In the novel 1984, it talks about a society in the future that controls every aspect of life and every little move anyone makes is recorded and documented for the government to see. The saying “Big Brother is watching you” is referred to many times in this book since Big Brother is the leader of The Party and also the one that can be referred to as a god. With the advancement of technology at a steady rate, we may think to ourselves that this world may become what orwell described in his novel…

Eddie Rickenbacker in WWI World War I produced the first generation of the modern fighter pilot. Two of the most well-known of these were Frank Luke Jr and Eddie Rickenbacker. It was a physically and mentally demanding engagement; therefore even those who failed to reach fame during the war should be celebrated.

“Sleeping Beauty” renditions by Giambattista Basile and Charles Perrault over the years, there have been many ways in which the story was told about the original rendition of “Sleeping Beauty”, using the plot and character. With these different renditions written by Giambattista Basile and Charles Perrault, some aspects of this story are more graphic than others in Basile story. Basile expatiated about his love affairs, but failed to appeal to younger millennials in his edition “Sun, Moon, and…

The setting of the dystopian novel 1984 seems nightmarish and far-fetched. However, in some places the totalitarian rule of Big Brother is reality. In my opinion, the country that most resembles 1984 is North Korea. The society that main character Winston Smith lives in is characterized by overbearing government surveillance and mind-control of the population. Independent thought is completely outlawed, and people are regularly detained and severely punished if there is even the slightest…

For this project I really wanted to illustrate and…

Orwell used posters of Big Brother everywhere in the streets to strike fear in the citizens of Oceania. The citizens were also constantly watched by the party. There…
