... g (only thirty-five years from its
publication, whereas Huxley's and Zamyatin's
imagined futures are set hundreds of years away),
and second, the disturbing familiarity and
plausibility of the world that Orwell constructs.
Because the social world of 1984 is not that far
removed from the reader's own experience, he
becomes involved in a more profound, intimate way
than he does in Huxley's remote chrome-and-glass
society. Orwell wanted his readers to understand
not only the intellectual-theor...

Albert Speer Differing Historical Interpretations
895 words
They are many factors influencing the different
historical interpretations of Albert Speer. The
most influential was Speers own character
construction of himself in his defence at the
Nuremberg trials. This view was held by a majority
of historians until Matthias Schmidt found holes
in Speers story. A large blow was dealt to Speers
own construction of his role in Nazi Germany when
the Walters chronicles were released containing
various incriminating evidence. There are still a

Ministry Of Truth Totalitarian Regime

Fear, confusion and intimidation are not just
feelings. If they are used in the right way they
can be used for control and power. A dictator in a
totalitarian regime will use these emotions to
control his people. The world that Winston Smith
lives in has no personal rights, poor living
conditions, and everything is controlled by
hatred, even the peoples history and language. The
language Newspeak is being implemented by the
government to limit the possibility of political

I read the book, Go Ask Alice. The author was
anonymous. The main character was a girl, and her
name was not mentioned. It was written as a diary.
I thought that this book was very interesting
because it was true; it is based on an actual
diary of a fifteen-year-old drug user. In the
beginning, she has a break up with her boyfriend
and is anorexic. She eats very little. She
overcomes that obstacle though. The girl moves

Putting a Name to the Confusion A man who kissed
or embraced an intimate male friend in bed did not
worry about homosexual impulses because he did not
assume that he had them. In the Victorian language
of touch, a kiss or an embrace was a pure gesture
of deep affection at least as much as it was an
act of sexual expression, says Anthony Rotundo,
attempting to define the boundaries between
romantic friendship and erotic love, in relation
to same gender friendships, in the late nineteenth
century ...

new generation of collectors a useful start. But
