at its core, socialism is an econom-ic system.The basic principle of socialism

is equality and, on its face, thatsounds good, but it’s a fact of lifethat not all things are equal. Fordsare not equal to Chevys,McDonalds is not equal to RedLobster, and one person’s hardwork is not equal to that lazy stu-dent who tries to copy and cheatoff another. The reason that social-ism is represented in a negativelight is because of the past civi-lizations that have been destroyeddue to socialist policies, most

notably the Soviet Union. Sincethen socialism has risen and fallenin popularity and, due to the num-ber of social issues facing ustoday, people have begun to won-der if socialism is the answer toequality. If history is any indica-tor, then the answer to those won-ders is absolutely no.Socialism is about trying to

make everything and everyoneequal. Socialism strides in theshadow of utopian philosophythat imagines a world of peaceand tranquility, a thought that isjuvenile and unrealistic so long as

people exist. Socialism is wellknown for redistributing wealth, aphrase that many politicians likeBernie Sanders have used fre-quently. In simple terms, this ide-ology states that the wealthiestindividuals pay more of theirearnings into society. One couldsay it’s the Robin Hood “take fromthe rich and give to the poor”adage … with some differences.It’s this belief, though, that manypeople are supporting because theincome disparity between theupper class and the middle andlower classes has grown enor-

mously.It’s here that Socialism sets a

figurative line at which theybelieve all people should be, theline of equality as it were. Now forthose who excel in terms of wealthabove this line, they will havetheir earnings distributed to thosewho have fallen below the equali-ty line. This essentially makeseveryone equal despite the qualityor quantity of work they’veaccomplished. Referring back tothe lazy student; he knows that nomatter how hard he works he’s

Book Review‘Cat in the Rain’ by Earnest Hemingway

Hemingway’s collection of shortstories, “In Our Time.” This shortnovel, merely ten pages, is a col-lection of simple, yet engagingsentences. Hemingway’s style liesin presenting open-ended sen-tences in order to enable readersto derive numerous interpreta-tions. That is, his sentence notonly delivers the factual messagethe sentence states, but also thedeeper meaning underneath thatvery-unadorned sentence.Carlos Baker, a Hemingway

biographer, describes this style asIceberg Theory. The theoryimplies that, because we acknowl-edge the unquestionable presenceof the unwritten, the power of thestory is amplified. In “Cat in theRain,” Hemingway indeed tells

multiple stories by leaving a sub-tle yet clear trail for the reader tofollow. Following the trail, onecan reach many possible realms.The story does end, yet the endingis not conclusive, as it is, in fact, anew opening to another story. Ibelieve this task delights everypassionate reader.In “Cat in The Rain,” an

American wife, whose name is notrevealed, sees a cat curled upunder a green table in the rain,and tries to bring it home.However, the cat goes missing,and the disappointed wife breaksher silence with her husband anddescribes the kind of life shewants — an established life thatconsists of owning a table, a mir-ror and a cat of her own. In the

story, the couple are wanderersstaying at a hotel in Italy. Her hus-band ignores her, and when thereaders have developed a sense ofpity for the woman, the story endswith a maid’s entrance, deliveringa tabby cat at the request of a hoteloperator.The ending is abrupt and open

to multiple interpretations. Itnever specifies whether she willaccept the cat, or if the cat was theone which she tried to save.Above all, the question lingers asto why the hotel operator gave thecat to the woman. In the begin-ning of the novel, the authordescribes how the woman isimpressed by the operator.What I find interesting is how

Hemingway tersely describes how

the woman likes the operatorwithout any superfluity. But doesthis mean they both have feelingsfor each other, therefore an emo-tional affair? The novel does notreveal such. In my personal opin-ion, this is the part where thereaders are permitted to expandtheir imagination in order to inferlimitlessly. When you read the lastline of the novel involving themaid’s delivery of a mysterioustabby cat, you will be surprised todiscover the power of that lastsimple sentence. The novel is amasterpiece of brevity in story-telling, and a perfection in com-pletion.

By Yun Ji NamStaff Writer

I once heard a story of some-body doubting Hemingway’s tal-ent, who challenged Hemingway.“I will consider you as a writer

if you write a story with sixwords.”Hemingway responded with

“For Sale: Baby Shoes. Neverworn.”I do not know if he was pro-

voked by the man’s remark.However, the story made meadmire his genius. Hemingway isnot verbose, yet his prose is just aspowerful as any other acclaimedwriting that involves a complicat-ed technique.

going to make/get (not earn) thesame grade as the person who isbusting their back and thereforethey decide they’re not going todo any more work than theywant to.Eventually this mentality

spreads and people begin to real-ize that their hard work doesn’tpay off anymore and they lose theincentive to work hard andattempt to excel because, in reali-ty, there’s no way for them toexcel. This harkens to the classlesssociety that socialists envision.Under socialism, there is said tobe no class system because every-one is equal and earns the sameamounts.Now, personally, I don’t see

this as a fair system, which is iron-ic for a system that prides itself oncreating equality. This is what isseldom explained about socialistsystems and equality and that isthat equality has a dark side andisn’t always just in how it’s imple-mented.Which brings up another ironic

point about socialism that I don’tthink people understand. Whenpeople hear the phrase “wealthdistribution” they seem to thinkthat means the persons who makethe most are going to give a largerchunk of their earnings to thosewho are in the lower class. Thefunny thing about this is that thegovernment is the one whoreceives the money, and it is itsresponsibility to redistribute thatmoney as it sees fit. I find it highlyironic that when the distrust of thegovernment is at an all-time high,people are so willing to agree to

income inequality shouldn’t beabout redistributing the wealthfrom those who are successful andgiving it to those who aren’t forwhatever reason, it should beabout providing people with theopportunities to pursue theirdreams of wealth, success andhappiness.No matter what kind of gov-

Bakken said. “It made me think aboutthe relationship that we (asChristians) have with our Muslimbrothers and sisters.”Junior Molly Haagenson found the

vastness of Chicago itself to be a chal-lenge.“The exposure to constant diversi-

actions in Chicago inspired her tothink more deeply about her own reli-gious culture.“All of the people we met were so

passionate about their beliefs. It made

me want to work harder to be ‘all in’with my faith,” she said.When volunteering for service

projects, it’s sometimes easy to believethat the only lives improved are thoseof people being helped. What’s some-times forgotten, however, is that thelives of those volunteering is trans-formed through the acts of service.As a Social Work major, senior
