He is around 40-years-old and is a little to unique for his own good. In the beginning of the story, Winston refuses to accept Big Brother and rebels against the government. He falls in love and tries to start a revolt against the government, but is ultimately tortured until he is under complete control of the government.

Julia: Also known as "The dark-haired girl," Julia is an intelligent and rebellious member of The Party. She embraces her sexuality and falls in love with Winston. With Winston, she tries to start a revolution, but her fate is just the same as his: she is tortured until she is no longer individualistic.

Very few members of The Party are able to recall more than a few years prior to present-day and the idea of individualism was forbidden. Big Brother watched and listened to everyone--no one was never alone. Protagonist Winston Smith is not like the others. He does not blindly accept the ways of The Party, but he is aware of the consequences of looking even slightly objective. Throughout the story, Winston battles new found emotions and the urge to rebel, all while blending in to his dystopian society.]]> 2018-05-02 17:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/257364402 moralesmia031 https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/257369036 In the novel, members of The Party are always being watched. Whether it is through cameras, or the eyes of other members of the society, it is unlikely that you are not being monitored.]]> 2018-05-02 17:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/257369036 moralesmia031 https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/257371896 Two of the main characters in the novel caused the downfall of Winston and Julia due to their betrayal. O'Brien and Charrington seemed to be trustworthy, leading Winston and Julia to believe them to be against The Party. In the end, however, O'Brien and Charrington expose themselves as Thought Police and turn Winston and Julia in.]]> 2018-05-02 17:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/257371896 moralesmia031 https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/257378102 Uighur in China are constantly being monitored, just as Winston and his peers were constantly under surveillance.]]> 2018-05-02 17:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/257378102 moralesmia031 https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258116083 This novel addresses many of things that the world is facing through a variety of societies, and I think this causes the reader to think about what is truly going on in their daily lives. I find Orwell to be brutally honest and he does not try to sugar coat any of the issues he mentions, which I find to be respectable.

The book did take awhile to get interesting, which I was not a fan of, but once it got started I really enjoyed it.]]> 2018-05-04 17:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258116083 moralesmia031 https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258123048 This novel teaches that the government has more power than we might think. Winston shows that sometime being an individual is worth fighting for, through him we see an extreme case of the powers we could be going against. Orwell shows the reader what could happen if a society gives up too much power and he encourages us to fight for our human rights.]]> 2018-05-04 18:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258123048 moralesmia031 https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258131935 Both of the main characters in novel are individuals. This idea is important because this is how Orwell conveys his message. ]]> 2018-05-04 18:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258131935 moralesmia031 https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258135538 This story is has Dystopian society, just like 1984. In Matched, the government controls the lives of the citizen by monitoring how they act in order to sort them into certain groups. Although Matched is not to the same extent of 1984, both stories feature an over powering government and unique, individual protagonists.]]> 2018-05-04 18:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/moralesmia031/nnky4redhaek/wish/258135538
