*Hold for Laughter at Very Bad Pun*

Alyssa: 1984 by George Orwell is about a man named Winston Smith, who lives in the dystopian society of Oceania. The government, also known as the Party, is led by a man who goes by Big Brother, who I believe is not even a real person. Towards the end of the book, when Winston asks someone about it, they say, “Of course he exists. The Party exists. Big Brother is the embodiment of the Party,” (Orwell 214). Interesting way of putting

    1984 is interesting book, because the struggle between society and man, but not only is it him but a girl is involved. Everyone nowadays have their own way of freedom, even if one person is limited more than the other. We only have so much freedom in our lives, before it is limited.

    For a book that was written over 60 years ago it’s incredible that George Orwell’s prediction on government power and how the world would look like is scary accurate. Big Brother is something that is intact but government hides it from the people which is when a totalitarian government becomes enabled. 1984 is hell compared to the world we live in where mind control, government power, torture, and genocide take place. If I were to describe 1984 in one word it would be corrupt. War and hatred dominate Oceania where Government controls every aspect of your daily life from sun up to sun down Big Brother is watching you and the thought Police are always listening.…

    Kian Nafeiy 7.10.07 Polysci 121.9356 1984 1984, by George Orwell, is a book with symbols for what Orwell felt were important about government and other aspects of society that he had taken notice of, mostly representing the ideals of totalitarianism. The major parallel in 1984 to government is the rise of totalitarianism in government at the time the novel was written. Having taken note of the rule in countries such as Russia and Spain, Orwell chose to write a vivid and extreme vision of how he felt the government was playing a large role in the personal lives of citizens, with no privacy and stripped of the freedoms people should be entitled to.…

    "It 's a Beautiful Thing": Art, Culture, History and Humanity in George Orwell 's 1984 In 1984 George Orwell pulls readers into his horrific and at the same time awe- inspiring totalitarian society, dictated by a dystopian political system that builds a world on omnipresent surveillance, public manipulation, oppression, hatred, propaganda and "their sole motive, [which is] the quest for power" (Paul 215) . Due to the unconditional control the party has over Oceania, there is evidently a paucity of beauty, culture and history. Art plays a crucial part of humanity, history and our depiction of the truth.…

    When a person first thinks of an overpowering government, what comes to mind? None other than the ruler who uses their iron fist to smash his opposition into submission and acceptance of the rulers demands. The rulers of this novel are called “The Party” which uses the name Big Brother. It is clear that the iconical figure of Big Brother has their eyes set to the people because “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU (Orwell 3)” and there is no comfort when a person’s every move is being watched by a collective person who is both larger and stronger than that person. This symbol of oppression uses stiffening fears and lack of privacy to allow The Party to ensure that none disagree with their demands.…

    Published just four years apart, with 1984 in 1949 and Fahrenheit 451 in 1953, Ray Bradbury and George Orwell shared many ideas about how a dystopian society may function. Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 show a number of similarities and some differences based on Orwell and Bradbury’s ideas, which the reader can easily point out while reading each novel. Over 50 years later, one may observe the two side-by-side and identify the parallels between them, including everything from character development to plot structure. Some even find it hard to believe that Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, published years after 1984, took no inspiration from Orwell. Each book contains a daring protagonist, an equally daring counterpart, an oppressive government, and an…
