Q 7 1984

the author critisized the way of the country was at that era. so he demonstrated his feelings with writing a book. he compared it with the animal farm also but with 1984 too. 1984 is the book where the author demonstrate his feelings and emotions strongly with vivid images and powerful ideas. he believes that "totaliterialism" is not a good way to make people live because it makes people get fool and just idiot. no thinking, no ideas, no learning, no individualism, no owner of a property no love with others except for the high class who is ruling the society of totali. everything is getting too sel;fish and strange. it only creates people how to betray their own parents, (junior spies) and depress. no sentiments is allowed. no real coffee, no real milk, no real tea, no sugarm no bread. the author gave specific examples to make the readers more intense and scarier that totaliteria. sholdn;t be now. it just gives only negative effects where people has no tight to vote, and develop self to be intelligent. the society is getting just destopia rather than utopia. what the author want is not Utopia but a better world republic at least. there more opportunities are to improve in social, politic, self determination menaing in whcih government the citizen would choose to live and economics. everything seems more positive than Total... so the author wants to say that total. shoud never ever be present with destroying people with torture.

Q6 1984

one of the most memorable and significant passage is when Winston says 2+2= 5. this was said by Winston in the end of the book. Winston who never liked the governmnet and who was agaisnt it found himself changd after the physical tortutre done by Obrien who had the exact same situation as Winston years ago. Winston got caught by Obrien and went in the Ministry of Love where he never visited inside since he wasn't allowed to. However when he gets there he sees that no windows are present but also the lights are not present. all seems like a jail which is the right answer. during the torture and the way Obrien move the power of the machine which torrture Winston, he now becomes able to change mind slowly. although he resisted until the 2 first stages, where he is only left one problem which is about Julia meaning that he never betrayed Julia yet. Obrien agrees with Winston and so move Winston in the final stage where is numbered as a 101 (room) there rats comes to him and bites his ears and eats the blood of Winston which is making even harder for winston to resist. in a less than few minutes, he yells to do it to Julia not to me. this becomes as a big event for him and Obrien since now everything is set up for both of them. Winston becomes free after Obrien's physical torture and for Winston it proved that he was a wrong guy. later on he meets Julia and finds that they are very different. Julia who used to be thin in waist and beatiful. she now seems as a little tired and gained a little weigh. she first say to Winston that she betrayed him and soon Winston also say the same words. likewise, both now doesn's have any sentiment left to be loved once again. the way that Obrien used his force to Winston changed a lot of things. Winston now is became able to listen to the government and not thinking of the future world. he is trying to understand without thinking deeply but living in a simple manner and discrete. lastly, the thing he says is i love Big Brother menaing the (govenrment's leader name)and also writes 2+2= 5. in the beginning of the book he said that 2+2= 4 and didn;t know why that was 5 he now got it... that he needs to listen to the government. if they say is 5 then is a 5

q. 5 1984

the mood is very authentic meaning that does not change though winston meets Julia who is sort of a bitch since she had many relationships with other inner members. this makes Winston happy becasue he does not like something pure and innocent. it dures only for a while. what makes winston the most hard is the way that he lives and what he needs to do. the way that the government is changing everything is hard to accept it. such as... if the government finds out that someone is too smart then they kill him in a silence and people have no rights to say somehting of it the next day though is strange to not see that person. if they also changes the words in a simple way, people needs to agree with it and don't argue if not, they wouldn't be able to live the next day. everything is under the commands of the government (totaliterialism) which is brainwashing everyone. They want to rule people in a absolute way where people have no ideas, enlightened, influence of other countries, love, friendship, anything! as a result the mood keeps going the same way it was since the first chapter. Oh! last thing that i need to include is also the "2Hate Minute" this is what everyone needs to participate to do the exercises which is served to strengthen the power of Totaliterialism.

1984 Q4

the climax of the 1984, is the moment when he says "do it to Julia not me" , 2+2 = 5 and lastly in the end of the novel when he says " i love Big Brother" this is the climzx because he was the one who really wanted to change for the future. first of all he says to do it julia. Julia is the love of Winston but he betrays her becasue of the physical torture. he just couldn't persist anymore. so he says it to jULIA. 2+2= 5 this explains that now Winston is with Big Brother. he who thought 2+2 =4 . he now can telll that equals to 5 becasue if B. B says it is then for him is also 5. lastly, he says that he love Big Brother which doesn't even exist. here the symbol of Big Brother is very important because it represents the god alike symbol. which helps people to get focus. and believe. if it they did not created such thing, then what people would probably attempt to do? i am sure they would try to escape from that have a demo.

this story was absolutely focusing me in it and the details were like vivid. you could really imagine the pictures inside your mind. this is just a perfect book that i've ever read yet. i think the author is a genius to write such thing. it impressed me because i felt the clmax was just opposite than what i expected. the physical tortures affects the mind to be changed completely

1984 Q3

Winston is one of the guy who is not satisfied of the rule so tries to get in step but he falls in the attempt that Obrien has made. he gets in the prison (the ministry of love) and discovers out that there are no windows adn very dark. there he get to learn how they are forceful and moves his mind by physical tortures made by Obrien who attempted to get Winston. when Obrien was young he commited the same mistake as Winston did. so he tries to help Winston in a harmful way. this whole events explains about the scareness of the totaliterialism. likewise, it shouldn't show up again but destroyed.

#2 1984

2. Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?

yeah it does have a similar situation like in North Korea which where socialism is rather than being a republic country, there what happens is if the presidents say, then everyone needs to follow. the citizens are not allowed to have personal property. everyone is pretty much well limited than the ones who are living in a republic country. not only this, there people are not allowed to leave their country such as escaping if they do so and they are catched then they are condemned to death which is unfair. However all this happens to control people in a strict way to maintain their rule "socialism" likewise 1984 is pretty much similar but more stricter way becaseu they 're watched every 1 second in their home with the telescreen. in this book, the technology is highly deveoped while in North Korea, the armies, bomb, and military materials are highly developed rather than providing food to the people. however there is no choice for people to choose since everyone is the ruled in same way. according to the book the solution was that the main character lastly followed the rule that his ocuntry had though he has been working very hard,...being agaisnt the government. this explains that he was controlled individually with the violence. ultimately, he chose to betrey his love, his decision, his promise, becasue of unaffordable events that has occured to his life.

1984 #1

1. What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2009?

the theme of the book named as 1984 is about the totaliterialism. totaliterialism is ruling people in a absolute way. everythings are depended on the goverment. people are having no choices of not accepting or not. in each home, there is a telescreen which keeps watching at the people. they observe what the people are doing. this explains that the technology is highly developed while the environemnt is not so developed. this is important to us since it makes us to learn and understand easily with totaliterialism. and also 1984 is the best book which describes the happening of that era. knowing the details of the totaliterialism can be a good way to approach to the past. also we could learn that now day's life is much more simple and comfotable than the past where all the people were not allowed to drink the real coffee, bread, blar razors, chocolates and everything else. since those products were not accepted. this book is really well described i guess.
