"Report of the Academy is a short story by Franz Kafka told from the perspective majmuna.Majmun, Red Peter, called for a red mark on his cheek, the only sign of thinking that distinguishes it from its predecessors 'Peter', addresses the distinguished audience of academics theme of his life. Much of what he "remembers" said he. he does not remember, for example, at the time of his arrest. that evening he came to the shore to drink as usual. When a shot rang all the monkeys in his troops dispersed. He was just one shot. He does not remember the pain of the two wounds-one on the cheek, "a little early," and one below the hook, the cause of his limp-five years later. This part of his story is said to be a long after the event.
His own memories, although it is impossible to be sure, he started when he 'came' from the deck steamer that ferried him from the jungle. His new home is a three-sided cage nailed to the cabinet: "The whole building was too low for me to get up and too narrow to sit in. So I had to squat with their knees bent and trembling all the time, and also, since it is likely for the time I wanted to see one, and to remain in the dark, my face is turned towards the store, while bars of the cage cut into my body behind. "Those first days were hell. He was alone, uncomfortable, hungry, mocked the crew. The beast in a cage
realized that he had to find a way out. But as far as Hagenbeck, his captured it comes to a place for a monkey in a cage. To get out of the cage had to stop being a monkey. "OK, clear thought, that I must have somehow built with my stomach because it apes think with their stomachs ."
He did not know at that time to affect this change, only that it is unclear seed is implanted in his head. He began to observe the people around him. They held no great attraction to him, not like they went with such a "serious face." But the more he watched them come to understand more. "It's just a mass of weight to their observations, which impelled me in the right direction": he imagined that the more similar they may be relieved of the condition that he found himself in. After looking at the world around him, he built the (im) possibility of escape.

Red Peter persisted. At every moment he was stretched physically and mentally, as he forced a new way of perceiving the world, a new way of moving the hands, eyes, mouth. It's like what people say about babies, that are quick to learn and develop your habits, behavior and movement. Now Red Peter undergo the same process, but not, like, the nule.Iscrpljenosti accepted as part of their 'destiny', as required, and the only way out.
His move came in a series of discoveries. The biggest came one night when the party below deck. Most of the crowd were pleased with them and not paying Red Petra any attention. One of them, perhaps even in a state of intoxication, he put the bottle near his cage. Red Peter, eager to please, took the bottle and "Uncorked to professional." The group began to turn into ones and twos, their attention and interest is slowly mounting. Red Peter wanted his audience, place it on your lips and "without a grimace, as a professional drinker, with rolling eyes and full throat, really and truly drunk is empty, and then threw the bottle away, this time not in despair, but as an artist performers, I forgot, indeed, rub my belly, but instead, because i could not help because my senses are reeling under the name of a short and clear, "Hallo!" breaking into human speech, and thus broke the advent of the human community, and felt his response: "Listen, he says" as concerns over the whole of my sweat drenched body ."
Since then, Red Peter's progress and future are determined. He knew he was no ordinary monkey, not a 'zoo monkey. "The point now is that it further, to see how far this monkey can travel to mankind. So, Red Peter went under test: The food is on the high ridge above his reach. Red Peter is hungry. He knows that screaming, or turning your back will not get him any more food, or bring more praise and praise, he understands, is what keeps him alive. So, obediently, he moves through the corner and pulled over the two wooden boxes under your belt. He climbs up and gets banane.Muškaraca in white coats smile at one another and speak the sounds of encouragement, even though the Red Peter does not understand what they mean. So, the Red Peter's sleek as an "intelligent" beings, a close relative. In the space of five short years fail to reach the "cultural level of the average European." In itself that might be nothing to talk about, but it's something in that has helped my cage and opened a special way for me, the way of humanity. "

...No doubt, his fate is a terrible one. We found out later from bouts of depression, suffering, his need to be alone, his persistent and intense feelings of resentment towards the people. However, his words convey a sense of achievement: he managed to escape from the cage was brought up in a three-sided against his will. And how did he escape? By his own admission he had escaped through his intelligence. "And so I learned things, gentlemen Ah, you must learn;. Learn when to exit;. Teaches at any cost" Red Peter taught, because he had to, because he was faced with two choices: life in a cage or a life outside cages. "There was nothing else for me to do, provided always that freedom is not to be my choice ."
...In the early days of the board, through the first fog of his growing awareness, Red Peter weighed their options. Among his sobbing, his apathetic licking coconut, the pain of bars, was filled with just a desperate feeling: no way out. "Of course what I felt then like a monkey can represent now only in human terms, and because I had wrong, but although I can not get back to the truth of the old ape life, there is no doubt that he is somewhere in the direction I have indicated. Until then I had so many ways from anything else, and now i have none. "He realized that no output is needed to develop one," and should be out to prove that it is an illusion. "He considered the possibility of escape, of let the monkeys must always be possible'-now his teeth are filed down and straight, but he must have had sharp teeth, then teeth capable of cracking nuts. But even if a bit through the lock, they would catch him again and treat it all up. It's not as if the Red Peter asked a lot. He did not want to abstract 'freedom', in which some people blindly pursue. He just wanted out, way to exercise your hands and feet, breathing air, in choosing where to go and what to do "just does not remain motionless with raised arms, crushed against a wooden wall ".
Mankind began to appreciate the Red Peter's progress as a movement of equality. They perceive the untamed Red Petra, stupid, befouled, picking ears of animals. They saw red Petra imitation as some hope that it's really more to it than just that, something imagined by previous experiments, the manner in which certain noises' made 'were' as saying, "or some similarities between male and female" as are in love'.
This is determinism in its most brutal form of: calculating and reducing the world of endless tautologies: the intelligent ape? Monkey shows that she is intelligent, if it gets food, the monkey get food must be intelligent. This generally applies to determinism. Of course, the monkey can learn and develop, but only from a position less, from a position of inferiority: it's never been a study that defines the parameters of the civilized and uncivilized
.Red Peter's fate is determined by the choice: to live like us or die as their own. He had no way of continuing as a monkey, not the world's people. Transformation, adaptation, progress, changes that have been held with him as they are empowering. "I repeat: there was no attraction for me in imitating human beings, and I imitated them because I needed a way." This recognition should cause consternation: he did not want to become human, he was forced against his will. After the surprise subsides radical sense of his confession becomes clear: The monkey is intelligent before he learned to speak, before he learned how to tie his bow tie, before he learned how to drink brandy from a dirty bottle. He was intelligent from the start.
desire to make things more equal than "raising the inferior" is nothing more than re-constitution of inequality through attribution and determinizma.Način to break this cycle is to confirm one way of knowing, being, of relating to the world. It is not easy to do. It can not be regulated and represented. It emerges through intelligence and expression of individuals, through moments of desire or fear, as an experienced Red Petra in his cage.
Red Peter explains how his life as a monkey is forgotten. "I could be back in the beginning, people were allowed, through an archway wide range of sky above the earth, but as I encouraged in my career, forced open the narrowed and fell behind me, I felt more comfortable in a world of people and are equipped to better. "But he added that everyone, man and monkey alike, holds the potential for that first, stuttering encounter with the world. "Everyone on earth feels a tingling in the heel, a small chimpanzee, and equally great Achilles ."
