“In general you could not assume that you were much safer in the country than in London. There were no telescreens, of course, but there was always the danger of concealed microphones by which your voice might be picked up and recognized; besides, it was not easy to make a journey by yourself without attracting attention.”

The Veil:

There is no limit to telescreens and that the Party has also placed hidden hidden microphones throughout London. The Party decided to place these microphones in order spy and monitor the interactions, actions, and words of their constituents.

Type of Satire(Tone): Untrustworthy

The tone for this passage is untrustworthy and precaution. Untrustworthy is a tone because the Party wants to know if they are being lied too, if their constitutions are betraying the Party. Not only their constituents, but the people as well. Precaution because if the Party notices any signs of betrayal, they will plan ahead to stop and destroy those who betray them.

Tools of Satire: Paradox

Paradox is used when “your voice might be picked up and recognized” stating that the Party is using actions to contradict their feeling of be betrayed and trying to find traitors amongst them by secretly investigating throughout the city.

The Target:

The Party has no trust in their constituents because of the feeling and fear of being betrayed or insulted so they rather tack action in their own hands. Even if it means certain penalties, extreme punishments, and death all due to them having all control over everything and anything on order for them to have their way.

“It was something in your face. I thought I’d take a chance. I’m good at spotting people who don’t belong. As soon as I saw you I knew you were against them.”

The Veil:

Julia believes that she is adept and proficient at identifying rebels. She feels this way due to the fact she remains loyal to the Party and will never betray them.

Type of Satire(Tone): Powerful

The tone for this passage is powerful. Powerful due to the fact of Julia stating that she believes that she is one of the best people to identify the enemy or betrayers. Julia believes that she is the only individual that capable to do this task.

Tools of Satire: Exaggeration

I chose exaggeration because Julia is only stating what she believes in. She is only stating that she is the best, but not mentioning others or anyone else. This allows me to state that Julia is only making statements in he point of view and not having any other opinion or reasons.

The Target:

If Julia continues to believe and think the way she does now, her life may be in danger. The Party will disapprove this because due to them having all control and power, they may start to consider certain actions towards Julia such as a punishment.

"And even now, though his intellect told him that the message probably meant death -- still, that was not what he believed, and the unreasonable hope persisted, and his heart banged, and it was with difficulty that he kept his voice from trembling as he murmured his figures into the speakwrite. He rolled up the completed bundle of work and slid it into the pneumatic tube. Eight minutes had gone by. He re-adjusted his spectacles on his nose, sighed, and drew the next batch of work towards him, with the scrap of paper on top of it. He flattened it out. On it was written, in a large unformed handwriting:                             I love you."

Remember, each quote must address:

The Veil
The veil of this passage is when Julia sneaked a note into Winston's hand, and he is contemplating what it had and what it means and what would happen if someone found out about this encounter. He is struggling to do his work and is worried, then he opens the paper carefully to find out that it says ' I love you'.

Type of Satire (TONE)
The passage is juvenalian in nature, the tones in the passage are unassuming in regards to his life, it is as if he does not care if he lives or dies. yet he is also uneasy while trying to do his work, he is scared and trembling.

Tools of Satire: Juxtaposition

In the beginning of the quote Winston says that this note probably means death, but he does not care and he opens that paper that says ' I love you', Live means death. it is also Juxtaposition because in the first sentence of the passage he says that his brain told him this means death but his heart did not believe that. He is scared of what is in the note but he is not scared of death.

The Target
Here Orwell seems to critiquing the amnner in which one expresses their feelings for each other, with all the technology around that there is no reason to talk to someone face to face, that eliminating social interactions is dangerous and costly on society.

"In the dream he had remembered his last glimpse of his mother, and within a few moments of waking the cluster of small events surrounding it had all come back. It was a memory that he must have deliberately pushed out of his consciousness over many years. He was not certain of the date, but he could not have been less than ten years old, possibly twelve, when it had happened. His father had disappeared some time earlier, how much earlier he could not remember. He remembered better the rackety, uneasy circumstances of the time: the periodical panics about air-raids and the sheltering in Tube stations, the piles of rubble everywhere, the unintelligible proclamations posted at street corners, the gangs of youths in shirts all the same colour, the enormous queues outside the bakeries, the intermittent machine-gun fire in the distance -- above all, the fact that there was never enough to eat.

