Write a summary for the article “The Censors”

English

Answer:

'The Censors' is the story of a young man named Juan who gets a job censoring letters for an authoritarian government. He's great at it - so great that he censors his own letter and gets himself executed.

Explanation:

All letters written and mailed in this society go through the Censor's Secret Command, a bureaucratic agency that inspects everything for bombs, poisonous powders, secret messages, and more. Anything and everything could be a potential signal to the Censors that the letter's sender or receiver is plotting against the government, and Juan is worried that something in his letter will implicate Mariana.

He comes up with a genius plan: he'll get a job with the Censors, work his way up the ladder, and intercept his own letter to send it through safely. He's hired easily, as there's a continuous need for new censors for reasons that we learn later in the story.

Juan quickly and easily works his way up the ranks at the Censor's Command. By the end of the first week, he's in the department that actually censors letters and is fully devoted to his work. Juan censors letter after letter, throwing away most of them that come across his desk.

One day, Juan's own letter lands on his desk. He's so focused on being the best censor possible that he mercilessly censors it and tosses it in the reject pile, which is a red flag to his superiors. Juan is executed the next day, 'another victim of his devotion to his work.'

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition instruments of communication that reach large audiences with
ratelena [41]

The definition "Instruments of communication that reach large audiences with no personal contact..." refers to mass media, as is explained in detail below.

<h3>What is mass media?</h3>

Let's analyze each word of the term "mass media" to better understand it:

  • Media - plural of medium; refers to the means or tools we use to do or achieve something.
  • Mass - refers to a large group of people.

Therefore, the term "mass media" describes tools that affect a very large group of people. Since the term is used in contexts referring to communication, we can say it describes a means of communication that reaches a lot of people at the same time.

An example of mass media is the television. A show is produced somewhere in the world, then it is broadcast to countless people all over the globe.
