Paper Topic regarding We

In my paper I would like to talk about the perfect society idea. In the paper I would like to address the problems with a perfect society contained within the book and how it failed epically.. My three main points would be:

1) How controlling everyone in their society was their pitfall.
2) How by forcing everyone to think the same way they lacked diversity.
3) And finally, how today's society could lead to the one projected in We.

Hopefully, it will look a lot better on paper.

Alas, we will see.

Toodles.

Concluding We.

In the final pages of We I am forced to say goodbye to D-503. The soulful, sinful beast that represents the common beast in today's society. I strongly believe that We was a novel meant to make your mind stretch, calculate, form some sort of understanding that nothing is finite. Not even the universe. These records are clear and precise in showing readers that in a perfect world there are serious problems.

For one:
Not everyone will want to be perfect.
For two:
Souls enable one's clear and mathematical thinking.
For three:
Even in our darkest hours we still have our creative mind.


We, as individuals, cannot be ripped away from ourselves. Not our imagination it is what makes us who we are.

Alas, it is late.
Adios.

Brought to tears...

The novel We is a motivating piece of literature, motivating in the sense that it motivates me to realize how bloody brilliant the society we live in today is. Out of everything the Ciphers have to go through in the book the worse, at least for myself, was when they are forced to be happy. If you go to get the Great Operation then you will be happy. Rid of your imagination. My entire life I have grown up with the notion that the more creative you are the more of an individual you are. Never in a million years could I imagine losing all of that for the benefit of the "people".

The Benefactor rips away people's inalienable right to do as they please. If I were forced to give away my identity. It's very scary for someone who thrives on her individuality to read about people getting it ripped away from them.

Adios,
Meriah

Reader Response to We

Every time I turn the page in We I am brought to a new meaning of innovation, mathematical craziness that encompasses D-503. In my experience this novel explores the problems that come with a "perfect society". In each excerpt or journal entry D-503 continues to grow weary. He becomes obsessed with I-330 almost to the point of pure disgust. He cannot establish from what is reality and what isn't. In my experience D-503 is thinking irrationally because he is not used to having attachments to a person. Not even O.

I believe I-330 challenges him to be different, and that overthrows his logic to be normal.

In the end I believe D-503 will literally be sick from obsessing so much over someone so unimportant.

How We can relate to our literature definitions.

Style: I believe Zamyatin uses short, concise sentences in order to relay back to us as readers that D-503 is not a thinker of his own. He uses basic, simplistic sentences and often refers back to math as a solution.

Tone: Zamyatin keeps a very serious tone throughout the novel. He does not try and lighten the mood with frivolous jokes or any type of incident that may make the reader laugh. Sometimes when D-503 is with I-330 he takes a more dramatic tone.

Irony: When D-503 talks about I-330 he hates her, he goes on and on about hating her, yet very ironically he finds himself falling in love with her.

Plot: The whole point of the novel so far is to explain how even in a perfect world there are clearly marked imperfections. When D-503 interacts with I-330 and deceives what he believes is the all mighty it is part of the plot.

Characterization: When D-503 explains and describes himself and others he leaves out clear details so that you can picture someone, but he rarely includes much so that you can picture them as an individual. This is to make them seem much like robots.

Setting: This novel takes place in a futuristic world where people are told what to do, freedom is rare, and those who try and rise against are clearly eliminated. It is a place filled with glass so that it appears you are always looked after.

Point of view: Since the novel is written in first person I really feel we get a sense of how their world operates, and what an average person feels like in this society. We clearly embarks a new way of thinking into someone who has never lived in this type of world.

Symbol: When D-503 talks about the irrational thoughts he always calls the the square root of -1, this always make me wonder how he was brought to think this way. It symbolizes his society, the irrational thoughts, anything that fails to make itself mathematically understandable.

Theme: Part of We's main theme is to capture a world in which freedom is hated, where if you are abnormal society will punish you, this is all about the conspiracies that lie in our society today.

My Introduction

Hello my fellow companions! So, this is where I write something that will completely blow your mind, too bad I'm not that great at blowing minds. To introduce myself, my name is Meriah Reavis, I am from Hamptonville, North Carolina, 1500 miles away. I grew up in a town much larger than those that are in the Mid-West, and tend to miss home a lot more than I lead on.

I write run-on sentences like it's my job. I have two jobs, during the summer break I work at McDonald's where I make and prepare burgers. While I am in Vermillion, I am a Community Advisor for First Richie in North Complex. I am an Elementary Education major, I don't actually plan to teach incredibly long since I wish to get a Master's in Higher Educational Administration.

I am very thorough, well-organized, love to work, bitter, cynical, and a tad bit of the overbearing side. However, this is what encompasses me, and I hope this has been a fair enough introduction!

Until we meet again I bid you good tidings.
Meriah.
