In the story, the principle character Jason is the brother of a girl who got wealthy by making a prevalent phone app called Fun Face. It is not all that difficult to believe subtle element reflecting the ridiculousness of the Internet age in which we have ended up living. At the same time Jason thinks that it difficult to partake in video games, and to a conceivably considerably more noteworthy degree, in life itself. That is, until he finds the game called Jon Lennin Xperience after his sister starts investing time with her new (genuine) boyfriend, allowing Jason to sit unbothered in their flat.

Glaser utilizes language thusly, as well; she veers between phony-fitting nineteenth-century and the voice of out of date convention and a cheeky and very ironic which makes both tongues sound like rituals.

The title of this short story is a title which not just makes a case for social information John Lennon's life, which it regards as something which can be re-lived, or if nothing else re-bundled in an absolutely depressing manner additionally demonstrates the case will be a broken one, by incorrect spelling Lennon's name and the word experience.

At the point when Jason declines to execute John Lennon, the game dispatches a frightening messenger to him.

Everything from his sister virtually dating Kanye to Jason agonizing over having the capacity to give Yoko Ono a climax was unquestionably
Furthermore, throughout the film Wolfgang Becker also uses Cultural aspects of East Berlin and West Berlin. Wolfgang Becker also shows the differences between East and West living. In Goodbye Lenin Alex found it difficult to keep the reign of GDR alive, as East Berlin was becoming into West Berlin. Alex’s mother Christiane was making things more difficult for Alex as the supermarkets were emptied and it was almost impossible to find the food Christiane wanted e.g. Spreewald Pickles and Globus Peas (00:42:10). Alex uses old bottles and bottle labels that were found in the rubbish dump and fills them up with western food he buys from the supermarket (00:41:31) one reason behind this is so Alex’s mother Christiane does not find out about the changes
Lenin was able to consolidate Bolshevik rule in Russia by combining popular policies and repression: To what extent do you agree with this statement.
With the October revolution in 1917, Lenin managed to execute a successful coup d’état against the provisional government of Russia and with the death of the constituent assembly early 1918; Lenin and his Bolsheviks had finally control over Russia. However this was just the beginning of various problems he would be facing. This raised the debate on whether Lenin could deal with these problems or not. Many of the quarrels originated from the Tsar’s regime and the provisional government such as Russia’s participation in WW1 as well as economic underdevelopment.

Set at the end of the Cold War in East Germany, the movie Goodbye Lenin is the story of a young man, Alex, trying to protect his mother, Christiane, who just spent the last eight months in a coma. Christiane is a personification of the values and ideology of socialism. She carries them out in her interactions with society, and is very hopeful towards the success of the regime. During her absence, the fall of the Berlin Wall and of the German Democratic Republic leads to a radical and turbulent change in society: the fall of socialism and the triumph of capitalism. Because of the shocking effect of such information and the danger of another heart attack, Alex creates for Christiane an ideological form of socialism. Fundamental themes in the movie are the difference between ideal and reality of socialism, as well as the positive and negative aspects of the transition to free market capitalism. Such themes are carried out through a juxtaposition of an ideal society and its reality in the form of a constructed reality of socialism. This idealized version of socialism served as an oasis from the chaotic transition from a problematic socialist regime to free market capitalism.

Chapters 7 and 8 foreshadow the the future of Lenina. In these chapters Lenina meets Linda a woman who used to be of an upper caste but was forced to stay at the reservation after discovering that she was pregnant. At first Lenina is disgusted calling Linda speaking in with derogatory terms such as “So fat. And all the lines in her face, the flabbiness, the wrinkles. And the sagging cheeks, with those purplish blotches…” (Huxley 121) But once Lenina is able to move past Lindas looks the two instantly hit it off, and talk of all the great times each had had as an upper caste woman, but the story of Linda eerily foreshadows the fate of Lenina. It can be assumed that what has happened to Linda will also happen to Lenina, as she is also of
As John is engrossed in Lenina, he quotes Shakespeare instead of talking to her in her sleep. Reciting lines as “On the white wonder of dear Juliet’s hand, may seize and steal immortal blessing from her lips….” (Lines 58-59) give the audience a portrayal of Lenina’s beauty. At the same time, hints of diction is used to show the amount of respect and passion John has for Lenina. Using words such as “thy” and describing her beauty with words such as “white”, “pure” and “vestal”, Huxley combines both diction and imagery to give the audience a visual of the scene and emphasize with John as he admires her.