Remember, each quote must address:

The Veil
The veil here Winston once again is having a dream about his mother that he might have had something to do with her death, although probably indirectly. He also started to recall memories of hiding in shelter during an air raid. A well as his father disappearing when he was maybe twelve years old.

Type of Satire (TONE)
Juvenalian. The tones of this passage are negative, obviously he is talking first about his parents whom he's lost some time ago, and then he also talks about war, and how that was for him. The passage is also informative about the reality of life for civilians during a war in the new age of airplanes and bombs that can level an entire block.

Tools of Satire: Connotation
The passage has negative connotation because it is about Winston's father disappearing and how that changed his mother. He also remembered stuff from his childhood about raids and hiding in shelters and that they didn't have enough food to eat.

The Target
The thing that Orwell is critiquing here is the kind of scary world that children are growing up in, where they have to learn about air raids and shelters, about death. He is also critiquing the disturbing reality that war has on civilians and cities and how cities have turned into battle fields where no one is safe.

Privacy, as he said, was a very valuable thing. Everyone wanted a place where they could be alone occasionally. And when they had such a place, it was only common courtesy in anyone else who knew of it to keep his knowledge to himself.

VEIL; In the book, it’s very apparent within the first few paragraphs and even sentences that the society they live in doesn’t allow much privacy if any at all. The subject of this passage is to really call attention to that, saying how when they are given opportunities to have their own privacy and alone time, it’s as if it’s an already known rule for them to keep it to themselves.

TONE; This particular passage definitely conveys tones of secrecy and vulnerability. ‘Everyone wanted a place where they could be alone occasionally. And when they had such a place, it was only common courtesy in anyone else who knew of it to keep his knowledge to himself’. This shows the tones of secrecy due to how it’s meant to be kept private when someone has these wants and desires of wanting to be hidden from everything; hidden from being watched all the time and hidden from Big Brother. The passage also shows tones of vulnerability when it says ‘..where they could be alone occasionally.’ Within this, the fact that people want to be alone signifies a need and want to somehow express their own originated feelings, while also putting them in such a position when they’re willing to tell another person about their own opinions and desires.

TOOLS OF SATIRE; Allusion. The passage talks and implies of the fact of in which someone is to have a place of privacy, it’s ‘only common courtesy’ for them to keep that to themselves, which is able to show allusion when it’s being implied and assumed that people are to keep shut about the knowledge of such things.

TARGET; The target here is the underlying fact of them having to be so secretive and cautious of what they’re thinking and choosing to do when they get opportunities where Big Brother isn’t watching.

Syme had vanished. A morning came, and he was missing from work; a few thoughtless people commented on his absence. On the next day, nobody mentioned him. On the third day, Winston went into the vestibule of the Records Department to look at the notice board. One of the notices carried a printed list of the members of the Chess Committee, of whom Syme had been one. It looked almost exactly as it had looked before--nothing had been crossed out--but it was one name shorter. It was enough. Syme had ceased to exist; he had never existed.

VEIL; The veil here is the fact that Syme has just been taken away by the thoughtpolice and has been erased from existence within their society and world.

TONE; The tone here conveys feelings of distress and defeat. ‘Syme had ceased to exist; he had never existed’ shows tones of distress by having to come to the realization of someone who you had considered a friend has now been completely erased. There’s no longer any proof of his existence and Winston is now left to process and live with that. ‘It was enough’ shows underlying tones of defeat by how it’s starting to sink in that Syme had really been taken away and erased...

TOOLS OF SATIRE; Connotation. The repettition of the fact that Syme has disappeared has strucken Winston. The repitition allows emphasis on the matter and how what’s being said should be taken seriously within their society.

TARGET; The target here is how strong both the thoughtpolice and big brother are. No matter what, they’re always listening and watching so what you say needs to be taken with tremendous care.

Passage:
One did not know what happened inside the Ministry of Love but it was possible to guess: torture, drugs, delicate instruments that registered your nervous reaction, gradual wearing down by sleeplessness and solitude and persistent questioning. Facts, at any rate, could not be kept hidden. They could be tracked down by inquiry, they could be squeezed out of you by torture. But if the object was not to stay alive but to stay human, what was the difference did it ultimately make?

