soo.. i have this essay question for a final tomorrow and i really really really need help on it. so if anyone could give me input on the matter that would be GREAT. so here's the question:

1984 is the story of a totalitarian state which holds power by smashing every humanist value. The Party had declared war on the human mind and its tools: memory and language. In an essay explain how the party achieves this "war" by using concrete examples from the novel.

again, any help would be AWESOME! thank you.

the junior celibacy league Julia belonged to
community events
the telescreen itself - an endless source of lies/propaganda
