Room 101, By Tim O Brien
Room 101 is implied to be specifically tailored for each individual. Room 101 exists to cause the deepest betrayal towards someone. Room 101 manipulates people to the point that they abandon their own ideals and love for one another. Winston and Julia did not love each other enough to stay loyal to each other in Room 101. Betrayal is the principle moral in this society, whether it is betraying Big Brother, or being forced to betray the things that you love and believe in. The betrayal of characters is prevalent in the novel. We are lead under the impression that O’Brien is an ally to Winston, but as the end of the novel is reached, O`Brien dissolves the trust that Winston entrusted to him. O`Brien quickly turns from friend to foe when

    1984 Winston's Villainy

    O 'Brien managed to give others the impression that he was up to something causing them to believe he was against the Party. His mysteriousness leads Winston to place his trust in O 'Brien in the hope that O 'Brien shared his rebellious thoughts. Winston had "a hope-that O 'Brien 's political orthodoxy was not perfect. Something in his face suggested it irresistibly" (13). The mysterious nature of O 'Brien made him the fixation of party members who dreamed of a rebellion. However, this mystery that draws in the rebellious is the same mystery created by the Party to catch the unfaithful. This shows the reader the true horrors of a totalitarian government as there is nobody that can be trusted, even those who appear to be the most…

    Eleven By Gary Soto

    “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros and “The Pie” by Gary Soto, both highlight the significance and experiences of young characters fighting with personal challenges in their story. Their personal conflict involves both characters being pushed by their own thoughts for the things they had done or what they were told to do. Both stories are told from a first-person point of view, which allows the reader to see their conflict and emotions around the issue. Both stories show a development as a person but in “Eleven” the character shows more development as she struggled to stand up for herself, she also does not feel or act her age and does not know how to maturely solve her problems but towards the end she finally finds herself and the issue resolved.…

    O’Brien: This guy really twists up my mind. He is the one who makes me feel like this is some kind of James Bond movie and people are getting double crossed everywhere. At first, he acts to make Winston believe him and he turns out to be one of the Thought Police leaders, now that’s just messed up. He told Winston that “They got me already” which probably suggests that he had tried to rebel in the past but a similar thing happened to him which brings him to being orthodox. This is probably the character that I liked the most while…

    1984 Rebellion Research Paper

    When a person’s peace of mind is compromised, so is their sanity. The early parts of the novel display the thoughts of Winston as he commits the epitome of thoughtcrime, writing “DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER”, repeatedly. This series of events being placed in the beginning of the novel throws the reader right into the oppressive government that is The Party, and shows the reader what they are all about. Rebellions are started by those who feel oppressed by their superiors, people who feel like they have no way out unless they fight their way out, start a revolution. Winston’s feelings of oppression are transferred into intense desires to rebel against The Party, specifically wanting to break one of their cardinal rules, no sexual encounters with anyone. He meets a fellow member of The Party who feels an urge to rebel, it is a selfish urge however as she only enjoys the personal thrill. Her name is Julia, and she has an affair with Winston to rebel against The Party, the two fall in love. This proves how quickly rebellious thoughts can turn into life changing scenarios, with Winston and Julia both committing crimes that can change their lives…

    Lost in the Kitchen by: Dave Barry

    In Dave Barry's essay "Lost in the Kitchen" Barry shares his opinion on sexual equality through a personal experience with his family on Thanksgiving. In the conclusion paragraph a point is made that before women's liberation, men took care of the cars and women took care of the kitchen. Now after women's liberation, men no longer feel obligated to take care of the cars. By this, Barry is meaning to say that before women's liberation, women had their specific, "feminine" jobs and men had their "masculine" duties to take care of. After women were liberated, those roles were disrupted and women became viewed as more qualified to take on those more "masculine" responsibilities. At first, one can imagine that men might have felt their definite masculinity slipping away from them and been insulted, but as time has passed that pride has subsided and men are now giving in to the new role women play in society, or as Barry implies, men have not only succumbed to this, but have gotten lazy. I disagree that the balance of responsibility between men and women is weighted more heavily on women due to men's passive or lazy tendencies because especially in a family situation, there are too many variables for the blame to rest on just one gender.…

    1984

    Betrayal is a concept of one losing hope and trust in another. Unknowingly, one can be misled by individuals closest to them, allowing them to lose hope. For example, one can be a victim of deception by the disloyalty of a close friend they trust. Similarly, George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-four demonstrates one losing hope in the individuals they meet. The interwoven themes of hope and betrayal are evident through O’Brien, Julia, and Mr.Charrington as they betray Winston, and Oceania’s society since they are misled by Big Brother.…

    Why The Party Will Not Fall

    In addition, the Party will not fall because the member of the Inner Party deliberately acts as spies to catch those who go against everything the Party represents. O’Brien is a great example of how the Party manipulates people so it does not fall. He is a spy, although Winston is not aware of this. O’Brien gives Winston “signals” that are meant to be interpreted as O’Brien is against the Party. He continues this charade with the fact that he is part of a secret society that goes against the Party called the Brotherhood.…

    The Things They Carried

    O’Brien is the most complex character in the novel, particularly so because there are three different stages of development. O’Brien the writer/narrator, “O’Brien” the soldier, and Timmy O’Brien the young boy all possess different thoughts and emotional understandings, each of which are in tension with the others. Part of O’Brien’s goal as writer/narrator is to emphasize these tensions. For example, each of these characters grapples differently with the concept of death. Timmy learned at a young age to accept death; soldier “O’Brien” attempts to retrieve that lesson to deal with death in war; O’Brien the writer connects…
