    2Ac

    Suggest one strong synthesis and one strong evaluative question in order to review section 1.

    Synthesis question

    Consider articulating a conversation with Mrs. Song, an individual whose rooting within the North Korean party is comparable to Parson's integration within Oceania's Party. Do you think Mrs. Song would ride a bicycle?

    Evaluative

    Consider the Korean tradition of how, historically, "Koreans have mesaured their success in life by their proximity to power- part of a long Asian tradition of striving to get off the farm and close to the imperial palace" (36). What effect could Kim Il'sung's authauritarian system have on such ideology?

    Here are ten URLS which I have found to be significant to both North Korea and the book Nothing To Envy.
