Short Story Of 1984 By George Orwell
This story 1984 is a very good story about how this society they live in is corrupt. In my opinion the author wrote this novel to show how this relates to the bad in our society. Our society today relates to 1984´s society because of many things. Laws are ran to much through the government's decisions. We now have a tyrant as our president only in it to benefit himself and not the nation.

In the novel it is possible for you to be arrested for no reason but someone thinking that you're about to commit a crime. The same thing happens in today's society all the time all over the nation. You also cannot have any sexual relations with anyone unless you're married. This is similar to some countries around the world.

Overall this was a good story

    What does ‘prole’ mean? The Oxford dictionaries describes ‘prole’ as ‘a member of the working class.’ The book 1984 portrays the Proles in similar way, who are weak, animal-like, working class people. The Proles in 1984 are the vast majority (85%) of the populace, but they do not have a significant part in the novel. The Proles live in a deserted area which is described as very filthy, “He was walking up a cobbled street of little two-storey houses with battered doorways which gave straight on the pavement and which were somehow curiously suggestive of rat holes” (Orwell, 86) Furthermore, Orwell represented the Proles as “swollen, waddling women” and “old bent creatures shuffling along on splayed feet” (Orwell, 86) which shows that they…

    1984 is fascinating, because it was written to take place in the future, but the future has since become the past. The year 1984 has come and gone, and, fortunately, we do not live in the world envisioned by George Orwell. Nevertheless, some of the parallels between the world presented in the novel and the present day are eerie.…

    All societies are controlled by their government in many different ways. Many societies are controlled by a democratic government, while other societies are controlled by dictatorship. These styles of government both have pros and cons. The passage from "1984" by George Orwell distinctly shows that society is a horrible and harmful place to live in because there are certain rules that people have to follow. "It was Mrs. Parsons, the wife of a neighbor on the same floor (" Mrs was a word somewhat discountenanced by the Party- you were supposed to call everyone "comrade"- but with some women one used it instinctively)"( Orwell paragraph 2). In this part of the passage, it is told that there are rules that are needed to be followed in society,…

    Comparing the 1984 novel to today's society seems bizarre because this story is pretty unhinged. One may even believe that our society could not be like 1984, yet we are very much alike which is the fearful part. The government in 1984 practically owns the people. Every individual…

    Fake news. There are many different and contrasting news that go around from In an age where an audience of millions (on the Internet) is easily accessed, the quantity of information being produced has increased greatly-along with that, the quality and truthfulness of this information has become less reliable. The people feel like it is their right to talk and express what they feel in whatever way possible in different mediums because it is the first amendment . They may be right, but do you ever think what would happen if the government decided to control and limit what people say or do, in the name of “ for the society’s own good”? In many texts and works of literature during and after World War II, people depicted what the world and society…

    Loyalty is defined as the quality of being loyal to someone or something. Naturally people are going to wonder if loyalty can be bought, sold, or stolen. In the novel 1984, by George Orwell, Orwell explored the depths of loyalty through the main character Winston Smith. Through this characters relationships, experiences, and where his loyalties rested.

Although Winston was pressured by the government to be loyal to it, he showed…

    George Orwell's 1984 is a novel which describes utter and total hate- hate of those who are different, hate of evil and hate of all other humans. It is where love is described as absurd, and totally unnecessary. People are bred to hate, and hate is the primary emotion that people feel. The lack of love and kindness is what brings the society to such a complete totalitarian state. Human beings instinctively crave love and care to thrive and without it no one can truly be happy or free. This works well for 1984 because it is a hate driven society, but the lack of love causes unrest with those who can see the importance of love. By seeking out a relationship in this society it is a certain death sentence and no moral conviction or emotional loyalty is strong enough to withstand torture or betrayal. Physical pain and fear will always cause people to betray their convictions if doing so will end their suffering.…

    Technology has strived through history to make what it is today. To the making of the wheel, cotton gin, to the first transportation system in America. A particular piece of new technology, the smartphone, allows communication through two screens and permits audio. This has particularly brought to attention because of its similarity to George Orwell’s 1984 telescreens. In the book, an authoritarian government ruled by Big Brother controls its people by various telescreens planted around various places, hidden to the eye. Shown by the quote, “Big Brother is watching you,” the setting in 1984 is ruled by fear. An alarming question brought upon us is, “are we reaching a similar setting as George Orwell’s imagination?” Although there may be important counterarguments, the answer to that question is no.…

Pages 103-107 show Winston, the main character, entering an antique shop, a dangerous choice, and exploring the pieces of the past within. Orwell’s purpose in this passage is to show the effect of the past on Winston and how much he wishes for it. The past, history, and longing are the main focus of the passage. Orwell is speaking to his readers. They are in the midst of a time where their personal freedoms are at stake, as the communist revolution takes place. He is pushing people to remember their pasts and their free lives. He does this by using a soothing and appreciative tone to describe the articles of the past in comparison to his dystopian present.…

    There’s no point in trying to fight the government; it will always have control over us, no matter how hard we try to fight it. Americans are like the members of Oceania in Orwell’s 1984 today due to the use of photo and media manipulation by the government in order to rewrite the past. Some people may believe that the government does not have complete control because the public voices their anti-government opinions through protesting, but little actually comes out of these protests.…

    In George Orwell’s most famous novel, 1984, he unleashes a story in the world of a dystopian society. The society is constructed around total power and elimination of free thought through the implementation of dangerous technology and censorships. Although our technology is progressing towards the same technology in 1984, in regards to tracking and monitoring, our technology is used for different motives, and therefore, is not taking us towards the world of Big Brother.…

    Lucille Roybal-Allard said, “Even though some in our government may claim that civil liberties must be compromised in order to protect the public, we must be wary of what we are giving up in the name of fighting terrorism”. In the dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell, the citizens in the community have no rights whatsoever and the society is in terrible shape. It is unnecessary to sacrifice civil liberties in order to live in a safe, egalitarian society because the people will not be equal and safe if the right against unreasonable search and seizure, freedom of speech, and right to privacy are altered.…
