Winston’s ending is shocking and interesting. The Party focuses on fixing its people rather than disposing of them. Winston craved to be something other than another droid the brainwashed population. His craving was his undoing. While off finagling with Julia, Winston’s confidence in the Brotherhood and rebellion grew. His unabridged trust for strangers led to Winston’s capture and symbolic death. The Ministry of Peace and O’Brien destroyed any piece of Winston that craved to be different or…

The dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, written by George Orwell depicts a totalitarian society under which language has enormous power and influence. Language is used for propaganda such as the Party slogan, ‘War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength’ as well as for the manipulation and control of thought. The Party creates its own language, newspeak, which is ‘the only language in the world whose vocabulary gets smaller every year’. Destroying language and reducing the number…

Dark grey dysfunctional world. A world that takes you to a negative environment, a world that is only in the movies, a world that us women really know, no different. Trapped in a box where the key has been thrown away, voices whisper demanding our every move. A taunting vicious creature creeping through our ears, ready to attack whenever it is hungry. The commanding voice so powerful it echoes for hours at a time, leaving no peace as it rapidly strikes again and again and again. We are in a…

2). In his apartment building there are posters “ with the enormous face gazed on the wall”(Orwell,2) and there is a specific picture which is “contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move” (Orwell,1). There is a phrase beneath it saying “Big Brother Is Watching You”. Today, satellites can track every move you make, while the internet can be a tool where people can hack your personal information and see what you are doing. Newspeak is a language that removes negative words, basically…

The novel 1984 reinforces the belief that the immorality and danger that accompanies holding people in prison without charging them creates concern towards the government. For instance, in 1984 there are four ministries: The Ministry of Truth, The Ministry of Peace, The Ministry of Plenty, and The Ministry of Love. The Ministry of Love’s name, like all others, is ironic as people who go against The Party are taken here to be tortured and killed. While in the Ministry of Love prisoners endure…

89 years ago, Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name, George Orwell, started his career in the writing of essays and novels. In 1949 he published his first dystopian novel, 1984. This story, like that of Children of Men directed by Cuaron, is set in an isolated London where the government has manipulated its people into submission. Evidently, these societies are not ones to strive towards, but what are these works trying to tell us? In these worlds, where morality is scarce and…

So supposedly because of the stars, I fit into our cosmic bubble because the stars are associated with the cosmic bubble. Stars were created when clumps of hydrogen formed together to create helium while releasing light. This fusion continued on until stars created enough iron and an enormous amount of energy explodes that is called a supernova.This fusion would not have been completed without the stars heating up to 13 miliion degrees. Stardust was then spread out with the elements and the…

also opposing himself at some points. Winston was acting as any main character of a dystopian story would: he didn’t believe everything that society was trying to tell him and he didn’t want to follow the rules established for him. He knows that “Big brother is always watching,” but he thinks that just because he has a little hiding spot in his house that he can’t be seen from that he is an exception to that rule. He also relies on his instinct and less on reason…

The song Spies by Coldplay indirectly represents the theme of 1984. The song opens up to a guy who can’t find any peace of mind. He feels as though he is living as a fugitive. He is looking for an answer and in comes the “spies”. He says that everyone are spies. No one can hide because the spies will find them. The novel 1984 can be described in this song. They make children spy on their parents. If the children turns in their parent for suspicious behavior, they get rewarded. There are also…
