What if we're a speck of dust that's on a flower like in Horton Hears a Who?

So do we exist?!!!

Is ignorance a bliss in 1984?

# data[].attributes.body
Our government is brainwashing us, so what if Aliens only abduct crazy people so nobody would believe them. What if the crazy people are right about everything?

Do you think that in other countries' textbooks the US has a negative connotation?

What if North Korea is a utopia and our government is lying to us? :<

# data[].attributes.body
Are the people more scared of the Party or is the Party more scared of the people?

# data[].attributes.body
How does the party relate to Hitler or Stalin ?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that our government currently changes the history books? What if Washington never existed? What if we cheated our way out of WW2? What if we're not the nation we actually are?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that youth leagues (junior spies) were established when Winston was a child (was he participating in them)? If not, how would it have changed Winston if it had?

# data[].attributes.body
Are everyone's actions controlled by the Party, even the act of rebellion?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think the government completely controlled people's memory, just how they controlled historical records and changed them to their convenience?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Winston could of successfully started a movement if he was not caught by the party?

# data[].attributes.body
If you were a child in 1984, would you rat out your parents?

# data[].attributes.body
Can the kids who have been brainwashed to tattle tell on their parents be changed?

# data[].attributes.body
What if everything we know isn't what really happened? Like how the Party changes things that happened to agree with what they are saying.

# data[].attributes.body
Why was Winston so scared of rats?

# data[].attributes.body
Why does Winston start a diary if he knew that no matter what he did to hide it the Party would eventually find out about it?

# data[].attributes.body
What do the proles represent in our society?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that things we consider freedoms are actually things we have to do because when we think about it, if we choose not to do it, we end up facing some type of consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
i think if we were born in an earlier time, the surveillance would've not been as intimate. the class gap would have played a major part in the surveillance then, and especially now.

# data[].attributes.body
Were we born to die?

# data[].attributes.body
Are rules made to be broken? Just like promises are made to be broken?

# data[].attributes.body
Laws are there to protect us and we should obey them in order to be safe.

Is Julia a feminist? (in the way of being sexually liberated) Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
I think Big Brother is a figure to control people and for the Party to have power.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Guadalupe. Big Brother is just a figure to intimidate the citizens.

# data[].attributes.body
Big brother is just a figure created by the party to further brainwash society.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with genesis Julia was just there for the thrill of rebellion.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does the government try to stop people from having sexual relationships?

# data[].attributes.body
What was the best way Winston rebelled? What are some examples from today's society that are similar to Winston's rebellion?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like Julia was a product of her environment. Even though she does not like the party, she does not want to take any major actions.

# data[].attributes.body
julia was important to a degree. there was no productivity coming from her and she wasn't a real rebel.

# data[].attributes.body
Does language control what we can think about?

# data[].attributes.body
How was Julia able to live with herself, knowing that she had to use her body to get a "change" in the government?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Genesis. Julia did not had character development. The only rebellion Julia was doing was having affairs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Julia represents selfish, unaffected white women who do not care about the oppression of others unless in directly affects her or the people she cares.

# data[].attributes.body
Why were areas like Eastasia & Eurasia used? Why not other regions of the world?

# data[].attributes.body
How long do you think Winston was in the "miniluv"?

# data[].attributes.body
Does the concept of Newspeak actually work?

# data[].attributes.body
Can freedom sometimes be slavery?

# data[].attributes.body
If the United States is better than other countries than why do so many minority groups living here with no freedom? For example, immigrants,

# data[].attributes.body
can o'brien be compared to a steve bannon or mike pence?

# data[].attributes.body
How do Big Brother and Mr. Trump compare?

# data[].attributes.body
I think Winston knows the "how" because he sees the things happening and how they take place, but there is no explanation as to "why" they happen.

# data[].attributes.body
What is freedom? Does it have different meanings and values for different people?

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that we are as controlled as the people in 1984. We have the power to speak out against the government and be the leaders that we want to see.

