i don't agree with that symbolism. The glass paperweight, symbolizes Winston as the pink core, surrounded by his thin protective bubble. When he is caught it shatters as Winston is no longer...

It is a very simple answer. Diary=thoughtcrime. Recording your days events and thoughts is well known to be illegal. The fact that you have an opinion and can record it gets the Party riled. The...

Agree with the Atheist, still seems a little out of order. Try to chronologically order in comparison to the book. It is a very good summary touching on each main point briefly and precisely. Send...

Winstons ususal word perhaps, i do see your confusion, Winston mentions that vaporized was the usual word used after someone no longer existed, but no one speaks of the subject publically or in...

I forgot about the photo, i don't think Winston alone is the biggest threat to the Party, he really isn't a threat. Why did the Party put off erasing his memory and forcing him to accept the Parties...

It's hoping for the best that people have at least heard of it, not everyone has for sure, just hoping people are educated and have had the ability to read great literature such as this.

Everywhere, its been evaluated time and time again by people all over the world.:D

Only if Big Brother wills it. ;)

Mass education!! The goal of society for such a long time!! If only we could bring that standard to every single person society would be much more civilized.







Great works never die I...

It's a great piece of literature. One to be discussed for generations to come (as we are doing now :D) Reread it if you can. It doesn't get old. :)

ughh, Disney ruins everything. The Brothers Grimm tales were defiled, great literature in shambles. :bawling:

No, it is driven by the want, and psychological need for power.



It's fault is it's own. They want power and land and so on and they got it.



I'd have to go with you on...

Agreed, the bombings, executions, and the movies are the violent things. And these are seen by W on rare occasion. On those occasions he still doesn't feel anything and the Party made sure of that.

Nah, the government would have no use for them. It would be strongly objected. Never will happen. The people aren't that dumb to allow that.

For W. to overcome BB?

Good comparison. And you got the main point right on. He warned us in this book, got his point across.

He isn't predicting anything!!! He is warning us against the dangers of totalitarianism. If you thing he was exaggerating you have seen Orwell's main point incorrectly. He wanted it to be like...

Just as long as laws are still upheld and crime is kept down.:thumbs_up



So many different perspectives! We have to tear each part of this book apart, so we can fully understand Orwell's...

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: They strike again!!!

Keep on reading!

Read more Orwell! I started Coming Up For Air, and it is an excellent book. From what Orwell I have read they all reflect the same style of writing in a "real" sense.[/QUOTE]



Thanks. :D

:lol: How many times shall we fix this? Orwell=Warning us against a government called... (drum roll) totalitarianism!

That was the only way for it to stop. He had to know he loved Big Brother. (and all its teachings, et al.)

It was nothing against you bazarov, your opinion is viewed highly on here. No need to apologize. :D

The statistics were most likely fabricated, agreed.



Yep, the government made them think it was a great society.



The Party thought of him as insane and needing of treatment because he...
