He is the main character, and leads us on his journey of the Big Brother.
Julia:Julia is very important in this story, because she causes Winston to make some key choices/decisions throughout the story. People believe she is quite dedicated to the Party, but actually breaks rules behind the screens
O'Brien: O'Brien is part of the reason Winston is so dedicated to being introduced to the Brotherhood. O'Brien himself is part of this organization, and persuades Winston to join.]]> 2018-05-03 18:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/257787117 Oceania: This is a country that is completely controlled by the Party, and followed by the Big Brother.

Let me tell you. They managed to make me interested in a book I was forced to read against my will, and that takes skill. The enticing setting and characters of this book, along with the suspense of Winston defying the Party really makes your heart beat abnormally fast. I have never suggested a book so much in my life.]]> 2018-05-03 18:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/257799397 Mein Kampf roeluk000 https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/257802850 Mein Kampf is a perfect non-fiction example of an article with similar themes to 1984. It is all about the struggle about somebody who wants to rule with full power. Tell me it's not perfect]]> 2018-05-03 18:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/257802850 Why Read? roeluk000 https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/257803807 Other people should read this book because not only does it teach you about a utopia and what it takes to maintain it and show you the consequences of this type of communistic leadership, but it also takes you on the journey of our hero Winston, who tries to defy the Big Brother to join the Brotherhood ]]> 2018-05-03 18:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/257803807 Lesson of 1984 roeluk000 https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/258039327 The overall lesson of this book is to try and stay away from these totalitarian regimes/governments, and this book shows what the consequences of these governments are. It it telling us that the government will always have some power over us, but we can always do things to keep that power from being absolute]]> 2018-05-04 14:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/258039327 Likes/Dislikes roeluk000 https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/258040887 Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. I feel like it gives a very wary and understandable message, as almost a call for help to stay away from this type of government. Although, it keeps this hidden under the journey and fast-paced story of Winston, who is forced to live under this Big Brother. That being said, I have no true dislikes of this story, and I love the suspense and tempo of the story]]> 2018-05-04 14:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/258040887 Totalitarianism: Totalitarianism is a very big idea in 1984, and sets the tone of the story and the setting throughout the story. Without this idea, the Big Brother would not exist and there would be no reason for the book. roeluk000 https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/258042776 2018-05-04 14:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/258042776 Blue Overalls: This is an item Winston is sure to be wearing, and it sets the character and personality of Winston.

It is a powerful story about the loss of freedom and individuality, and takes place in a totalitarian England following a war that changed the face of the planet.]]> 2018-05-04 14:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/roeluk000/issapadlet/wish/258045931
