I liked how even though you didn't have to and had enough information, you sought out different topics to talk about and explain. What I didn't really understand though, was the difference between "special" camps and normal camps, and the reasons people had to send people to "special" camps instead of normal ones. From what I read in Jorge's post, "special" camps are for politicians, but what amount of power do politicians have to have so that they are sent to jail? Is it that if the government feels threatened/think that a politician is a possible threat then they are sent to jail? Overall, I really liked the content and how you analyzed the information, especially towards the end of your post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568077550739206530.post-49967644890804463882014-08-25T16:08:22.174-07:002014-08-25T16:08:22.174-07:00Daniel,

I really enjoyed reading through your awesome ideas.<br /><br />I must say that I agree with you in every aspect here. In the first section, you mentioned how the author tells his personal experiences to connect with Ivan's characters. I found this very interesting, and, also, Alexander Solzhenitsyn was actually the first man to denounce the existence of the gulags to the world, as he was imprisoned in one. Did you know that Stalin actually killed more people than Adolf Hitler? Actually, he killed 20 million people that were against his communist regime. At the time, it was a very forced dictatorship, and the gulags were maintained a secret for the public not to realize how restricted they were in Soviet Russia. The "traitors" of the country that didn't agree with Joseph Stalin were sent to these camps to be tortured and killed. Last but not least, I thought your last paragraph was the most interesting. All of that information requires certain amounts of research on the topic. Generally, I really liked how you spoke about how metaphorical the story is as well by repeating the opposite words. Overall, I really enjoyed reading your post, as it is very well written and helped me to push my thinking forward.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me!<br /><br />Thiago RossiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568077550739206530.post-5544600722439363282014-08-25T10:54:02.589-07:002014-08-25T10:54:02.589-07:00I found it very good the information you searched,...I found it very good the information you searched, and it shows that anybody could be put in these prisons, even those who have (or at least had) great amount of political power. Also these keywords you chose, show that it was a basic instinct of survival needed, so that these prisoners could last long, because if they had these things they long to, it makes them have a better time at the prison, and they take advantage of their materials and use it for multi purposes, not only once and they are done, they use their resources until they "evaporate."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
