Book Club Working Conditions
1,012 wordsThe 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 wordsOrwell'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 wordsThrough 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 wordsGeorge 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 wordsI 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...

Point Of View Controls The Past
592 wordsEric 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...

Individual Beliefs In Shooting An Elephant By Orwell
661 wordsIt'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 wordsPsychological 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 wordsStalin 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...

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Brave New World
2,396 wordsA 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.

Brave New World George Orwell
978 wordsIn 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 different means...

George Orwell 1984 People Of Oceania
952 wordsFreedom 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...
