Essay 4 ideas
In Cell I think the social issue was when people are afraid they listen to the first person that steps up and starts giving direction even if it is to their slaughter. This makes it very easy for they leader to be corrupt and start doing things for his own gain. All he has to do is offer false hope and show intimidation. "The raggedy man" in the novel intimidats by killing all of the "crazies" that weren't going where he wanted them to, but also he could control people's minds. Anytime large groups of people are desperate or afraid all they want is direction and an easy solution and consequently they are easily fooled and intimidated. This is the problem with socialism. Socialism seems like a dream for a crashing economy and it seems like the perfectly simple solution, but it is easily corrupted. There is no freedom; only someone telling you what to do and when to do it, and more often then not it causes more violence then it is preventing. So I think I might make my fourth essay like my third except it will be a position paper against socialism.

This is a very good post, Denver. I like the way you reasoned out your topic from the novel plot. You have a solid foundation to start with. This looks to be a well-thought out position.
