Instruction- write an essay from the short story “The lesson” by Toni cade Bambara and add some ideas from the karl Marx; manifesto of the communist party book. some ideas from the manifesto book by karl Marx are below; The 10 conditions for a communist economy Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. 3. Abolition of all right to inheritance. 4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. 6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. 7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of wastelands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. 8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. 9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country. 10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. The one condition that stood out to be, the most striking one, was number 10 because even though PreK -12 is free for people here in NYC it isn’t for others in different parts of the world. Child labor is still a thing today in many places like China. So this condition is very enticing because it helps resolve problems we are facing in the world right now in the 21st Century. you have to show “the lesson” and the karl marx book is connected and also use more than 3 quotes from the short story and from the book to explain your thoughts.
Revision comments that I received from my prof-In many respects, a very sophisticated essay on the topic, with a number of well-crafted sentences. Your introduction is short, but pertinent to the topic, and it is followed by a clear thesis statement. Your body paragraphs offer excellent examples from the short story to prove your point, but for this moment in the semester, they are very short and quote only from the story. You must quote Marx in each as well. And you have a decent conclusion. However: your heading for the essay is still double-spaced and is not correct. And Bambara’s text is a short story, not a book. Please revise as indicated and re-submit.
