The government corrupt is the most indispensable and immediate cause of people to live in a miserable life. From my enemy, my self, “I remembered that Abed had told me that the charge was only three shekels a night. I supposed that the discrepancy was due to the fact that I was not yet a regular customer, and I decided to hold my peace. Pg44.” It was happened when Yoram wanted to check in a hotel, the price for one night is 3 shekels, but Abu Naim asked him for 5 shekels a night. It was a really typically discrimination. Because Yoram was look like an Arab and didn’t have work. In that society, this kind of unsavory lodging used a fairly shoddy way to treat a customer, because the government opened the racial discrimination and ultra-individualism, and seriously debated standards of social conduct. From even thee rain, When Daniel was in the jail, Costa gave much money to the warden. Although in fact, Daniel couldn’t leave the jail, because the warden accepted the money and allowed he to leave. This is an another very materialistic society, the government official became the slaves to money. They abused their power and exploited the laboring people for money. Money is everything.
People are too weakly in front of the powerful government. The laboring people have to yield to power. They are afraid of power and dare not revolt. From my enemy, my self, “The Jew, around thirty-five years of age. Dressed in a black leather jacket, was offering 15 shekels($10) a day for kitchen work that was to begin every day at noon and continue until four o’clock in the morning. Pg4.” Many people were forced to do overtime working and just got low wages. Not only they did not fight back, but they swallowed insults from hegemony. From even the rain, the Bolivian just earned 2 dollars a day, and they had to pay a 200% increase the price of water. At the beginning, they chose to clubbed together to buy a well. They didn’t revolt and against the government. It is hard to fight, and it is easy to compromise.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance. It was a time of agitation and revolt. The veriest coward would fight. From my enemy, my self, Yoram took part in a demonstration. “A group of Israeli left-wing activists, together with some Palestinian associates, staged a demonstration to protest the fact that the ‘green line’, the international border that separated Israeli from Jordan until 1967, seemed to have vanished from Israeli political consciousness.Pg134.” It was a war minus the shooting. It was full of the anger of laboring people. They were struggling against the policy of suppression. They continued to struggle even when the demonstration was unlikely to succeed. From even the rain, when some polices tried to locked villager’s well, many women tried their best to stop them. The other scene in the movie is Daniel leads lots of people march in the town. They occupied the square and against the government. In the martial furry men became insensible to wounds. Finally, this demonstration evolved into a cruel war.
In conclusion, neither side gained in the war between classes. The oppression of the government and the anger of laboring people lead to this war. This war had cost them too much. The government need to know that people are not belong to them, and the government also need to be supported by people. If in the society, the government always abused their power, people finally attempt to overthrow the government. As a result, the government should lead people to construct a harmonious society.
