Azuela's images of revolution
Freeze frame brings to mind the ideas of matrix.... but on a serious note. Most of our books seemed to have nothing more then "bang.. bang" none stop action. With Bable we have small micro-movies, of an action sequence,

tthe mind of the terroist
What is the psychology of a terrorist according to Man's Fate? What is the relationship between "terrorism" and revolution?
The psychology of the terrorist… yes finally some thing I know about.. I will have to ramble about this for hours.. or in this case pages… any way…
In “Mans Fate” the terrorist is more human then any thing/ one I have seen on tv… ha .. there I said it. he actualy wants to fight with the person who he is plaing on killing. he is not willing to kill som eone who is not willing to fight back.
he logick is that he wants to know who is it that he is killing. and for what is it that he is killing this person. the most ironk thing in this novile is that his 1st kill is the hardest and the longest discribed. our terosts belives that he is better then others. a terrorst is a desparet person.. wow i just qwoted bush... who belives that this is the onely way a tersost by soscits point of veoie is even more dangususe then the ennimy becouse they have there own mind stes, they dont bilve in going from one side to the other, they do what they must becosue they must do it.

The form
Over all I like Malraux over the other ones his form is something I am very used to reading. He enters the persons mind, we know what each of the characters are thinking about; and not just that we can see how is it that they have arrived at the thoughts that they are thinking right now. His form is very sequential, there is a strict order to the events that are happening in the book unlike the events and the stories of the events that are seen in Babel, where every chapter u don’t know where your going or where did you just come from.
Although some of my class mates have been saying that one has no need to pass over 6 pages when describing the thoughts that are going through the head of a killer or in this cases a person who is about to kill, this is the “juice” of a good book. Although there is no one narrator that is show through out the who of Malraux book, we get to know each on of the characters in the most intermit detail. Donnelly tries doing this with his 3rd person descriptions of what is going on in the charters heads, but he never truly makes them livable, they gust don’t seem like they can every live in the every day world.
But then I am left to ask my self is this just the stile of the time.
This lading to the question that was asked in class is the from going along with the ideas of the time, and to that all I have to sat is maybe. I am not truly sure. We have come across the forms of Donnelly , in books like Ethan Fromme or I don’t know any “romantic” book that was written in the Victorian era. For Babel I cant say there are not too many books that I can recall that have had a similar structure, not the once that I have read any way.
Babel over all makes us see his point with pure images of the land , make us see what we need to see, and never force or truly tell us what to think. Donnelly tells us that the world will only work his way, with the unbelievable “happy ending” for the main charters that is.

Last thoughts on Donnelly
I cant say that I liked the book nor can I say that I hated it either. He seems always to contradict him self.. you never know who’s side is he on.. is he for equality or is he a raciest, douse he want technology or pastoral peace.
He wants the future to be green pastures and happy people. Marriage love and all the other bs.. we all know that that is the start of America, fields and happy farmers. The problem is as the time goes on we cant make new cities with every 500 people that are born on earth. That who pastoral idea reminds me sort of the time machine, idea of what the world will be like in what was it 1000 years or what ever it was.

Marks and Donnily part II
well after the class discution on the topic and reading some more background in for on marx. yes there are alot of simlarites, as i have placed then on my last post, but there are one major difernces, the way Donnily shows womens , and how much he showes us the roles of riligion, as i have said in calls i dont know if it is just his victorian bain that cant get thrught it, but marks was not so much about relion , and peace and all of that other utopian bs, marks just showed us what the world is like and what are its major problems, althought he showed us the posible solutions, he did not give us the insturction manual. where donaly althought romatisised tells us what to do and how to do it.
i dont know how to fully expain it but if you aply the ideas of trotsky ,to fully undarstand marx we would need to re make the whole world, we would need to change the world in almot no time at all. reiligon verchous and moreality are nothing, when doing some thing so revolutionary in such a small time
