have taken place in this world. History is impacted by Individuals, whether the individual acts on their own accord or works within their group or cabinet of people; history has been written. There are two people that I would like to focus on, Sir Winston Churchill, whom served as Prime Minister for Great Britain and Adolf Hitler who was named Chancellor and the leader of the Third Reich. These two men were once in charge of their respective countries, eventually they both led their…

to Oceania’s Ministry of Love. Orwell introduces the Ministry of Love in the first chapter, explaining how the department “maintained law and order” and “was the really frightening one” (Orwell 12). Winston experiences the nightmarish reality in the ministry later in the novel. O’Brien asks Winston, “...why do you imagine that we bring people to this place?” (Orwell 413). The reason O’Brien ultimately gives should strike fear in the hearts of all who love freedom and should serve as a dire…

be called the evacuation of British forces in 1940 during World War II but in reality, was so much more. More than 300,000 troops were evacuated from Dunkirk and the surrounding beaches in May and June 1940. At the time the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said it was "a miracle of deliverance". The “miracle” was that it was not naval vessels that rescued them but instead ordinary people that sailed across the English Channel in their own boats. Recently, as part of my history class, we…

The ever-growing possibility of the panoptic design and totalitarianism ideologies are shown entirely within the pages of 1984 by George Orwell. The mind within, is a trap. Imagine living within the dystopian society of 1984, where thinking is wrong. Big Brother is the trigger that catches all those who question Big brother. There is only one way to survive in a world where ideas are commonly practiced and enforced is to become one with yourself. Which boils down and leaves but one choice, trust…

Delivered on June 4, 1940, Winston Churchill’s speech “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” is one of the most recognized speeches during World War II. Churchill, who at the time was the prime minister of the United Kingdom did not actually broadcast this speech to the citizens of the United Kingdom, rather to the House of Commons. In fact, it was not until 1949 that people were able to listen to his own voice delivering the speech after Churchill was persuaded to record it for the benefit of younger…

The “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” speech is the most famous speech in the world. The author, Winston Churchill is Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. This speech is given after he was appointed Prime Minister of United Kingdom. In the first way of World War II, the United Kingdom is in danger. In order to unite all the forces that can be united, Churchill gave this speech. He used his attic faith, sincere words to move the audiences. And this speech sent a clear message that the United…

President John F. Kennedy once said “conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” The concept of conformity and individuality is clearly illustrated in the novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. Like most dystopian societies, Fahrenheit 451 contains a damaged society in which the people watch excessive amounts of television on wall size sets, listen to music on seashell radio sets, and drive extremely fast, not afraid to hit animals or people. The masses never think…

Americans felt that being in a war was great and something to be excited about. They were proud of their contribution in the war and believed they were doing the right thing. It seemed like a fairy tale, where everyone was happy and war was the best thing that was happening to America. The Best War Ever: America and WWII by Michael CC Adams, supports the idea that Americans were blinded by being ignorant on what was actually happening overseas. Having propaganda promote war and popular products…

When I realize how far the world has come in the decades of the past, I marvel at man’s ability to efficiently collaborate and make good things come out of teamwork, even through the barriers of the varying cultures in the world, including different languages, governments, and the great distances that lie between our countries. Together, our world has accomplished incredible tasks—from organizing the Olympic Games to our willingness to help after tragedy strikes. Though much has been achieved,…

1984 and- amoung other points- is developed and assisted by symbols. 1984 tells the tale of a man named Winston Smith in his “heroic” battle fighting against the Party, his oligarchical society.

At the end, Winston and Julia are caught by Mr. Charrington and the other Thought Police members and they are taken to…
