There was no telescreens, but there must be hidden microphones; besides they could be seen but were slightly hidden by bushes. Julia looked up but it was more of a glance than a stare.

“I betrayed you.” She said blankly.

I look up at her knowingly. I knew she betrayed me the moment I set eyes in her. The guilt looked like it was eating her alive.

“Why did you?” I ask, curious to know why she would engage in such a relationship with me to just rat me out.

“He forced me. He said he would tell on me if I didn't.” she says. Her shoulders slump and she looks even more fatigue. Footsteps could be heard coming toward us so I spoke up,” We need to meet again.” She perked up and her eyes pierced into mine. People didn't think of

I like doing what I do and I don't want to be tied down and hurt you. I want to have fun and be free. Besides, they will deny the request anyway. This is just way too much.

“But I thought you felt the same way?” i ask heartbroken.

When Catherine left me, I felt upset and lonely but when I met Julia, it was like a refreshing. Like I was wondering in the desert, and Julia was my oasis. Everything became brighter and exciting until now. It is like the oasis became a mirage, dry and empty.

I should have known she wouldn't feel the same way. I backed away from her and took off down the street. I headed to my apartment furious, upset, and rejected. In the apartment, I slump in my desk chair and stare at the telescreen that I knew was watching. I can't live like this any longer so quietly I repeat the words that I so clearly remember.

“Down with Big Brother, down with Big Brother.” I say. It started out as a whisper until I was full blown yelling.

“Down with Big Brother, Down with Big Brother.” I repeat.

I was standing now throwing my fiat repeatedly in the air. I knew they were watchung. I knew they were listening. I knew they were coming. I sat back down in my chair and awaited their arrival. It wasn't long before I heard rushed footsteps coming to my room. The door burst open and an officer came

I want to start off to let you guys know that you aren't in any trouble, we just need some information on your friend Christian.” She studied the group in front of her: Hailey Trooper, Becky Rimes, Celina Moore, Tristan Reese, and an older woman whom she presumed to be Tristian’s mother. She studied the teens, Hailey and Celina both had short brown hair and braces, and the glimmer in their brown eyes reminded Heather of her wild and reckless days.

    There was low-toned talk among the troops. The officers were impatient and snappy, their countenances clouded with the tales of misfortune. The troops, sifting through the forest, were sullen. In the youth's company once a man's laugh rang out. A dozen soldiers turned their faces quickly toward him and frowned with vague displeasure.…

    On Monday night about 8 o'clock, I reached the guard, about 100 people passed it and went towards the custom house where the king's money is lodged. They immediately surrounded the sentry posted there, and with clubs and other weapons threatened to execute their vengeance on him. I was soon informed by a townsman their intention was to carry off the soldier from his post and murder him. I immediately sent a non-commissioned officer and 12 men to protect both the sentry and the king's money, and very soon followed myself to prevent, if possible, all disorder. Nay, so far was I from intending the death of any person that I suffered the troops to go to the spot where the unhappy affair took place without any loading in their pieces; nor did I ever give orders for loading them.…

    The long, peculiar note of a bugle sounded, borne to us on the raw morning air to interrupt our conversation. It rose with a low, clear, warble, and seemed to float in the gray sky like the note of a lark. As it died away, I perceived that the atmosphere had changed; despite the equilibrium established by the storm, it was dynamic. The men thrust forward their heads, expanded their eyes and clenched their teeth. They breathed arduously, as though strangled by yanking at the leash.…

    I'm miserable. I have not recorded anything for a time, despite making an attempt to avoid wasting what is left of my time in this wretched trench. Some nights back a cloudburst happened which left both sides basically fallen. As luck would have it did not hurt anyone but creating it very difficult to fight. Nowadays I think of these trenches as holding cells for prisoners, the site I am guaranteed to spend the remaining months of my life in until i am eventually exhausted and then we are killed like some pack of mice in laboratory experimentation.…

Besides, the only time she could continue to talk to me required stayed here for even longer after dark. Staying for any amount of time after dark at Freddy Fazbear's pizza was dangerous, and I couldn't possibly make her have to go through what the night guards here had to go through...…

    It was a quiet Friday at Henry’s. There were only five customers scattered around the restaurant. There was elderly couple at one of the booths quietly eating their food, two younger men at the bar chatting about their plans for the night; and one man sitting near the window and reading the local tabloids. Both George and Lennie were, in the back of the restaurant, working. George was cleaning dishes, while Lennie was trying his best to mop.…

    ‘1984’ is written by George Orwell and follows the character Winston throughout his life and his constant struggles with the party fabricating truth, changing truth and controlling truth. Orwell uses a variety of techniques to get across the point of ‘who decides truth’ in the dystopian setting of Eurasia. Orwell does this through Winston himself and also characters talking to Winston through certain literary techniques which are often obvious. Orwell uses Winston to showcase fabrication of truth in this dystopian setting using the quote “It struck me as curious that you can create dead men but not living ones”. Winston says this after being given the task to re-write an article about a fallen soldier which never existed.…
