RATIONALE I wrote a diary about Lenina’s thoughts in the Brave new world society. As a principal character, Lenina represents a model citizen that always follows its policies. But I think that inside herself she has desires and disagreements with it. Bernard´s behavior mentally confuses her, because he was always complaining about the governments ' ideologies and opposing to take soma. Which was dangerous because she likes him. The tone I use is informal and hopes to reach school students and adults audience. I use simple language to make Lenina’s ideas, feelings, and desires easier to understand. For example, it contains phrases that express her constant changes of humor like, “Soma controls me, it gives me a superficial happiness…” or “I …show more content…
I choose to write a diary because I believe people thoughts ideas and feelings are essential to describe a society, so through Lenina’s intimate thoughts, the audience can have a different opinion of her. I also think that a diary is a way to freely express what we might not say out loud. I link my diary with the topic of social relationships because it shows how a government can affect its citizen’s life. A.F Dear Diary: Soma is an escape from this horrible world, it gives me a feeling of happiness that is hard to describe when I take it everything is fine but then, when the effects are gone the reality drags me. A normal day for me is to work, date guys, go to parties and take soma. Today something amused me, the new guy Bernard talked to me he seems like a normal citizen and when he started to question the government I was shocked. I realize that he was different, I saw it in his eyes he is uncomfortable living in this world. I agree and would like to tell him my desires but he can’t know that I hate this world too, it is dangerous to talk about it in front of people. Soma keeps me on the right path, makes me say and do the right
By taking advantage of this anger, the author stirred up a strong sense of pride through invoking patriotism. The final goal of these emotions is to mask his blaming of unconnected parties, the Jews and Marxists. With pathos, he successfully caused the lapses in his logic to go by unnoticed and he further built his
When I was younger, I kept a diary and wrote in it every day. Within that diary, I would write down the events that would take course within my day, including how I felt. My diary contained all my secrets and thoughts and ultimately it was a form of expression for me. This is true for most of the people who have a diary or journal themselves. Since a diary is a way for people to let out all their thoughts and feelings instead of holding them in.

The Russian government treated the working class terribly, leading to several protests and boycotts. S.I. Somov was a Russian Soviet who shared his emotions on his overwhelming experience in the demanding Soviet working class. At a protest, he wrote that there was a “...mystical, religious ecstasy...” that peppered the angry workers who fought for their freedom from the exhausting chains of overwhelming labor and inhumane working conditions (Document 4). He added that the working class was deprived of a lively human soul, and their bitterness and dissatisfaction had “overflowed.” Somov was a worker himself, who first hand experienced the cruelty described and developed his own reasonable emotions towards the topic.
Post WWl, Russia was still not industrialized, suffering economically and politically and in no doubt in need of a leader after Lenin’s death. “His successor, Joseph Stalin, a ruthless dictator, seized power and turned Russia into a totalitarian state where the government controls all aspects of private and public life.” Stalin showed these traits by using methods of enforcement, state control of individuals and state control of society. The journey of Stalin begins now.
Lenin was the answer to the Russian citizens’ prayers, and, as seen by this excerpt from one of his speeches, embodied the beliefs of the Russians at the
In analysis of Vera Figner’s Memoirs of a Revolutionist, Figner expressed a few political goals that led her to assume violence as the only answer to the economic, political, and social injustices forced upon the peasants, by the government authority and Russian traditions. All of Figner’s energy was spent in effort to achieve these goals at any cost. These goals were to use influential propaganda, to educate the peasants1, and to kill the Tsar. All of which, were used to motivate a peasant uprising, to remove2 the suppressive Tsarist regime and to give birth to democratically3 free institutions4. To justify her violent means, she used her personal belief that there were no other peaceful ways, that they had not tried, to provide liberty and justice for the peasants.5
In Brave New World Aldous Huxley uses Lenina's contradictions to undermine the so called utopia of the World State, and to show how ignorance can alter the judgement of ethics and morality. In the beginning, Huxley sets Lenina as naïve and almost idiotic character for the audience to view. Lenina is meant
Bernards alienation because of his physique and his enrichment from his different moral views illuminates the meaning of the novel overall which is the definition of freedom. The utopia in the novel puts a lot of emphasis on conformity and discourages individuality, which is something Bernard doesn’t follow the rules of. As seen in a conversation in chapter 6 with Bernard and Lenina, Lenina insists that the society has a great deal of freedom represented by soma and its hypnotic state. The author uses this technique to show the reader that the true definition of freedom is not conformity and obedience, instead, it’s the independence to be an individual apart from the rest of

Lenina had slept with most of the men she saw in room and was very popular among the men. She was seen as a sex object. Again in chapter 3 on page 51 Bernard becomes upset as he overhears a conversation about

Akhmatova’s melancholic diction initially reveals her sorrow, but the tone transitions to serious and introspective when she uses allusions to religious martyrdom and imagery of fixed objects. These contemplations are later resolved when she integrates imagery of liberation to portray an ultimately triumphant and optimistic outlook towards the future. Within the first sections, Akhmatova employs melancholic diction to convey her grief. In “Prologue,” she writes “that [Stalin’s Great Purge] was a time when only the dead could smile” (Prologue, Line 1), which suggests it was preferable to die than to live and emphasizes her despondency.
