Why do we choose to believe things without solid evidence ? Humans are ignorant creatures , they either choose to be ignorant or is made that way through a higher power than themselves . We simply define ignorance as a lack of knowledge but it is much more than that. Ignorance is what urges us to believe in the lies that society feeds us. I would define ignorance as not only the lack of information but also the act of refusing to accept information that opposes your ideals. Lynch’s…

Orwell, on the other hand, illustrates what happens if the Proletariats or in the case of the novel the “Proles,” miss their calling because of the oppressive forces of…

of society. As you know, Trump is powerful, demanding, rich. Cruz dropped out of the race, essentially making him poor, and a wimp. Then you have the Proles, the large, strong humans that beat themselves up from working so hard, or as I like to call them, BERNIE SANDERS. Sanders works his butt off to help get America back on track, just like the Proles work hard every day for a living.

In regards to 1984… wait this book is The Handmaid’s Tale, same difference. The similarities between 1984, a dystopian novel written in 1944, and The Handmaid’s Tale, a alternative dystopian novel written in 1985, are clear cut.

The similarities can only be described as if Margaret Atwood was referencing 1984 with…

do not experience freedom as it was evidenced by the use of the telescreens, the Thought Police, and the brainwashing scene at the end of the book. To begin, the telescreens were used to watch over the Inner and Outer Party, as well as some of the proles, to see if they are doing anything forbidden like writing their thoughts in a diary or making a face. A perfect example of this is in Chapter 1 page 2 where it is stated…

only thing that is different about Winston is his resentment toward Big Brother. When not working, he likes to write in his secret journal about the real past and any information that may go with it, and he also likes to stroll in the prole district, because proles have the closest resemble with the past that exists today. He is very intelligent and knows how to hide his…
