existed. Room 101 is where the Party uses one’s biggest fear to create an unbreakable loyalty towards the great Big Brother. People know that no matter where they are or what they do, the Party always discovers their indiscretions. The very omnipresence of Big Brother is best reflected in these words of Graham Good, “totality shows itself by creating and then abolishing the illusion of its own perfection” (63). 1984 emphasizes a totalitarian dictatorship and demonstrates what life could be…

In Discipline and Punish, Michel Foucault breaks down the premises of a panoptic system, outlining the mechanics through which it controls a population and linking it to other structures seen throughout a society, such as in prisons and schools. An example of such evident in the implementation of new grading rubrics for English teachers across America in 1923. The essays of 12th graders nationwide, who wrote under the same conditions, formed the base of a design for a national rubric, consisting…
