We Journal 3

Topic C: Zamyatin creates a fairly believable view of the future world. He is commenting on the communist society in Russia, and how everyone is being controlled by the totalitarian government. The society in the book is not really that far off from the society in Russia. Most of the people in both societies worship their leader mindlessly, and both groups are closed off from the rest of society. In the book We, the author does not give much hope. near the end of the book, everyone is subjected to The Great Operation, which gets rid of people's imagination, making them basically lifeless slaves. But he also wrote that the green wall was destroyed, which could show some hope for the future, where everyone could live in the woods with freedom. The author does a good job showing the hazards of a totalitarian society. He shows the people being treated like animals, doing everything at the same time, giving without receiving, like in a communist society.
