Utopia Vs Dystopia

A utopia and a dystopia are two very different things with two very different meanings. A utopia is “an ideal place or state” (Utopia). A dystopia is “a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding” (Dystopia). In the book 1984, there is a society where they are trying to create a utopian society occur. The thing is, is that there are always people that want a change and that happens here. It changes from a utopia in their opinion to a dystopia. In the Winter Hill Gang, there have been many leaders, but one specifically, Whitey Bulger. He ruled Winter Hill Gang from 1979 until 2011 when he was caught at his house. The gang wanted to change the way society lived, had a hierarchy of power, and also
division of labor. In the eyes of the Winter Hill Gang they are living their utopia where in reality they are living a dystopian lifestyle. Utopias are very difficult to create and whether they are in books like 1984 or in real life like the Winter Hill Gang, they never work and always fail.
