Book Club Working Conditions
1,012 words
The book, The Road to Wigan Pier, by George Orwell
depicts the life of miners in 1930 s Britain. The
1930 s in Britain were rough unless you were part
of the upper class. The miners and others of that
stature were suppressed, by taxes, by other
classes, by just about anyone and anything you can
possibly think of. It has a very socialistic point
of view. Along with Orwell, there were a good
number of men in Britain with the same view. The
man that published the book, Victor Gollancz, was
a social...

Snowball And Napoleon Animals
393 words
Orwell's second chapter is drenched with metaphors
most of which will not come to light until later
in the novel. The first is old Major's death. This
represents the end to the older regime, the
initial revolution. Now someone else will have to
step into authority. Secondly Orwell strangely
describes a pig named Squealer. The name sounds
fairly pig-like but his actions don't. Supposedly
Squealer has a special ability to persuade others.
Orwell boasts, .".. he could turn black into
white. " Obvio...

Tele Screen Character Winston
494 words
Through out George Orwell's 1984, the use of
telescreen's is very efficient and effective for
the Party. On the other hand it plays a very hard
role on our main character, Winston. Through out
the novel, he lives in fear of the tele screen and
is ultimately taken by the mighty power that is
the Party, all in help by the tele screen. The
watchful eye of the tele screen is not totally
fiction though, in many places it all ready
exists. Winston is a worker who's job is to change
history to make sur...

World War One Leon Trotsky
873 words
George Orwell was a great writer; he created a
book with many different qualities. Animal Farm is
an allegory, fable, and a satire. He made the
characters in the novel relate to real people and
events in history. Examples such allegory would be
Animalism compared with Communism, Snowball
compared with Leon Trotsky, and Napoleon compared
to Joseph Stalin. Animalism in many ways does
symbolize Communism. Animalism for the animals
would be a perfect land, no rich, no poor, and
everyone is equal. Th...

U Po Kyin Po Kyin Book
403 words
I was intrigued by how the writer George Orwell
portrayed each character's personality. Each
character had their own unique characteristic. For
example, Mr. Floury's character was unique in
every aspect imaginable, by the way he tries to
help Dr. Veraswami's get elected in the club. He
was not always positive, but in some instances he
was cruel. There was a demeanor about him that was
portrayed very well from start to finish. The
arrival of the bobbed blonde, Elizabeth
Lackersteen, not only show...

Majority Leaders Big Brother Winston
498 words
Orwell's primary goal in 1984 is to demonstrate
the terrifying possibilities of a totalitarian
government. The protagonist, Winston, is the
looking glass into Orwell's horrifying perfect
communist society, where all of Winston's worst
paranoids and fears are realities. Winston's
personality is such that he resists the groupthink
pressure that is put upon him, he attempts to gain
individuality throughout the plot. This resistance
allows the reader to gain a thorough understanding
of the Partys ha...

Point Of View Controls The Past
592 words
Eric Arthur Blair was an important English writer
that you probably already know by the pseudonym of
George Orwell. He wrote quite a few books, but
many believe that his more influential ones were
"Animal farm" (1944) and " 1984 " (1948). In those
two books he conveyed, metaphorically and not
always obviously, what Soviet Russia meant to him.
I would like to make some comments about the
second book, " 1984 ." That book was written near
his death, when he was suffering from
tuberculosis, what mig...

George Orwell Animal Farm Symbolizing Totalitarianism
311 words
Totalitarianism a type of government that attempts
to assert total control over the lives of its
citizens. This form of tyranny was a 20 th
-century development that was instituted to serve
the goal of transforming society according to
socialist principals. All previous political
institutions and constitutions were relinquished
and replaced by new ones. This thought of
government was meant to make everyone equal and
ironically strips everyone of his or her basic
rights. Totalitarianism is expres...

Individual Beliefs In Shooting An Elephant By Orwell
661 words
It's ironic how some individuals are willing to
push aside their moral beliefs in what is right or
wrong to gain acceptance. In Shooting An Elephant
by George Orwell we see how he puts all his true
beliefs to the side to gain some sort of closure
on the way the people view him. At times people
are put in complex situations where they have to
decide between whats right and wrong without
knowing the outcome. The building up of the
feeling of pressure starts with Orwell feeling
humiliated and disre...

