Day 18: Manifesto (Surojnie Deonaraine)

George Saunders’ “Manifesto” tells of the phases of the show organized by his organization. He uses time to separate each phase that involves the members not committing an act of violence. In a sense, Saunders’ piece explains that the show featured by his organization is a world without inhumane actions and violence against others. He explains that the members of the organization aren’t doing any harm to anyone and that’s the way the world should be. There should be no chaos and nothing should be done to anyone that makes them feel unsafe or uncomfortable. The piece also explains that even though there is an abundance of negative and horrible things happening in the world, there are also people who are not in his organization that are doing things in light of the same idea. The organization wants to make this world a better place and there are some people out there doing so without being a part of the organization. The last few sentences of the article sum up what the purpose of the article was which was to explain the PRKA organization and their purpose. By using contradictory ideas, examples of the negative and positive things that are happening in this world, Saunders shows the purpose of the article and the message of his organization.
