers. Leadership is not only found in the governing bodies of a country; they are also found within the church. Each church must have a pastor who leads the church.…
