As a result of the regimes isolationist policy the people of North Korea suffered greatly in both mental and physical health. The hold the state had over the beliefs of the citizens presented in “Nothing to Envy”, varied from absolute belief to uncomfortable awareness. The reader is presented often with Mrs. Song’s dedication to the regime, and Kim Il-sung himself. A mother of four she was often gone from home, working and attending ideological training sessions. “Fridays she stayed especially late for self-criticism. In these sessions members of her work unit- the department to which she was assigned- would reveal to the group anything they had done wrong—Mrs. Song would usually say, in all sincerity, that she feared she wasn’t working hard enough” (Pg. 43).When Kim Il-sung died, she

Aristotle defined ethos as how messages persuade as a result of the communicator’s character. He claimed that this was most important in the list of the three rhetorical appeals. The reason was because that person has to be a trustworthy speaker to the audience, but that requires have practictical intelligence, virtuous character, and good will. Rudyard Kipling has an automatic ethos built to his audience because the intended audience was his son, and there is an automatic father-son bond established. Kipling can use this bond to his favor while trying to convey his message, because the trust will heighten the chance of the son taking the advice the father is trying to give him. If a stranger was trying to give the same advice without any background, it wouldn’t be as powerful nor personal to the son and he wouldn’t know where the scenarios were coming from. By Kipling being the communicator, he is meeting all three of the criteria for strong ethos according to Aristotle’s ideology. Kipling has the practical intelligence from parenting, age, and experience. He has virtuous character through the life experiences that he has been through and he has good will by his helpful intention with his knowledge towards the subject.

“After receiving evacuation orders, our family had approximately 6 days to settle affairs. We were instructed to bring only what we could carry” (Oliveira, Kimi). After the assembly center, she and her family were sent to a relocation camp in Rohwer, Arkansas. The camp was located in a forested swamp and conditions were poor. The center was surrounded with barbed wire and watchtowers with armed guards inside. Kimi’s father built furniture while her mother worked as a hairdresser and her grandmother a cook. She and her sisters played on their own and with other Japanese children. Toward the end of the war, Kimi’s younger brother, Sumbo, was born

Kim is based on the India that Kipling experiences during his five years of working there as a newspaper reporter. “His residence near the primary British Army base in Northwest India….enhanced his already intense admiration for the martial life” (Matin 359). Events in the novel are manipulated to formulate Kipling’s dream of dominated India. Being a product of his time, Kipling believes that the British empire has an obligation to bring “enlightenment” to inferior races and underdeveloped countries. His idea of the best way to rule the native India is expressed by creating Kim who is born in the country, resulting in Kim’s appreciation and favor of the Indian culture. Kipling constructs the native India consists of salvage people who are waiting to be civilized by British and limited by their races no matter how much they contribute to the imperialist system. He has people positively speak on empire’s behalf and recognize the work of British men. Moreover, all the characters exist in the story to help Kim going on the right track to become an imperialist boy and rise above everyone else. Kim’s ultimate choice of British empire’s interest over his loved lama and his being blessed for doing so successfully deliver Kipling’s imperialism message.

Jun-sang lived a better quality life than most North Koreans. His family lived in a freestanding house with a garden to grow vegetables. In addition, the family also owned five wooden wardrobes containing quality clothing and quilts from Japan. In North Korea, a household with more wardrobes meant the family was prosperous. Jun-sang’s family possessed more appliances than their neighbors. These appliances included: a television, sewing machine, electric fan, and a refrigerator. Jun-sang had a pet dog which was unusual in North Korea. Dogs served the purpose as a meal rather than a companion. Although Jun-sang’s family was prosperous, they were lumped into the hostile class because they were Japanese Korean. There was also a constant fear within Jun--sang that his family would be sent to the gulag. Jun-sang’s father is not hesitant to beat his children with a stick if he thinks it will instill fear in his children to get higher scores in school (Demick, 18). high goals of attending the most prestigious university (Kim Il-sung Uni) are the main goal of Jun-sang and his father (Demick, 18). Rigorous studies and career oriented path leaves no time for girls or dating (Demick, 19). Both of Jun-sang’s parents were born in Japan (Demick, 32). They were part of “a cross section of Korean society” made up of people who were forced to support Japan in war efforts, high ranking people that have gone there to study, or immigration workers (Demick, 32).

Rudyard Kipling’s attitude towards the British Empire was significantly negative. The novella essentially expressed Kipling’s feelings towards British Imperialism and his overall frustration with the British Empire. However, there are several positive qualities of the Empire pointed out by Kipling several times throughout his novella. Despite his mixed feelings, he is ultimately dissatisfied with the British Empire, claiming that it is “the White Man’s Burden”. Kipling was a steadfast imperialist, living in a time of British domination and oppression. He shared similar outlooks with the natives, that the majority of them were oppressed by the government and the wealthy. The upper class was greedy and wanted working men to do all of the work for them so that they could reap the profits. Kipling conveys his attitude towards British Imperialism through parallelism and figurative language.
