One Day in the Life of Ivan De
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich-Book ReportThis book explains a single day in Ivan Denisovichs live in a Siberian prison camp. The story is taking place during Joseph Stalin's Red Terror program between 1945 and 1953. But I think this specific day is in no case different from any other ones of his possible 25 year prison term. Ivan Denisovich Shukhov: The main character of the story, Ivan Denisovich is in the eighth year of a ten-year prison term. Imprisoned unjustly during WWII for treason, he has learned over the years not to be bitter, but live every day for itself. He is the consummate prisoner, with the know-how and optimistic attitude to get through the tortuous days. The story follows one day of his life in a Siberian labor camp, from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to bed. Fetiukov: A former office worker of some rank (overseer), he is considered the lowest rank in the 104th hierarchy. No one in his squad respects Fetiukov because he is one to 'lick others' leftovers. He scrounges for anything he can get, not concerned about maintaining any degree of dignity and self-control. In the mess hall, Fetiukov often gets beaten up during fights over leftovers.
"Shukhov know how to manage anything. Because their survival depends on Shukovs ability that their work is being honored in order to get enough food etc. Before the prisoners go to sleep, Alyosha shares his faith with Ivan Denisovich. The simple, unadorned style, however, only amplifies the horror of life reduced to its most essential elements-finding food and staying alive. so he wants to save his own life and go home in order to have freedom. Without an outcome a person may become very sad and may not want to do anything, so he actually make himself live longer. Tiurin was arrested for being a son of a kulak. He and the members of the 104th group manage to survive because of Ivan's personal attention to himself and his care about the others. PlotThe plot of this short novel is stunningly simple: The reader follows Ivan's life, as he tries to survive one more day in the horrors of a Soviet labor camp in the 1950s. He and the other prisoners in the camp are treated very badly.
