George Orwell's The Lessons From Jonestown

Summary: This article is about a man named Jaime Prater who was born and raised in Jesus People USA (JPUSA), a religious community where the leadership clothes you, feeds you, educates you, and basically raises you. JPUSA were started by hippies who used to travel through the USA, but soon settled down in Chicago, and is now run by an authoritarian leader and councilship members. Jaime Prater was born into this community and thought of it as his family, but when he was 8 years old he was molested. He took it to the council, but they shut it down to stop spreading rumors and isolated him. In isolation, he felt lonely and scared for three and a half years, and left the comminity in his early 20’s after he realized that he didn’t belong.

In juxtaposition, Indian Horse and 1984 both have properties that are similar and different from each other. In Indian Horse, Saul uses writing as a means of survival of seeing what made him turn away from the pain of his rape and cease repressing its happening; for him to live on with his life. Saul writes memoirs to find the hidden answers of why he turned to violence and alcoholism and using them to break free of the cycle. From pages two to three Saul says “They say I can’t understand where I’m going if I don’t understand where I’ve been.

They offered the local people material benefits, “encouraged them with gifts of singlets and towels” (Achebe, 160), and offered the indigenous people jobs such as teachers to arouse them to convert their religions. The novel Things Fall Apart, written by Chinua Achebe, showed the readers how their culture and unity had fallen apart after a new religion, Christianity, was introduced. After the missionaries built church on the “evil forest” (Achebe, 130), where evil spirits and people with wicked diseases were buried, and survived. People started to feel dubious about their own religions and converted into Christianity, thinking that it was more powerful than their own religion. “That man was one of the greatest men in Umuofia.

Though many centuries apart Socrates and Assata Shakur both faces trail deaths based on their teaching. Socrates was charged because the government believed he was corrupting the youth. Assata Shakur's anti-government and pro-black stance made her a threat to the United States government. Both Socrates and Assata Shakur endured social injustice for crimes that they had not committed and had the option of seeking refuge to save themselves from inevitable death. Socrates believed that escaping his nearing death would be contradiction to his beliefs, ideas, and teachings.

Later, the journalist was caught upon a murder that happened. He wanted to know what was going on so he tried to trace and connect everything that was happening in the community and what he got was, the arranged marriage between Angela and her husband, which was what started the problem. She accused Santiago as a rapist and supposedly, he was the one who took her virginity away. Her brothers got in the situation and said all around the town that Santiago will soon be dead. In the end, Santiago was found dead.

My favorite part of the short story was the ending. It occured to the reader that humanity cannot survive with perfection so Georginana had to die. The first time that I read the story I did not really read into exactly why Georgiana died, I believed that it could have been the medication that Aylmer reacted with Georgiana’s skin and killed her but the second time that I read the story the real reason appeared to me. I also admired how Hawthorne developed his characters. In the beginning Aylmer was a scientist that only cared about his experiments, then he fell in love and stopped his scientific work, but then he found a reason to continue his scientific work which led to the death of his wife.

b) Did he succeed in that? In my opinion, he had a powerful effect on the Americans during these three parts, through his life, after his death, and these days. Firstly, through his life, King started his revolution when he moved to Montgomery. He made a bus boycott when a black woman was arrested, because she refused to give her seat to a white passenger.

While reading The Republic of Suffering, the author brought up the idea of religion and why it was so important in the Civil War. It governed how the soldiers wanted to die and helped the families back home, by providing them with wisdom and guidance in the hard times. International studies students would look at how religion shaped the events of the Civil War and analyze the final effects of this shift in religion identity on the modern world. The South today is known as the Bible belt, which shows how religion shaped the South during and after the Civil

Their intentions were clear and the way the rebelled against the system are similar, but their outcomes are different. Winston faded away and government covered up his rebellious acts where as Rosa Parks became a true leader. Both of these people had similar intention, to rebel against society. Rosa Parks was fed up with the way her people were being treated and the segregation policies on the buses.

(61) These two actions were Okonkwo’s fault, and were caused by his vulnerabilities. Because he lost his tribe and culture to the British missionaries and ended up committing suicide, Okonkwo’s punishment exceeded his crimes. Although his crimes were bad, he served his punishment for all of them. However, when he came back, Okonkwo’s tribe abandoned their culture for the Catholic one.

Malcolm X was killed in 1965, and Baldwin was in London at the time, but he found out shortly after. Gloria, Baldwin’s sister, answered the call and quickly relayed the message back to him. She said, “‘Well, I’ve got to tell you because the press is on its way over here. They’ve just killed Malcolm X.’” Baldwin went on to write about why the press was on its way to him, writing about how he was wrongly believed to have falsely accused innocent people of his murder (117-118). Malcolm X was a somewhat close companion of Baldwin during the Civil Rights Movement, but the death of a closer comrade impacted Baldwin much more.

In 1838 U.S. Secretary of war hired Fremont as a secondary lieutenant of a topographical engineering for the U.S. John C. Fremont lead five of the major expeditions into the American West. Fremont mapped in detail ways for future immigrants, his work also appealed to the Manifest Destiny. John was also one of the first Generals in the Civil war to try and free Southern slaves, this caused him to be seen as someone who disobeyed orders and needed to be reeled back in and focus on his job. Fremont resigned from his position in the war and joined the Republican group. There he became one of the first Republican candidates for the U.S. presidency.

The Narcos are mentioned because the mayor’s wife has a brother who is a Narco that might have a connection to the missing students. He makes us understand the government is a major part of the students disappearing by interviewing Gibler a journalist, Alejandro Paéz Varela a influential digital news site, and Solatinde human rights speaker. They all say their opinion on how the government is hiding information from the missing students parents and giving hope to them stated in article one “What causes less damage to the system?” Solalinde asked To say they [the students] were burned, with everything that implies? Or say they’re disappeared and that they don’t

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was born in 1948 in Pin Point Georgia. He is now a conservative and controversial judge although initially he had wanted to pursue a religious life as a priest. He was one of the first African American students to attend St. John Vianny’s. The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. was a turning point in Thomas’ life as he left the seminary and attended Holy Cross University, after overhearing another student make racist remarks about MLK. After graduating with a BA in English, Thomas was admitted to the Missouri Bar on September 1974 and shortly after began work in the office of the Missouri Attorney General.
