This shows that the theme of this story is that to things aren’t always as they may seem. Another literary device the author uses is imagery. This helps develop the theme because where and when this story takes place is very important. It is so important because if the day wasn’t so chilly she probably would not have worn her coat and those teenagers would have never made a comment about how ratty her fur was and would have never made the realization…

But it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people: Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.” After researching the Great Depression, I discovered that the quote, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself” is the most famous phrase from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s first inaugural speech. FDR gave his inaugural speech after his election in 1932. From this, we can conclude that the story began in 1933.…

Consequently, the Party is always present within their lives and influences their behavior, which eliminates all forms of peaceful solitude within their lives. Bernstein asserts that the Party dehumanizes its people by removing its people’s right to seclusion: “This subjugation of human spirit is manifested by Orwell in his depiction of the frightening techniques of mind control: from the ubiquitous posters of Big Brother with eyes that follow you, to the electronic eye of the telescreen which invades even privacy of the bedroom” (26). Afraid of the Party’s scrutinous surveillance, the citizens of Oceania helplessly acclimate themselves to living according to the Party’s tacit rules to evade penalty.

The story is centered on the life of a narrator, who is only identified G. H. She basically just sits in her servant’s room and has these bizarre, inevitable thoughts. It is though that G.H.’s entire life is very structured, planned, and well-organized.…
