Description

Fragments of My Early Life Under SocialismGood quality writing is generally a very demanding endeavor. When the writing is done by using a second (not native) language, the challenge is even greater. Trying to write a memoir is even a deeper problem for me. Most of the writing I had done was always limited to engineering technical subjects, due to my education and many years of work experience. Those subjects are typically dry, precise and factual, using limited vocabulary, or just boring.

Good quality writing is generally a very demanding endeavor. When the writing is done by using a second (not native) language, the challenge is even greater. Trying to write a memoir is even a deeper problem for me. Most of the writing I had done was always limited to engineering/technical subjects, due to my education and many years of work experience. Those subjects are typically dry, precise and factual, using limited vocabulary, or just boring. Writing a memoir is a completely different story. It involves language comprehension, describing observations, expressing feelings, making subjective comments, and formulating opinions. All that requires good composition skills and rich vocabulary. None of which are my forte.

Nevertheless, my decision to write this memoir was motivated by two reasons and neither one of them was to display writing skills or provide entertainment. The reasons were simple and straight forward Ð presenting facts and providing information.

The first reason was that I wanted to leave behind a record of some memories from my early life. This would only be of interest to a limited number of people, like my sons, relatives, or younger friends of mine. The assumption was that they may have a wish, or degree of curiosity, to learn more about me.

The second reason was that I wanted to address some of the realities of the social, economic and political atmosphere in which I grew-up. That information could be of interest to a large number of uninformed people. This year, in the USA the topic of socialism vs. capitalism is publicly, continuously and vigorously debated. That of course, is due to the upcoming presidential general election.

I was hoping that the facts presented in this book would be desirable and helpful as a alternative to the various misleading, and even fraudulent speculation, manipulation, and self-serving opinion on the topic of socialism vs. capitalism.

Fits like we had hoped. We purchased another one different brand and it was terrible quality. But this jacket was my son’s style and comfortable. Just what he was looking for

Shiny Small Sequin Blazer
Size: Small, Color: Black
This tuxedo blazer is one for the looks. It’s shiny black 100% polyester material, with a mesh net on the left side that has dark gold plastic sequins sewn on in a tree pattern. The material is taut with seams at the sides and the middle of the back. There is a single button. There are no pockets outside nor inside the jacket. The quality will hold up and is a decent value for the money. This was for a 5’5 male of slim build and fit quite snug. The measurement in inches: 17 - shoulders; 23 - sleeves; 27-1/2 nape to bottom of blazer.

Size a tad small
Size: Large, Color: Black
So many compliments so don’t buy this if you don’t like people to notice. I’d say fits a tad on the small side.
