The most interesting passages of the
book "It can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis which catches my attention was the attention
grabber movment of Bishop Prang to his audience in pages 40,41. It was interesting
because for the first time, i was surprised to read that one celebrity of radio
trying to convince thousands of poeple to join his army for their freedom with
the power of waves signals. He was a founder of "League of Forgotten
Men" and a real partner of Buzz. Prang got this talent by grabbing
attention of those people who lost their main goal in their lives , who were
tired of being slave and being demoralized. With his gentle and noble
personality he collect one hundred and thirty million live audience. But no one
knows his real facist face because he was collecting those innocents for sake
of other things by helping Buzz. He was real facist because he had two faces
and luckily he convinced his audience. His role in making success of Buzz in
elections. With the agenda of Forgotten Men, he was trying to be a true leader
who was worried for their future and their upcoming generation but no one knew
the reality behind this facist show off.
But another reading of the book page 18,
which i think was on the right but due to the lack of popularity he ending up
facing trouble in his life and that unfamous but really a true patriot of
freedom was Jessup Doremus, an editor of newspaper of Daily informer. Who knew
about the reality of Buzz and Prang's facism because in his publication he
expressed his feelings of disagreement about the upcoming facsit government.Unluckily
he was failed to convey his message to the poeple and Buzz came into power. As
soon as he took charge, those promises which he did with the League of
Forgotten Men was vanished and it came untrue. Here , Doremuss predictions came
true where he mention that "it happened in America" because Buzz
become the dictator and he start mis-using his power and creatd his own army
against democracy. Jessup and entire country were became victims of a facist
dictator, Buzz. Jessup try his best to start campaign about this facism but
soon he was arrested by the Buzz's army and they tortured him due to reverse
views about Buzz. It is true that peace cannot be achievable with weapons but
due to violence you can silence the opressed voices. The dictator Buzz created
army with this ideaology to calm those who said anything against him and his
princples. But there will aways be One in a thousands of those just like
Doremus who will fight for truth, justice and safety with their strong
intentions.
