Would you please correct the mistakes in my sentences?
Trevor's socialist views were shaped by his father who believed that socialism and communism were the future of humankind. Even on his deathbed he didn't stop rambling about Marx, Engels, and the equal society. Trevor still could see in his mind's eye his mother sitting beside his father's bed, crying and shaking her head. She always hated to hear Benn talking about politics and would leave the room as soon as he started his monologue. She couldn't stand people who dreamed about Shangri-La while real life was passing by them.
When Trevor was a teenager, he bought Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago as a present to Benn's birthday, believing he was going to like it, but his father's reaction was the opposite. He glared at its cover and, without thanking him, put the book on the bookshelf, never to open it. Trevor understood that he had made a mistake by giving him the book, and also that his father didn't want to know what was really going on in his socialist Paradise. After Benn's death, he packed all his books in cardboard boxes and donated them to a charity shop. He kept only Solzhenitsyn's book, which he couldn't read without thinking of his father's naivety.
