This sounds suspiciously like somebody looking for essay help... One could try looking on SparkNotes.

1984 is a satire and the perversity of the slogans is part of the (very) dark humour. Orwell had seen language used and abused by totalitarian regimes, and this is part of the joke, as well as the warning.
