In Book 2 Chapter 10, Winston noticed a women prole singing out in the courtyard. He was talking to Julia about this prole being the only one that can give hope to this society. Both Winston and Julia heard a voice coming from a picture in their room,they looked closer and discovered it was a telescreen. It gives them directions to stand still and not to make any movements. Then the Thought Police came into the room, targeting Julia, breaking a glass paperweight on her and took her.…
The mural "Going to The Olympics, 1984" by Frank Romero, was made in 1984 and put in Hollywood Freeway (101) North between Alameda and San Pedro St. to symbolize his historic point of view of going to the Olympics. The picture had five cars in the order of the color of the Olympics rings from left to right, a blimp with the writing "A GOODYEAR" on it, an iron, two silhouettes of people fighting, a horse, a stamp, five hearts on top of each car, and four palm trees. The mural has been mostly painted with the three primary colors, which are red, yellow, and blue. I believe that everything on this picture has a symbolic message of the journey to the Olympics or activities that most likely happen in one.…
The economy that has been established in Oceania is a socialist economy is a system where goods and services are shared equally and responsibly to a group of people. The many goods and foods are rationed to people equally. In part 1 chapter 3, coupons are distributed to outer party members to purchase items. Everything was counted for, they could not buy more food if they wanted too. Supplies were so scarce that they would run out of things such as razors like it was mentioned on page 59.…
1984 opens our eyes to a world of chaos and turmoil that many people don’t seem to realize relates to our present life. Granted, our current situation may not be as drastic as that of 1984 but many things in 2015 can relate to the events of 1984. Sadly, if we continue on this road, we could possibly end up living in a real world 1984 or even worse than that. One main factor included in 1984 is the use of children as the government’s spies and controlling them to do their bidding.…
His crushed many Olympic Athletes dreams, but even though they might not have gotten to represent the United States at the Olympic games they still stood behind President Carter and supported his decision. From the eyes of Olympic swimmer Glenn Mills, he and the other United States summer Olympic athletes watched their fellow winter Olympic athlete’s success and became more inspired to fulfill their own Olympic Dreams (Caraccioli & Caraccioli, 2001, p. 66). As the athletes watched on, they dreamed that the Soviet Union would pull their troops so they could go over and live their Olympic dream. There was still hope even after the deadline had passed, but in the next month all their hope began fade and the dream of competing in the 1980 summer Olympics vanished (Caraccioli & Caraccioli, 2001, p. 18). Even though Glenn Mills had lost his opportunity to be able to compete in the 1980 summer Olympic, he used that to fuel him for the next summer games in 1984.…
There has always been a fine line for me between the story and the reality. This is one of the many reasons why I find 1984 so special. After having read the novel and later on watched the movie, I took a moment to reflect on the different situations our world has been through, or going through. The movie 1984 presents a world that is unimaginable to our youth ears and eyes, a place where power is everything, and the less you know about the past, the better the future will be.…
The use of ethos is evident in this photograph because as Olympic runners, Smith and Carlos were well-respected, which gives them the credibility that focus audiences to take their protest seriously. Pathos is utilized because of the emotional connotation behind medal ceremonies. Earning a medal is often the zenith of a competitor’s athletic career, so this photograph contrasts our expectation of joy with the feeling of despair they are protesting and the feeling of power they are trying to evoke. Logos is also evident through the group of officials surrounding the…

Sports have created many celebrities over the years, like Michael Jordan and his wildly growing company with his clothing, and shoes. 1970 sports have been affected by new sports, feminist movement, and politics.…
1960s Sports Some people would say that the way professional sports were played in the 60s seemed exactly the same as it is now. Such as expansion and development and of course, the rule change to make the games much more exciting and entertaining to watch, but the sports wasn’t the only thing that was happening in the 60s However sports wasn’t the only thing going on in the 1960 through 1969.…
The Hunger Games versus 1984 Many dystopian novels portraying alternate universes with authoritarian governments exist for fiction lovers to read. In 1949, George Orwell published the original such a novel, 1984. The novel depicted a war and poverty infested world controlled completely by Big Brother and the Inner Party. Following its successful release, many additional authors began to also write dystopian novels, many of which paralleled the undertones of 1984.…
The place we identify as a society can be defined as a concept of control with amendments that simulate freedom through a false reality only rationalized through numbers and bureaucracy and transparent politicians that make excuses. Thinking is a simple idea of making choices through free will yet this concept of a brief freedom does not exist in the novel 1984 the main character questions the reality that he's living with the idea of free will is merely a joke. On the other hand, you have this twisted fantasy of equality projected in the short story Harrison Bergeron where every person is somehow forced to be equal with their counterpart and the government is absolute and no one dare question it. furthermore the film the Matrix is a mixture…

Every year, from each district two young people are selected by lottery to participate and represent their district in the annual Hunger Games.…
In the dictionary a hero is defined as a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, Winston is both a hero and an antihero because he does not have the typical traits that would make him a hero, although he is only trying to stop the reign of Big Brother. In Oceania he was considered to have a “normal” life because he had good job and “friends”. But even with all this he was not satisfied with what he had he felt like he was being watched and controlled with everything he did. Due to the constant surveillance from the party he became more and more rebellious not only against big brother but also against anyone who would try to make him do…
1984 and The Circle Since the beginnings of civilizations, mankind has tried to predict its future. Although it is impossible to know our fate, the direction that civilization has been heading with new technologies and large governments is alarming to some. Alarming enough for media such as the recently released movie, The Circle or the classic novel, 1984, has been produced as a warning of the future. Both The Circle and 1984 take place in a society in which the rights of the people are infringed. In essence, The Circle could potentially be a prequel to 1984.…
The modern Olympics was also progressively becoming shaped by economic interests as shown by documents 5, 7, and 9. The Olympics offered the prospect of great economic prosperity and commercial gain to companies that sponsored them and to countries that hosted them. The mayor of Tokyo, Ryotaro Azuma, explains in document 5 that the Olympic Games of 1964, which Japan hosted, helped the country recover economically from their defeat in World War II and eventually grow as a world trade power. This was beneficial to international trade and encouraged other countries that upon seeing Japan’s gain from playing host to the Olympics may have desired a similar rise in trade and economic influence. The Olympics were a means of improving a country’s economy…
