Though this city is increasingly becoming worse, losing ones self in the midst of it all, the ideal that it is actually an improvement is instilled in all. According to records, life before the Revolution was way worse than life now, because there is nothing to confirm it with, people live in agreement. Big Brother is erasing history, many leaders fell, executed and fled.]]> 2019-05-02 20:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356399201 1539102 https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356400847 It reveals that the party wants to remove all pleasure and emotion attached to sex by banning it. As a result, procreating is done by artificial insemination, and they maintain a very strict control over the population. Banning sex prevents party members from potentially focusing on anything aside from patriotism and the party.]]> 2019-05-02 20:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356400847 1539075 https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356401166 This passage mainly speaks about Newspeak and how it is going to takeover the future, they state that in the future nobody will understand normal conversations anymore. Old speak will disappear. Everybody's thought will be different and slogans will change. It also says that famous literature such as Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton and Byron will be destroyed, they will only exist in Newspeak. The problem with Winston is he cannot get used to New speak, he is too used to writing in Old speak.

They make up 85% of the population and can easily overpower the police. They would just need to organize around a central cause.Because The Party considers the poles as worthless as humans, it does not believe they are capable of thought crime.

According to Syme, Winston does not grasp the beauty of the destruction of words. Winston does not trust himself to speak because he does not want to commit a thought crime Winston also feels that Syme is eventually going to be vaporized because of his intelligence and the party does not like people who have a lot of knowledge. ]]> 2019-05-03 20:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356757482 1539102 https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356758307 2019-05-03 20:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356758307 1539075 https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/356760473 The Party wants people to get used to speaking this new language New speak.

The relevance is not apparent to Winston, but Orwell uses the third-person point of view to alert the reader that there is in fact a connection: unlike the proles, Winston has lost much of his humanity. Orwell gives the reader a sense of understanding Winston’s psychology better than he himself does. While Winston questions his memories and motivations, the reader clearly sees that his gradual dehumanization is the result of an ongoing, systemized program to rob citizens of their individuality and free will.]]> 2019-05-06 18:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/357345336 1538918 https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/357348392 2019-05-06 18:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1538918/rzwzb8kfy9e2/wish/357348392