The Veil
The Ministry of Love

Type of Satire (TONE)
Juvenalian. The listing of harmful tactics to get one to confess gives off a sense of extreme cruelty. Concerned yet unhealthily familiar feelings set in due to the measures the authority will likely take to get one to stay true such as "torture, drugs,...gradual wearing down by sleeplessness," however when it is stated,  "One did not know...but it was possible to guess," it can be assumed the people of Oceania are accustomed to situations like these, especially if one can "guess" and especially due to the casualty in which that was said.

Tools of Satire:

Verbal irony, reversal, and incongruity. These tools all stem from the fact that the name Ministry of Love does not match up with the actions that take place there. Verbal irony strikes when they use the word "Love," relating to affection,

to describe processes such as "torture" which is the pure opposite. Reversal is shown similarly because using torture and drugs in a supposed ministry of love is not very usual. Incongruity is used because you would not expect harmful situations to unfold in a "Ministry of Love" therefore it is seen as absurd.

The Target
The target is the cruelty used in forcing individuals to stay honest. While it is clear The Party heavily enforces obedience, it is too large and harmful an extent to take such enforcement to places where love is what is expected and supposed to be enforced.

Passage:
Tonight was one of his nights at the Community Center. He wolfed another tasteless meal in the canteen, hurried off to the Center, took part in the solemn foolery of a "discussion group," played two games of table tennis, swallowed several glasses of gin, and sat for half an hour through a lecture entitled "Ingsoc in relation to chess." His soul writhed with boredom, but for once he had no impulse to shirk his evening at the Center. At the sight of the words I love you the desire to stay alive had welled up in him, and the taking of minor risks suddenly seemed stupid.

The Veil
Oceania's strict relationship related laws

Type of Satire (TONE)
Juvenalian. Winston comes across a letter expressing romantic feelings from one individual to another. He has never experienced love so sincere as his soul had always "writhed with boredom" but when he reads the words "I love you," "the desire to stay alive welled up in him." Feelings of longing and desire set in as his perspective changes having witnessed something so full of passion and sincerity. Of course he can never achieve such romance while also following Oceanic laws so a sense of desperation is heavily applied, emphasized because Winston feels something so deep as wanting to be alive when he isn't even the one receiving or contributing love.

Tools of Satire:

Incongruity and exaggeration. Incongruity come from how Winston feels such a positive change in perspective, when normally one wouldn't have as big a reaction to a love letter not to or from him but he does because he has been stuck in a society where relationships are solely for reproduction and he hasn't experienced true love and passion. Exaggeration is used, not to exaggerate the description of what Winston is feeling, but to exaggerate what he himself is truly feeling in the novel due to the lack of that feeling prior to it.

The Target
The target is the idea of using relationships solely for physical reproduction of the human species. While human reproduction is important, human beings are specimens made to give and receive unconditional love to one another. Imposing such strict laws to stop this can only be so healthy for the mental state of those who want to pursue a relationship that one begins to become desperate for any sign of affection they can find.

The Veil
The passage follows the "I love you." that Winston sees on a piece of paper given to him by Julia. He is tempted to act upon the message, however, is hesitant in doing so. Despite knowing the dangers of reciprocating Julia's love for him, he wants to believe the note to be true and rereads it before destroying it.

Type of Satire (TONE)
The passage has a tone of caution and disbelief. Disbelief in that she actually addressed that to him, and caution in that that he could be killed if this was some sort of trick into getting him arrested.

Tools of Satire: Situational Irony
Situational irony was used as it says in the passage that Winston wanted "to throw the incriminating thing into the memory hole." It's a very optimistic and pure saying, "I love you", and yet it brings him such discomfort and wants to get rid of it. And yet, even when he wants to get rid of it, he can't help but reread it still, as if he doesn't actually want to get rid of it, especially when he does like Julia back.

The Target
In this totalitarian world, good things like notes of love confessions are corrupted in their impact as they instill fear into a person in 1984 rather than a flutter of hope.

The Veil
O'Brien kindly offers Winston and Julia a cigarette in which Winston is unfamiliar and amazed with their quality.

Type of Satire (TONE)
A tone of wonder is conveyed in the passage with the usage of "very good" paired with "unfamiliar" when talking about the quality of the cigarettes.

Tools of Satire: Imagery
Orwell emphasizes the good quality of the cigarettes by saying they are "very thick and well-packed" and that the paper had a silkiness to it.

The Target
In this world, where the people in higher positions are able to possess items of high quality (as if to match with their status), the lower are given little items which are of poor quality. They hold amazement and gratefulness at the high quality items as those who own said things merely take it for granted.
