who I am and my role serving the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). I was born an orphan raised by my single father, Park Ho Sung. My father was a great general who worked for the Korean People's Army led by our former Supreme leader, Kim Jong-Il. Father recently passed away, but taught me well under strict rules.

fabricated as to what Orwell believed modern society would be like in the year nineteen eighty four and on. Though the similarities may not match up to America’s current situation, North Korea’s dictatorship does. North Korea is currently lead by Kim Jong-un whose face is plastered on buildings much like that of Big Brother, the leader of Oceania. The totalitarian style government in 1984 has many similarities to North Korea’s present form of government. Citizens of North Korea and Oceania are…