# data[].attributes.body
"the head of the cia is a man's job." how are we supposed to advance? The Party allows for anyone to rise to the ranks, is this possible for us now (logistically)?

# data[].attributes.body
i just want to let y'all know that the cia is going to take me away for my conspiring.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you be able to live your daily life knowing that Mr. Trump would be listening and watching you?

# data[].attributes.body
Is the United States really a country of freedom?

# data[].attributes.body
Why is the Party so sure that the proles won't revolt?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mirka, people who choose not to say the pledge are not necessarily disrespecting because they can recognize that there have been people who fought for the country, but they do not want to show their patriotism by being forced to say the pledge.

# data[].attributes.body
If the story was continued, do you think there would have ever been an end to the Totalitarian government?

# data[].attributes.body
Are there any benefits to the government in 1984?

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think that sex was overly emphasized in the book?

# data[].attributes.body
Forced patriotism isn't patriotism because patriotism should be something that we want to do not something that is being forced upon someone.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book, what does Julia represent in our society today?

# data[].attributes.body
Patriotism isn't patriotism if it's forced.

# data[].attributes.body
In your opinion, did Winston have the qualities of a hero?

# data[].attributes.body
Forced patriotism is not true patriotism. People can be forced to act like they support their country but they can't be forced to truly think it.

# data[].attributes.body
Forced patriotism is not patriotism. One cannot support and be proud of their country if it is forced and against their will.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that the long introduction was necessary as it felt never ending. It really discouraged me from reading the rest of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
How much would it take for the government to take everything you are and what you stand for? What fear do you have that you think might break your identity. (Fear of height, Fear of the dark, Fear of water???)

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think that Winston was so drawn towards O'Brien even though the was a lot of danger involved in expressing rebellion.

# data[].attributes.body
Can you draw any comparisons between the government of 1984 and the government of the USA?

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the whole introduction in part one was necessary because I think it took away a part from the action and other events could have been explained.

# data[].attributes.body
what's the overall theme when reading 1984, and explaining your views towards it now

# data[].attributes.body
Is the story in any way a prediction? And, if so, has any of it been realized?

# data[].attributes.body
How did the character O'Brien alter the story, and what could he represent?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that some of the situations from the book have happened in real life? (i.e. the government watching their citizens)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that some of the background was necessary, but not all of it, like the chocolate thing. I also agree with Mirka that I thought the chocolate would lead to something, but it didn't it was just added to part one.

The first part was very hard for me to read but overall it was a good book.

# data[].attributes.body
what other things could be improved in the writing?

# data[].attributes.body
The first part of the book was boring, but as I started reading the second part, it caught my attention and it became more interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think Winston always knows the "how" but never the "why"?

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the book was really good. I just don't like how it took so long for it to get interesting for me. If I didn't have to read the book for school I probably would have stopped in the middle of part one.

What's the difference between the two minute hate and the time we take to say the pledge of allegiance in the morning?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Guadalupe, the first part was boring and was making me fall asleep, but when I got to the second part, the action that took place made it more interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Guadalupe the first part was boring, but the second part got interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Guadalupe that the book started of sort of boring and slow, there was nothing happening. I also agree with Jessica that I didn't  want to read it during the bus because I it would make me wan to sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mirka, I need larger prints for books to keep me focused.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this book is the best book i have read in a long time. I was able to read it and understand it very well. It was very interesting!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Guadalupe. The book was slow at the beginning, but it got more intriguing by the second part.

# data[].attributes.body
Was Part 1/ the informational introduction of 1984 necessary to make the story interesting to the reader?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Guadalupe when she said that the book started off slow and boring. I fell asleep three time while reading it

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that the book was very well written and had great detail. I agree it was slow and boring at first.

# data[].attributes.body
I was never hooked to the idea of the book. It was well-written but I'm not a big fan of dystopian novels.  I also need larger prints so it can keep my attention for longer than 10 minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that a large font would've helped me. I thought this book was moved so slowly.
