These are direct quotes from the song "Testify" from the band Rage Against the Machine which resonates with 1984 because information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted. Both question the figureheads that are in control of the society at hand. Winston ponders about Big Brother's right to authoritative powers which is what the band is making remarks about society in their song.]]> 2022-09-22 19:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dnguyen233/z4ct9iuxbz9pychc/wish/2309410317 dnguyen233 https://padlet.com/dnguyen233/z4ct9iuxbz9pychc/wish/2309418027 Due to a fertility crisis in New England, women are subject to a a Christian fundamentalist theocratic regime that takes control of their rights.
