He is a completely ordinary man who works for the Party. Winston suffers with wanting to know the truth, event hough he knows it can get him killed. One of the major rules that he broke is that he fell in love with Julia. He also lies and sneaks around, plotting against the Party.

Julia- Julia is the girl Winston fell in love. She is extremely rebellious, but in the most secretive way. She hides her true self behind community work, her job and volunteering. Julia is very smart and more intuitive than Winston.

Defying the ban on individuality, Winston expresses his thoughts in a diary and falls in love with Julia. These criminal actions have major consequences, which would most likely get him killed.]]> 2018-05-03 18:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257802131 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257806078 Big Brother- All throughout Oceania, Winston sees a poster with a man on it that says "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU". Big Brother is the face of the Party. Big Brother symbolizes comfort, but also an open threat. He is makes the citizens calm and collected, especially when something bad is happening. he is the person they want to see, except for Winston. He's a threat because you never know what is watching you. ]]> 2018-05-03 18:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257806078 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257881827 Glass Paperweight- The paperweight symbolizes Winston's eagerness to reconnect with the past. Also, it symbolically shatters when the Thought Police come to arrest him. ]]> 2018-05-04 01:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257881827 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257883379 Telescreens- The telescreens symbolize how many governments abuse the power of technology, only for they own good. It also represents control and constant surveillance. ]]> 2018-05-04 01:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257883379 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257884830 https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/in-china-state-control-of-the-media-moves-toward-thought-control-05032018163122.html


This article is about how China is getting stricter on social media. The government has now gained almost total control on what the citizens see in the media. Because of this, people fear that the government will try and reach into peoples' private thoughts and actions, through brain washing. ]]> 2018-05-04 01:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257884830 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257885590 Anthem- The book 1984 remind me of the novel we read last year for school, which is Anthem by Ayn Rand. In both of the books, the government has total control and had brainwashed that community. They also both have strict laws on relationships and are always being monitored. In both of them, there is a love interest where they rebel against the government together. ]]> 2018-05-04 01:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257885590 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257886603 I liked that the novel was about a totalitarian government because it is entertaining to see what someone else think the future will be like and how the government will continue to control our lives. The strange morals are interesting and can really surprise you. 

I didn't really like how the book didn't have much of a story line. It seemed to be a lot of background and description, rather than current events that were happening in the book. I also did not like the ending because it was so unsatisfying. ]]> 2018-05-04 01:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257886603 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257888690 I defiantly recommend reading 1984, because it is entertaining, different and makes you think. I think it's a god read because it shows something that is so unlike our world right now. It is also refreshing to get a love story that isn't cheesy or something that you'd see in a chick flick. ]]> 2018-05-04 01:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257888690 leynak https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257894246 I think George Orwell is trying to send us the message that you never know when you're being watched and that the government is always able to control you in some way. ]]> 2018-05-04 02:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/leynak/3zsqq3lniy68/wish/257894246
