George Orwell 's 1984 Become Real

In the the book 1984 by George Orwell it’s a town where the people believe in one person “ big brother” . In this book if you disobey the big brother you will get tortured or some kind of punishment. Winston a quiet 39 living in Oceania who does not believe in the big brother although trying to hide it he disobeyed the rules and had to get punished.

The idea about human to reconcile the uncertainties of the past with a new or present situation. Throughout the year I studied the texts about, novel 1984 by George Orwell, a film Good Will Hunting and Shakespeare's play Hamlet. In these texts because the characters' uncertainty about the past, they won’t succeed in future situations in their lives. I'm referring from the text of how these uncertainties can have an effect for these protagonists throughout the story until they reach tougher situations.

Nineteen-Eighty Four opens on a cold April day in the dreary city of London, Oceania. Our protagonist, Winston Smith, is a cynical aging man who’s perpetually sick and unhappy. Winston works at the Ministry of Truth, where he writes, destroys, and rewrites history at the Party’s word. In Oceania, one of the three totalitarian superpowers in the world, Big Brother is the beloved leader depicted all around on propaganda posters that remind citizens that Big Brother is watching you. The Party’s word is the final unquestionable truth and dissent is strictly not tolerated. In Oceania, War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.

When George Orwell wrote his novel, 1984, Hitler and Mussolini had recently been defeated in World War II, the nuclear arms race was warming up and the Soviet Union was a threat to the world. Although these are not problems in today's society, 1984 is still very relevant in current time, "The twentieth century will soon be over, but political terror still survives and this is why Nineteen Eighty-four remains valid today” (Ricks 5). In the novel 1984 the main character Winston is faced with challenges when he meets a woman named Julia. Julia makes him question his loyalty to the government. They are living under a totalitarian government that sees everything you do, hears everything you say, and knows everything you think. George Orwell’s novel 1984 is still relevant in today’s society.

alignment with Big Brother. The logic behind having Big Brother is so society doesn’t have to distress about anything but themselves, everything is taken care of by the government. People live by the ambition that is given by the government, we believe what is told to us. We learn to hate what is told to us for example the Japanese with Pearl Harbor. We hated the Japanese for what they did to us on December 14, 1975 but have now learned to like them due to the government telling us that they are our allies.

Just as Orwell’s style of writing kills Winston’s freedom, he chooses to write in the first person to show Winston’s psychological breakdown. Throughout the novel, Winston’s view of himself deteriorates as the Party becomes more involved in his life. After being half-starved and beaten for weeks by the Party, Winston takes a look at himself through a mirror: “A bowed, gray-colored, skeleton like thing was coming towards him. . . It was his own face.. “You did it,” cried Winston” (Orwell 223-225).

dear Mrs. Marghiem. Recently I read George Orwell’s, 328 paged book 1984. Originally called Nineteen Eighty-Four, was published on June 8, 1949. The book was a huge success, but after getting tuberculosis, Orwell had a limited time to experience the books success, dying on January 21, 1950 he never lived to see 1984 and the big hair it brought with it. But however this book has left a lasting mark on the world of literature for now and years to come. I have to warn you this book is not a light read its probably the heaviest read you can get from a book that only has 328 pages in it. There were many times I had to stop reading for sake of keeping my mind from blowing up.

Nevertheless, the reader finds himself rooting for Winston because he is the “right” in a “wrong” society. The intended audience of this book does not see Oceania as a free society because, in Western culture, people need individualism to be free. This book depicts a society in which individualism is in every way prohibited. Therefore, Winston seems to stand out as a hero

In a world where manipulation is required, thought is crime, and love is forbidden, it is questioned how much of a person is left once his or her life is stripped of such basic freedoms. This is the question a reader asks as he or she is immersed into the world George Orwell created in his classic novel, 1984. As Winston Smith, the main character in Orwell’s novel, navigates through the cruel and oppressive society of Oceania, readers are allowed to see how the oppressiveness of the world in which he lives affects the lives of not only Winston but also the society as a whole. However, as time passes, Winston becomes a character that starts to inwardly question the world around him while being forced to outwardly conform for his own safety. Throughout the novel, a reader can begin to compare the feelings and thoughts of Winston to the mass majority of the population that continues to blindly conform to the government of Oceania. In this contrast, one can begin to understand how the relationship between outward conformity and inward inquisition contributes to the theme of oppression and the meaning of the work as a whole by showing the oppression that Winston feels through his inner thoughts.

1984 is an appropriate text to use for this prompt because Winston Smith can be utilized throughout the essay. Essentially, the inhumane and vile standards of Oceania can be discussed in addition to how Winston is affected by and responds to these standards. A student writer may respond to this prompt by specifically discussing three of the four ministries in Oceania. Primarily, the Ministries of Truth, Peace, Plenty, and Love are the four sections of society operated by the Party. The writer would be advised to discuss how Winston is affected by and responds to each Ministry after describing Oceania’s standards.

“1984” is an imaginary novel wrote by George Orwell in 1949. The novel takes place in a fictional country called Oceania. In 1984, the society is a mess in the control of the “big brother”, people are leveled by three three classes: the upper class party, the middle outer class party, and the lower class proles. But the lower class make up 85 per cent of the people in Oceania. Winston is a outer class party member working for the “big brother”. This novel uses Winston as an example to show how the “big brother” takes the control by mind, manipulation and technology.

The quote from Winston’s diary in 1984 illustrates the acts of rebellion he has towards the “totalitarian” government in Oceania. Winston’s urge to challenge the political regime that rules the all of Airstrip One, as he sometimes, have the flash back from the past and through his fantasies, he envision the future without the totalitarian government. Winston, however, is craving for freedom of being in a world where people are not being watched, and where they can act, feel and do whatever they desire. As mentioned in the Sparknote Editors’ summary of 1984 that the history shows “Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia, but Winston knows that the records have been changed. Winston remembers that no one had heard of Big Brother, the leader of the Party, before 1960 …” (1; bk. 1). This past in Winston’s mind strengthens his mind to rebel and refuse to be convinced by the Big Brother. In reference to the future, Winston’s fantasies of having total control of his life, which then lead to “dreams of a place called The Golden Country, where the dark-haired girl takes off her clothes and runs toward him in an act of freedom that annihilates the whole Party” (1; bk. 1). The past and future in Winston’s quote contribute to the factor that strengthens his urge to rebel, which then lead to his journaling as a way to expressing his repressed emotions. In addition, Winston wishes a world where people could count on each other, provide support to each

They're ruthless. You see one of them coming after you there's no chance of survival, even the strongest looking men and women have fallen to their skill. The way they throw their knives and shoot their arrows are so precise, the way they slash their swords and jolt their punches just scream deadly. It's obvious they are something to be scared of.

During the third quarter of the year when we read 1984 I mastered how to connect literature to today’s society and current events. Winston Smith lived in Oceania and was under direct control of the Party.

Hopelessness, deep and gaping ever lasting hopelessness. If the course of humanity fails to change, to this everyone will succumb. That is the message that George Orwell has left for the future, and it would be in humanity's best interest to heed. Winston Smith of 1984 lived in a world that had been consumed by the everlasting abyss of injustice. Eventually this world became too much for our hopeful protagonist and thus, like the future that is bound to a horrific fate, he succumbed. “It was like swimming against a current that swept you backwards however hard you struggled, and then suddenly deciding to turn round and go with the current instead of opposing it” (Orwell 248). No one in this world is any different than Winston, they will follow his path like all of those before them, following the five stages of Kübler-Ross. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance make up the cycle that every feeble life will follow and that Winston grew to know all too well.
