Pg:130
The Veil:
The subject of the passage is Julia and the scene takes place right after Julia removes Winston from typical society and into a more hidden location where there is "No microphones."
Types of Satire:
The tone that was present was relieved. Right before this passage on page 130, where Julia talks about the security and big brother, Winston and Julia are running from society and there is this sense of the two being on edge. When Julia finally talks after this long run away from society, she confirms the safety that her and Winston are now in! She hadn't spoke until this point, and when she talks for the first time, it has power in the fact that it means there is safety!

Tools of Satire:
The one tool that I see in this passage is juxtaposition. The idea of juxtaposition is putting two things next to each other that are opposing. Reason I see this in this scene is because they are in this safe spot, but this safe spot in the grass is located right next to normal society with all the "microphones" which is therefore classified as dangerous.

The Target:
The target of this passage is to introduce Julia that she is on edge, but this feeling makes here wise in what she does! She knows when to speak and when not to speak, and also this passage reveals exactly where Julia stands in the whole situation of her view points on the leaders of the society. This reveals that not just Winston is aware that they are always being watched and that is wrong!

Passage 2:
Page 132
The Veil: In this scenario, Julia and Winston are talking about Winston's first thoughts on Julia and Winston doesn't feel like there is any point in lying and therefore tells her that he wanted to rape her and kill her. Even Though she laughed afterwards, she was offended because he thought she was a good party member. Then in the passage I am focusing on she responds in sarcasm.

Types of Satire: The tone being used is absurd because Julia thinks it is illogical of Winston to even think for a moment that she is a party member. She goes with his point and defines what it would mean if she was a good party member. She describes that would mean she is a "Pure in word and deed" kind of person, and states this in a way that makes Winston's thoughts completely ABSURD!

Tools of Satire: The tool of satire being used in this situation is sarcasm. In a moment where Winston points out he=is initial thoughts of Julia, she mocks his point with sarcasm. Her using sarcasm, is a way of communicating that she is so far from being what Winston said, that she is even willing to make fun of it. Sarcasm creates a light mood, but also reveals a sense of something is illogical.

The Target:  The main target of this whole passage is to show that Julia is NOT a good and pure part member. She uses sarcasm to support her point that she has nothing to do with being a good part member and therefore wants Winston to clearly understand that his initial assertion was wrong!

You wanted a good time; "they", meaning the Party, wanted you to stop having it; you broke the rules as best you could." (P. 109)
This passage addresses Julia's perspective on the current dystonia society Winston lives in. Even though the Party heavily restricts any form of sex, Julia lost her virginity at age 16 to a 60 year old man, clearly showing her rebellious attitude. This implies a rebellious tone in this passage taken from part two of the book. The main tool of satire used in this excerpt is irony. Julia, leader of the anti-sex league, lost her virginity at such a young age and went against what she currently promotes. This creates a more dramatic effect for the satire. The target here, however, is governments who enforce too much of people's personal lives. Despite their efforts, they will never be able to catch every one of our "wrongdoings" as they would call it (on a personal level).

Passage 2: "Sometimes, too, they talked of engaging in active rebellion against the Party, but with no notion of how to take the first step. Even if the fabulous Brotherhood was a reality, there still remained the difficulty of finding one's way into it." (P. 126)
The veil of this passage is the narrators description of the members of the brotherhood. The brotherhood, as of right now, is a small rebellious group that has yet to become completely organized. This particular passage contributes to the ongoing skeptical tone in the book. The tools of satire used here includes diction, as the author speaks as if he were having a conversation with the reader. Also, the connotations of "rebellion" and "difficulty" further the hints that this is a satire, as explained in the next sentence. The target of this satire is any group attempting to make change in the world. Orwell implies they are unorganized and not effective. Regardless of my position on the issue, I feel like the walkouts were not an effective way for such a group to bring change in our world. This is one of many examples I think Orwell was trying to "ridicule".

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" (Part 1, Chapter 1)
The Veil: These ideas are the three primary slogans of the Party. They are engraved in the Ministry of Truth constantly reminding the people of how they should think. These slogans focus on the ideas of conflict, freedom, and strength. They are the basis of the mindset that the party expects the people of Oceania to have.
Tone: These phrases create an omniscient and ominous tone. People are expected to blindly follow and abide to the parties ideology, which is based off of these slogans. Using the word "Is" in the slogans make it seem as though the party is factually correct in these statements. All of these slogans are a primary example of doublethink, where thoughts that contradict one another simultaneously exist in ones head. Doublethink is an ominous concept.
Tools of Satire: This is a good example of oxymoronic statements, statements that contradict one another. Each slogan is an oxymoron.
The Target: The target is the people of Oceania.

Passage 2: " His pen had slid voluptuously over the smooth paper, printing in large neat capitals—DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER over and over again, filling half a page." (Part 1, Chapter 1)
The Veil: The veil of this passage is the way in which the society operates. This passage shows Winston's frustration and how the society forces him to confuse himself.
Tone: Winston's anger and anxiety is clearly depicted through this passage. It shows us the inner conflict and stress going on in Winston's mind clearly. This passage clearly displays his frustration with the Party and how he truly feels about his life deep down. He hates the Party and the rules that they impose upon the people.
Tools of Satire: The repetition of the revolting words "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" is effective in expressing the level of Winston's stress.
The Target: The target is the Party.]]> 2018-11-09 18:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jdstpierre100/hk5o9pjci5ov/wish/302693994
