Essay questions

I've got to do an essay of 250 words for each of these questions.

1. Discuss the ideas of doublethink. How important is doublethink to the Party's control of Oceania? How important is it to Winston's brainwashing.

2. What role does Big Brother play within the novel and what effect does it have on Winston?

3. In 1984 G.Orwell presents a depressing view of how the state could come to dominate the lives of individuals through cultural conditioning. Discuss this statement with reference to the text.

I have some ideas for each of these questions but what I'm really looking for are some extra opinions and ideas and quotes especially. Thanks a lot :)
