Comparison: Marx and Ozment

Abstract: A 4 page paper comparing the focus, tone and themes of Marx and Engel's Manifesto of the Communist Party and Ozment's The Burgermeister's Daughter. Marx is said to have lamented the failure of the "experiment" of communism shortly before his death, but the Manifesto of the Communist Party carries no hint of any uncertainty. Marx and Engels denounce the system that exists and present what they are determined will replace it. In contrast, The Burgermeister's Daughter chronicles one woman's efforts to effect social change on a much smaller scale and in single steps rather than in sweeping measures. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
