- 691: Animal Farm: Political Issues
- ... since 1917(Meyers 103). Orwell uses actual historical events to construct Animal Farm, but rearranges them to fit his plot. Manor Farm is Russia, Mr. Jones the Tsar, the pigs the Bolsheviks who led the revolution. The humans represent the ruling class, the animals the workers and the peasants. Old Major, the inspiration of the rebellion, is a combination of Marx, the chief theorist and Lenin, the actual leader(Meyers 105). Old Major dies before the rebellion just as Lenin did in the Russian revolution. In actuality Stalin and Trotsky argue over power after Lenin's death, which Orwell satirizes in Napolean and Snowball. In Animal Farm, Orwell immediately establishes the Soviet political allegory as Old Major (Marx/Lenin) describes ... of the decay of communist notions of a perfect state, but also as Orwell's more general comment on the decline of true liberty and equality in the west (Gardner 99). The progress of the revolution from a common idealism to a state system of leader, police, and workers happens rather rapidly. The animals take over the farm and the pigs ( Bolsheviks ) emerge as natural organizers. The pigs rduce the ...

These conditions led ... of laissez-faire and the division of labor, Smith opened the way for industrialization and the emergence of modern capitalism in the 19th century. His ideas provided the ideological and intellectual background for the Industrial Revolution that transformed society and the world. The character of the industrialization process included the introduction of mechanical power to replace human and animal power in the production of goods and services. Nevertheless, as the mechanization ... capitalism, in which land and capital is owned collectively, by society, and that the products of the system should be distributed according to need.

the soldiers' uniforms splendid though (and that's a historic fact) idiotically ornate and impractical for warfare. It wasn't until about 1916 that the British and the French saw the light and stopped wearing all that Day-Glo, easy target colors" (Prof. Jahiel). For example, at the beginning of the movie, Magua killed one soldier marching in the line, and the guy next ... Patterson). Professor Jahiel states that the old forts, cannons, and encampments are all painstakingly genuinized. I think the central action or event would be the lives of Hawk-eye and Magua. The English and the French were responsible for the war, which brought them together, but as enemies. "The war creates a myriad of conflicts -- military, personal, tribal and romantic. In addition to rival Waddington, Day- Lewis must contend with ...
- 695: Arthur Koestler Darkness At No
- ... in 1938, where forty-eight of the fifty-four on the executive of the Communist Party were dead. All members of the party knew that Lenin and Trotsky had been the real leaders of the Revolution and consequently they did not accept Stalin as the successor to Lenin. So accordingly, as Stalin was aware of the aspirations against him, as he consolidated power it became more dangerous to have known Lenin ... their followers (in expediency to the Party). Rubashov, as a loyal follower of Marx and Lenin, realized that his utopia could no longer exist, and that the Party no longer represented the interests of the Revolution or the masses. Now, as Rubashov understands his fate and the fate of the party, he is haunted by guilt. However this guilt does not correspond with his accusation, as he is accused of counter-revolutionary agitation on behalf of foreign power and of participating in a conspiracy to murder No.1 (Stalin) . Rubashov, being forced to confess to his false crimes, does so as duty to the revolution but moreover as he feels that he has done wrong and deserves to pay. His accusers have no proof but insist that the acts of conspiracy against Stalin are the only logical consequence of ...

The third five-year plan began in 1966, but both agricultural and industrial production were severely curtailed by the effects of the Cultural Revolution; a fourth five-year plan was introduced in 1971 as the economy began its recovery.

- 697: Existentialism in the Early 19th Century
- ... human beings do not have a fixed nature, or essence, as other animals and plants do; each human being makes choices that create his or her own nature. In the formulation of the 20th-century French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre, existence precedes essence. Choice is therefore central to human existence, and it is inescapable; even the refusal to choose is a choice. Freedom of choice entails commitment and responsibility. Because individuals ... in the thought (and life) of Socrates, in the Bible, and in the work of many premodern philosophers and writers. Pascal The first to anticipate the major concerns of modern existentialism was the 17th-century French philosopher Blaise Pascal. Pascal rejected the rigorous rationalism of his contemporary Ren้ Descartes, asserting, in his Pens้es (1670), that a systematic philosophy that presumes to explain God and humanity is a form of pride.
