Propaganda in 1984 Versus Propaganda in the Real World Propaganda is the act of convincing others that their cause is justified. Governments in the real world have been using propaganda as a tool to influence their citizens since World War I. In George Orwell’s 1984 the Government of Oceania, the Party, uses propaganda as a means of controlling and twisting the beliefs of the party members. Propaganda in the real world has not only been used to convince others that a certain cause is righteous…

In the last few pages of his captivating novel, The Pigman, author Paul Zindel uses very heartbreaking and emotional techniques to create the events that lead up to the Pigman’s demise at the end of the story. The three main suspects I have for Mr. Pignati’s death are Norton, Bobo, and John. The first factor/character to cause Mr. Pignati’s death is Norton. One reason is that after he barged into Mr. Pignati’s house while John was throwing a party inside the house, he proceeded to trash Mr.…

The story The Masque of the Red Death as it is written by Edgar Allan Poe holds meanings relating to doom that stretches far beyond oneself tuberculosis, and these themes are made apparent because of the figure in the red mask. One idea that commonly pops into the heads of the readers of this story is that the figure in the red mask embodies and represents the Red Death itself, and I believe this is true. The narrator read "...Now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death" (Poe). Though it…

Every human is born with rights that they will have until they perish. Some of the rights do not stay with them, the rights depend on the choices he or she makes throughout their life. In 1984, the author does not give humans many of those same rights that we take for granted, such as the freedom of privacy. Even the NSA watches over us in some aspects, we can do many things without other people noticing us. Orwell uses the Party taking away the citizens’ rights and freedoms to dehumanize them.…

This quote gives us a dark and miserable look at just how manipulative Big Brother and his Party can be. Before Winston had gone through this torture he believed that the only thing that the party couldn't control was the inner workings of the human brain. However after this quote we see just how horrible the party can be. They were able to find Winston's weakness and exploit them so that he had no choice but to conform to what the party wanted. He was broken down as a man and had lost all of…

For example, in the book 1984 they are forced to grow up believing in what the party wants them to believe in an obeying the rules the isolated community has for the people, just like it has/is occurring…

It is amazing how some things can be so alike and yet so different. That is certainly shown in “1984” by George Orwell and “One flew over the cuckoo's nest” by Ken Kesey. Although these two books are different it is amazing how some of the themes and characters overlap. In 1984 their villain/main antagonist is a concept/group and in One flew over the cuckoo's nest their villain/main antagonist is also a concept. In George Orwell’s “1984” the villain is basically the party who is basically…
