Main character of the story who heavily dislikes the party of Oceania and how the party forces citizens to live their lives. He tries his best to figure out how he can fix this corrupt system.
Julia-
Julia met Winston after Winston was very suspicious of her at first of being part of the thought police. She is also rebelling against the party, but she doesn't really have her sights set on the party exactly though she is just bored. She is very important to Winston and is a very important character.
O'Brien-
O'Brien is also a citizens which dislikes the ideals that the party stands for and he is also seen to be as very suspicious to Winston. Winston and Julia meet him and they begin talking about what they are able to do to rebel together. He gives Winston a Goldstein Manifesto which gives key information.
Big Brother-
Protagonist of the story who is seen as a god to the citizens of the party. This character represents the theme of the story which has to deal with surveillance and control.]]> 2019-05-10 02:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358728312 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358732784 This video camera is very important because it represents one of the main ideas that this story shows which is all about surveillance and privacy. All of the citizens of Oceania are being observed and they're all oblivious to it and have nothing to do about it.]]> 2019-05-10 02:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358732784 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358733377 This is a significant image because it represent what happened has happened to the world in the future. The US has merged with the UK and has created a region called Oceania which is where this story is based. All of the party citizens reside in Oceania and are at "war" with Eurasia and Eastasia.]]> 2019-05-10 02:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358733377 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358734358 These hearts are significant because they represent how Winston fell for Julia. They begin breaking more and more of the party's rules and are willing to risk it all with each other for the cause.]]> 2019-05-10 02:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358734358 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358736117 Day by day by day, the life of of Winston just passes on and on without any exciting moments ever occurring, until he whips out his journal and begins writing. This peak in curiosity from writing gives Winston the fuel he needs to begin his revolt. From there, it is only a matter of time before he may run the party into the ground or he gets shut down and the worlds remains as before.]]> 2019-05-10 02:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358736117 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358737655 This article connects with 1984 because it discusses the ability that the government has to stay in power of their people and how false information is given to citizens to idolize their leader and criminalize their enemies.]]> 2019-05-10 03:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358737655 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358739728 These two texts connect with each other because of the how the government is the most powerful force and it cannot be overrun without the help from everyone.]]> 2019-05-10 03:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358739728 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358740850 1. Propaganda
- Oceania has many mindless followers that are not aware of the information they are being fed on a daily basis about other nations, food supply, and idols.
- These citizens have hate weeks which are targeted towards the enemies of the party which happen to change pretty much weekly. Oceania can like a nation one moment and then hate them the very next.

2. Revolution
- Winston seemed like the very first hope at a revolution by the reader until he was able to make connections with Julia and O'Brien which both give him the help he needs.
- Julia may not be totally against the party, rather just bored actually, but she is right by Winston's side which gives him the confidence he needs to keep moving forward.

3. Standing out
- Usually, standing out is something that you would want to do, but in this book it is the exact opposite. Winston decides to get a little bit too risky with this rule and gets captured along with Julia.
- The risk taking was quite a bad decision because they happened to move above a member of the thought police when they used the room above the shop.

The things that I liked about this book were that it was very suspenseful at times which got me excited to keep reading and made me not want to put the book down. I also really enjoy dystopian novels because they help me get a look into different people's views of the future.

Dislike-
The things that i didn't like about this novel was that there was a lack of action which caused for some boring chapters or moments at times. I would've definitely enjoyed this book more if it had more action.]]> 2019-05-10 03:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358742864 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358743467 Honestly, I don't think that you should waste your time reading this novel because there are plenty other better dystopian novels that I would've enjoyed reading more. If you really enjoy dystopian novels dive in, but I just thought that the plot was a bit bland and needed more action.]]> 2019-05-10 03:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358743467 sethdunnuck https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358744267 I believe that the main idea that this story is trying to give off to the reader is that a person needs to stand up in what the believe in even if you are not part of the majority. The author doesn't want you to be afraid of what you have to do to express your opinion. Winston represents this well because he shows tremendous courage by the risks he is willing to take for what he believes is right.]]> 2019-05-10 04:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sethdunnuck/vlo5lzrvwfbx/wish/358744267
