Il campanello

Do you know Valerie?! Oh, you don’t?! Well, you see, Valerie is my owner and one of the best owners you could ever imagine! I love her so much, I would do anything for her! Well, it all started like this, you see? I was just a little pup when Valerie picked me up. I was so tiny, that she could carry me with just one hand! Can you believe that?! When I looked into her eyes it was love at first sight! She wrapped me up in a cozy light blanket and took me home. She named me Frank, after one of her favourite artist, she told me. Every day with Valerie was the best! She would take to the park and I would run after the yellow ball she would throw. The memories of our incredible days would replay at the end of the day in my head as I would sleep. Whenever she would leave, I’d dread being all alone, but when she would come back, it was as if she had never been gone. She would spoil me with toys, goodies; anything a dog could ask for. We would play a hiding game around the tidy house, I must’ve have been really good because I would always find Valerie when she was hiding. Most importantly she was always there for me; through all the rainy days with the loud bangs she would always hold me close. That was until she met him. I don’t know his name but suddenly he was always in our house. Sometimes he would stay over and other times Valerie would leave with him for a while. Valerie loved him though, her attention would shift from me to him. If only she knew how horrible he was! He…

split it. Germany was famously split down the middle making East and West Germany. Korea was another example of this division of counties. Korea is a peninsula of land jutting out of the eastern coast of China. The United States and Russia decided to cut Korea in half at the 38th Parallel. Russia would take the northern half and the United States would take the southern half. “In 1948, when the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was established, Kim Il-Sung became the first premier of the…

Anthem. In Anthem, Rand’s purpose is to give an insight to what the world could be like if we let the government control society completely; and the government structure in Anthem provides readers with horrendous comparisons to the society of North Korea. The North Korean society has been completely quarantined from the outside world. For example, no books from anyone but there leaders can be read, no cellphones, no communication with the outside world and definitely no questioning their leader…

Destruction; the action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired. Destruction is overtaking the lives of innocent people by inhuman acts.

North Korea had no real people that had enough power to rule the nation, so they turned to Soviet Russia yet again for help. The DPRK sought to be have ideals similar to the USSR and their neighbor China, who were also a left-wing dictatorship at the time, installing a…

No one person truly thinks the exact same way, which is why there’s such diverse society’s throughout the world. The fact that 1984, a novel written in 1949 could have such accurate representation of a present day society like North Korea, shown in the documentary ‘The Propaganda Game”, seems impossible. It comes as a shock that two societies can be such a perfect simulacrum of each other. It brings up the question, “who truly thought of the ideals first and how do they compare?” When side by…
