The Bluebells represent the Party and Winston and Julia’s love affair. The Bluebells represent the Party because in the book 1984 by George Orwell because they appear to be something they aren’t. On the website, the author wrote, “It may not look like it, but bluebells has six petals all fused up together forming a narrow bell shape” (Auntyflo 1).

    1983 Dbq

    Farmers everywhere in the United States during the late nineteenth century had valid reasons to complaint against the economy because the farmers were constantly being taken advantage of by the railroad companies and banks. All farmers faced similar problems and for one thing, farmers were starting to become a minority within the American society. In the late nineteenth century, industrialization was in the spotlight creating big businesses and capitals. The success of industrialization put agriculture and farmers on the down low, allowing the corporations to overtake the farmers. Since the government itself; such as the Republican Party was also pro-business during this time, they could have cared less about the farmers.…

    What Are The Stereotypes In The Breakfast Club

    In this essay, I will be comparing John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club published in 1985 with Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower of 1999. The Breakfast club aims to highlight what went on in high schools as well as the larger society at the time, by using five unique stereotypes. In the movie, there was the jock: trying to live up to his dad’s and friends’ expectations; the brain, expected to be super-smart; the princess, who always wants to be a part of the popular crowd at school. There was also the criminal who is always negative, pessimistic and causing trouble. Finally, there’s the basket case who was silent the whole time except for the odd break outs.…

    Struggle Of 'Big Brother In George Orwell's 1984'

    Beauchamp compares the conflict of Big Brother and Winston with Christian myth of Adam against the God, the man’s first disobedience. In 1984 the state (Big Brother) is represented as God who demands absolute devotion and admiration. Winston in this case is like Adam who breaks the rules and betrays God. Later on, he will be punished for his deeds. The state that is described in the novel has the power over its citizens. The party in 1984 is the perfect image of a totalitarian government. They do not control only the behavior of the citizens but also control their mind, thoughts, their love and focus. Another difficulty introduced in 1984 is that even if citizens want to rebel against the party they do not dare to do anything because they are…

    Gilles de Rais was one of the first “modern” serial killers even though he was alive during the 15th century. Experts believed that he killed anywhere from 140 to 800 children (DeBoer., 2001). He was also one of the lieutenants under the infamous Joan of Arc (DeBoer., 2001). Gilles was believed to be a great sorcerer (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). He is also considered to be Bluebeard from old nursery songs (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). Bluebeard was associated with many horrible crimes and other atrocious things (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). Gilles’ trial was in 1440 when he was also executed for his crimes (Holloway., 2001). His crimes were rape, Satanism, mutilation, sodomy,…

    George orwell, "1984"

    In George Orwell's "1984", Winston Smith and Julia live in Oceania, where their actions become a subversive force that the "Party" must control. Oceania, located in Europe, represents a totalitarian society in its purest form during the 1940s. Many aspects of Wilson's and Julia's daily life in Oceania are monitored and controlled by the "Party." From the telescreen to the thought police, every action is under constant surveillance. In order to rebel against Big Brother, Winston and Julia commit a series of crimes without knowing that O'Brian, a member of the Inner Party, is watching them intently. O'Brian then deceives Winston and Julia into believing that he is part of the revolutionary group called the Brotherhood. Winston and Julia's betrayal becomes inevitable after their capture because of the psychological supremacy of O'Brian and the Party. Winston's physical and mental torture and brainwashing by O'Brian and the Ministry of Truth in the name of the Party is what ultimately leads to his psychological break down.…

    Symbolism of the Paperweight in 1984

    George Orwell’s 1984 is overflowing with a great deal of symbolism. The use of objects such as big brother, telescreens, red-armed prole, and the paperweight are just a few of many symbols found throughout the novel. Sometimes characters and other objects are used as symbols to aid in communicate the underlying meaning of the novel.

    1984

    Allow yourself to paint a colorful daydream in your mind in which the government controls every aspect of your life. Those colors that you’re seeing are probably various shades of grey and dark blue; it’s the perfect rainy palette an artist would use to describe a very sad image. No one has the right to tell others how they should live and certainly no one has the right to regulate if you’re actually doing as they’ve told you. But this is exactly what was predicted to be in the future by George Orwell in the well-known classic novel 1984. His book described a sordid futuristic world in which every aspect of life is being monitored by the supremacy of The Party, regulating its citizens of everything from sexual partners to the things they are allowed to think. In fact, the main character Winston Smith, is actually arrested for thought-crime. Fortunately, however, this totalitarian tale was set in the bleak, fictional streets of London, Oceania; the United States has quite a stable constitution in place to protect and prevent any aggressive attack from government to manage its people in the way that those leading Orwell’s dystopia had.…

    The Yardbirds In The 1960's

    In the 1960’s there were many cultural changes in music. Rock and roll has been around for decades and has inspired many artists around the world such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Who, and The Monkees. One of the great rock and roll bands that influenced new styles of rock is The Yardbirds. The Yardbirds formed in the 1960’s and had Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page play in the band, all of which were legendary guitarist. These three figures did much to shape the group's sound, but throughout their career, the Yardbirds were very much a unit (Larkin 479).…

    Abuse Of Power In George Orwell's '1984'

    He uses symbols such as Big Brother, The Brotherhood, Goldstein, who are questioned to even being in existence, to deliver the importance that there has to be some form of “Hate” in order to have control over a nation. Meanwhile, he also uses these symbols to progressively build Winston’s rebellion against the limits of the Party’s power. His diction and detail reveals dark images, with words such as Hate, “venomous attack” and “death”. Every time Orwell uses an em dash it, shows a transition of some sort. “…perhaps even—so it was occasionally rumored—in some hiding place in Oceania itself.” In this case, the transition comes from the description of Goldstein’s character to Winston’s present experience. The allusion to the First Amendment reveals importance because it places a stand that such means of government lives unprecedented and against law if communism would have held…

    In the late 1800s, many farmers were trapped in a vicious economic cycle. Crops prices began falling and farmers were often forced into mortgaging their farms so they could buy more land and produce more crops to break even. Good farming land was becoming rare and the banks took over the mortgages of farmers who couldn't make payments on their loans. The railroads, on the other end, took advantage of farmers by charging them extreme prices for shipping and storage. Both equally frustrating the farmer, who pretty much resembled a larger economic problem because if he wasn't doing well then the whole nation can’t do well either.…
