Hello all,
My name is Aaron Hauger. I am a freshmen that is studying Psychology, Tech Theater, and statistics. In my free time I enjoy cooking, thinking, and hanging out with friends. Life is every strange for me right now, as it probably is for everyone, but I feel like I need to do something bigger than go to USD. With Psychology I feel like I should to the University of Minnesota. Anyone with something to say on this matter feel free to let me know what you think.
Now, I am not really sure if we had to blog about the reading in WE, if we did here it goes.
The reading really spoke to me. As a student in high school, I read 1984. Both books are very close in plot so far. One thing that is different between the two novels that I thought were odd, it seems that in WE everything under the One-State makes everyone equal, yet women seem like they are property. Whenever women are referred to, they are all said to be registered to someone and the men are never said to be. Along with this, these women are registered to more than one man. I also feel, that reading the v to chapter 1 really helped with getting into the story. It is easy to see parallels between Yevgeny Zamyatin and D-503. They both love their country and would not like to be anywhere else in the world.
Sincerely,
Aaron Hauger
