example, in chapter 7, Winston says “ If there is hope, it lies in Proles.” This is saying that 85 percent of Oceania could face the force to destroy the party ever be generated. Winston lets the proles have a chance at overcoming the power of the big brother and the party. Winston thinks that if the Proles could become aware of the strengths that the proles have, then Winston wouldn’t have to make a so called plan, and they could blow the party away and everything would be ok. This is irony of…

is given. The protagonists usually feel that something is terribly wrong in the society that he/she lives in which happens to both Winston and Katniss. Winston feels that the proles should be able to have their own thoughts instead of what the Party/Big Brother makes them think. Katniss feels that the kids of each district should not have to be entered in the games as they were not the ones who started the war in the past. 1984 and Mockingjay use dystopian literatures characteristics for…

In George Orwell’s book, 1984, the world was completely controlled by The Party, who shut out any type of good. When love is completely removed from a person’s life, they basically become empty and void of any good emotions. If a society in the real world was based on hate, it is highly unlikely that it would last. Hate leads to violence, and violence leads to death. I think that if America was based on hate, there would be a possibility that it would be like The Purge. In the movie, The Purge,…

“DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER!” (Orwell 20) A line said by the main character in 1984, Winston Smith. This quote perfectly describes his hatred for The Party. As for his lover, Julia, is shown to be more a fan of Big Brother, and has no hatred in the story, or so it seems. Knowing the life, details, personality, and similarities and differences between characters is very important in the novel. What is also important are the ways they both rebel. Finally, how effective or…

freedom, and technical. Living in a society with limited freedom is not the way any one wants to live. Big Brother controlled everything, including one's thoughts, feelings, sex, and any expression of individuality. They could not even express the way they thought or felt because there was someone from the thought police around, or that the giant telescreen in every citizen’s room shouts “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU”. “Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper…

This year, I’ve read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Most Dangerous Game, Station Eleven, Harrison Bergeron, and 1984. All of these stories show many of my beliefs, but 1984 best shows them. 1984 best shows my beliefs because of its warnings about surveillance and power-hungriness. George Orwell wrote 1984 to warn the world about dangers he foresaw. One warning expressed through 1984 is the use of devices called “telescreens” to keep track of everyone’s actions. He warns that surveillance voids basic…

Throughout time access to information has been controlled by many different organisations. This controlling of information can sometimes be used for ulterior motives, which members of society may not be aware of. This fear of manipulation is displayed throughout many forms of text, from different time periods. By analysing George Orwell’s 1984, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and Fifteen Minutes of Shame I have been able to compare…

Basically almost everything is held by gravity in space. Some astronomers believe some galaxies as held by black holes. But is that really the case? The short period of growth of the universe started of as the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. After the Big Bang the universe started to cool of, starting protons and neutrons, hydrogen, helium, lithium and more. Stars, planets, galaxies started to form during the process. According to the European Space Agency's Herschel Telescope…

“God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us,” these words of Machiavelli pertains to Anthony Burgess’ thoughts on the importance of free will. In the daunting novel, A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess uses the story to tell the audience that free will is a right to everyone and the government can’t take that away. The novel is set in an English town in the 1960’s. A Clockwork Orange is a blunt novel about Alex, a…

Who would have thought of someone proposing like this in a live TV show? When it comes to proposals, men are surprising women in an instant. They don't announce or letting them know in advance. They can strike any time they want, because proposing is always the unexpected one. It can be at the mall, church, beach, playground or so, it doesn't matter at all. What really matters is that the love of one man could be good enough for a woman to get convinced in loving him as well. This is what…
