It is very well written, and the concepts are well explained, but the end is disappointing. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263669028 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263670539 Winston Smith, the protagonist of the book, is a single male adult living in the country of Oceania. He wishes to break away from the totalitarian government that rules Oceania, and joins a group of rebels in order to do so. He is rebellious, inquisitive, and perceptive. He is very daring, and he takes risks for his own happiness, despite the fact that he could easily be caught. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263670539 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263671695 Julia is Winston's partner in crime. Julia is as rebellious as Winston, but she really cares about living a happy life full of love, and not as much about taking down Big Brother. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263671695 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263672551 O'Brien is a liar, but it's okay because it's his job. We think of him as Winston's ally, but he ends up being a spy to catch rebels. He is mysterious, but overall a friendly guy. He simply thinks what he is doing is right. He is very smart, and is able to play tricks on Winston in order for him to believe that he is a friend. He is very good at torture and manipulation.]]> 2018-05-25 15:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263672551 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263673378 1984 is a book written by George Orwell as a warning against the rise of totalitarianism/ communism. Orwell lived in a time where there was a very big fear over the rise of corrupt governments. The book is set in the country of Oceania, who is run by The Party. Oceania is able to change facts, history, and anybody's life. The main character, Winston Smith, realizes this isn't acceptable, and begins to rebel against the country, which can potentially end in his death. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263673378 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674004 In the book, the party is constantly rewriting the past to accommodate for changes. They have a habit of vaporizing people or removing and evidence that can prove that the person ever existed. That seems to be what is happening in this article. North Korea also shares other themes like manipulation and surveillance with 1984. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674004 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674053 This is a place that Winston heard about in a dream and he keeps referencing it through the book, we finally find out that that place is the ministry of Love. I think this picture shows the idea perfectly because it shows the darkness and dreadfulness of the light. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674053 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674114 The past is very important in the book, the party keeps changing and rewriting the past as they wish and Winston is trying his best to remember the past and he wishes life could go back to the way it was.
People get in trouble because he remembers 'false' things from the past.
Th image depict erasing the past which is exactly what the party does in 1984. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674114 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674132 Manipulation is a big part of 1984, the party is constantly brainwashing society into believing whatever it is that they want them to believe. They use practices like double think and torture to do this. They even go as far as changing history. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674132 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674868 1984 is a sort of warning it tells us to be aware of the inevitable future there is so much to learn from it. First of all since it is a cautionary tale we need to make sure that our future doesn't turn out like the one in the book, full of miseru and represiion. 
We also learn from different characters the way we should act.  Winston's flaw was how quickly he trusted people and how easily he was willing to take risks.
From Julia we learn that we need to be aware of the consequences of our actions and not just believe in the future. 
Orwell wrote this book thinking that this is what the world would turn into, at the time it was written, people believed that WWIII was coming soon.]]> 2018-05-25 15:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263674868 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263675690 I really enjoyed the whole story and the message that it puts out. I liked that it was realistic and that it was not written to please anyone but instead to actually spark a change. 
The story developed really nicely and was really well thought out, attention to detail was phenomenal . The ideas Orwell put out really fascinated me and made me think.]]> 2018-05-25 15:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263675690 addavis2002 https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263675696 I just think the book was a little too descriptive and lengthy , that is something some people enjoy but i thought that it was superfluous and it bored me]]> 2018-05-25 15:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/addavis2002/ivph0717tjku/wish/263675696
