about Big Brother is “Big Brother is watching you”, because the party that was Big Brother was watching everyone at all times. And they would say they watched you, track you, and not promit certain things for your own sake.

As hinted by the title, teeth play a significant role in Smith’s novel and make appearances throughout the novel. I argue that Smith uses teeth to represent one’s identity and their history. Through this identity, teeth show the conflict the characters have with having control over their identity and the fate their pasts have already dictated. When Clara loses her teeth, it…