Control The Future Controls The Past
591 words
Psychological control is a major theme occurring
in 1984 and Orwell proves this theme is possible
by giving examples of how a totalitarian
government could gain psychological control using
their power to control history and technology.
George Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning to people of
what might come in the future if people were not
careful. At the time Orwell was writing the book,
the Cold War had not yet escalated, and many
American intellectuals supported communism. Orwell
demonstrated his t...

Ministry Of Truth Forms Of Media
882 words
Stalin and Big Brother achieved total control, not
only of social and economic aspects of the state,
but also of their people's personal lives. They
did this first and foremost by constantly
observing the people. Both Stalin & 'The
Party' believed in total control over their 'party
members'. The objectives of the Spies, the
Ministry of Truth, Thought Police, and the tele
screens in Oceania are mirrored in Stalin's Russia
by the actions of the KGB, and all the
technologies they used to monito...

Racial Profiling George Orwell
1,388 words
Sacrificing Freedoms Temporarily to Enjoy Them in
the Long Run In the wake of events of 9 / 11 many
people in America began questioning whether civil
rights in our country need to be provided to them
at any cost. There is no doubt that, those who
declared war on America, would do their utmost to
undermine the security of Americans. The fact that
all the citizens enjoy certain freedoms makes it
easy for international terrorists to blend in
society. This problem especially became acute
recently. M...

Brave New World Believed That Man
2,754 words
On a superficial level Brave New World is the
portrait of a perfect society. The citizens of
this Utopia live in a society that is free of
depression and most of the social-economic
problems that trouble the world today. All aspects
of life are controlled for the people of this
society: population numbers, social class, and
intellectual ability. History is controlled and
rewritten to suit the needs of the state. All this
is done in the name of social stability. When one

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Brave New World

A Comparison Contrast of A Brave New World and
1984 Although many similarities exist between
Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World and George
Orwell's 1984, the works books though they deal
with similar topics, are more dissimilar than
alike. A Brave New World is a novel about the
struggle of Bernard Marx, who rejects the tenants
of his society when he discovers that he is not
truly happy. 1984 is the story of Winston who
finds forbidden love within the hypocrisy of his
society. In both cases, the m...

Brave New World George Orwell
978 words
In the novels 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New
World by Aldous Huxley, the two societies have
reached an almost utopian state of being. There is
no world hunger, and although there may still be
war (only in 1984), there is great prosperity. In
both cases, the societies exist in many similar
ways, such as the evident hierarchies and castes,
and the ever-present means of population control.
These societies, though, are established and
maintained in different manners, such as the

George Orwell 1984 People Of Oceania
952 words
Freedom and Liberty (a book review of George
Orwell's 1984) Living in a society with limited
freedom of expression is not, in any case,
enjoyable. A Totalitarian society is a good
example of such a society, because although it
provides control for the people, it can deny them
a great deal of freedom to express themselves. The
fictional society in George Orwell s 1984 also
stands as a metaphor for a Totalitarian society.
Communication, personal beliefs, and individual
loyalty to the government ar...

George Orwell? s 1984 George Orwell's novel 1984
is a frightening example of a totalitarian
government. This government of unchallenged power
controls not only the present and future of its
people, but also the past. Many times the Party,
the name of the government, alters the past to
suit its needs. Orwell's vision is frightening
because of the total lack of freedom given to the
people by the government. In many ways George
Orwell's vision of the future has come true, and

The Lack of Rights in Oceania In George Orwell s
novel 1984, clearly the citizens of Oceania have
no discernible rights. They are not allowed to
speak for themselves, they cannot have personal
relationships with anyone, and above all, they
must abide by whatever the Party and Big Brother
tell them to do. They live in fear that their
every action could be reported to the Ministry of
Love, which could torture them until they love Big
Brother and abide by what the Party tells them to
