'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denischovivh\r'

'October 3, 2010 Cold War-Period 1 Ivan Denisovich Shukhov was sent to a Soviet concentration camp, he was accused of being a spy after being captured by the Ger mankinds. He was not a spy only was still falsely penalise by the government. My estimateite quote of the restrain is, â€Å" bear they even tell what the sun to do? ” This portrays that when the commie Party declared that the sun reaches its high steer of the day at one instead of noon. He is saying that the Soviet Union controls e genuinelything such as: the sun’s zenith, religion, and clothes.The Soviet Union treat prisoners of war(POWS) very(prenominal) harshly and the system itself was also very corrupt. Alexander Solzhenitysn was a POW himself. In February of 1945 when he was serving in East Prussia he got arrested for paper insulting comments in multiple letters to Nikolai Vitkevich. The number one camp they took him to be in Lubyanka, and they beat him thither and questioned him on many things . In the middle descriptor of his concealment he was sent to Sharaska.The last swan in which he was imprisoned in was Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan were he worked as a bricklayer, miner, and a foreman for bantam building projects, this is in which he got the idea and the melodic theme of the book One day in the lookspan of Ivan Denisovich Shukhov. All the information in his book was acquired by actual experiences with the saturatedships Shukhov faced in the book. From the mouth of gum benjamin C. Gardner One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovic is thusly a powerful book. Were it merely the grim testimonial to life in the Soviet Gulags or a witness to infringed liberties, its force would be staggering.Were it a proof to the indomitableness of human nature, it would be crushing. As it is, it shatters our perception of man and ourselves as no other book, save Anne Franke`s diary and the testimony of Elie Wiesl, could ever have done. However, it is more than all the above. â€Å"One D ay” is actually a searching look at human nature. The blistering wind, jagged wire, frigid climate, watery soup, and the warmth provided by an extra pair of mittens or an hour of hard physical labor all find matches in the colorful rowd of characters that parades through this narrative †from the prison guards to the prisoners themselves to the prison director to the turncoat prisoners who sold their integrity for the favor of their oppressors. This is a book to be read, first of all, for its historic value †a tribute to those who were imprisoned but whose voices were never heard, and a silent plea to bear down all our forces to the proposition that such vileness testament never reach our liberty-loving shores.No less importantly, this is a book that should prompt us to turn our eyes self-whispered and question ourselves whether, in our own way, we are resourceful of committing the same atrocities against our fellow man, and whether, if subjected to the same suff ering, we would have the aptitude of character to find as much treasure in a bowl of soup as we do now in the transient, unfounded companionship that such inhumanity will not smirch us. ” He summarized the life of an average POW in the Soviet concentration camps.This book to me was a very interesting read giving me foresight into the life of an average, innocent, hard working man in a concentration camp. This book helped me too understand how the earth was in turmoil during the Cold War and how large number in the Soviet Union were treated. As Shukhov says, â€Å"I’m not a beggar I work for everything I get and not I’m about to change that now. ” I like this quote because I believe this is a devout way to live your life.\r\n'
