• Blog – Comment on the underground man’s actions. How is acting here in relationship to the claims he made in Part 1?
In the first part the underground man had an active mind, and was always spiting himself. He sits in his St.Petersburg house with his smelly housekeeper and thinks to himself. The underground man explained that he doesn’t like the truth, and that freewill is very important. Without freewill then you only see one viewpoint of something. In the second part the underground man still has his active mind and still seems uncertain about choices. We also see that the underground man is changing and becoming more active with people around him. In the second part he goes to the bar with some people he knows. The underground man knows that he isn’t accepted by them but still wants to prove that he can be there with them. The people treat him as he isn’t wanted and make him feel lonely. Also I realize that the underground man changes his beliefs to go against what people believe, not what the system believes. The underground man doesn’t want people to shape who he is, which is why he is against what people think of him. Also we see that underground man has evolved a bit too because he finally goes out into society and is doing new things prove people that they are wrong about him.

I think you did a pretty good job on the blog you covered most of the things that we covered in class.
This is a pretty good blog. I agree with Stephen that you covered a lot of information. The Underground Man is stubborn and does not want to admit when he has done wrong.
