    “Freedom is the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear‚” says George Orwell‚ writer of 1984. The Party has taken away the rights of the people to know the truth in order to maintain power. Although some would believe that the most central paradox in Orwell’s 1984 is the Party’s slogan “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength‚” it is clearly the act of doublethink because it’s the Party’s form of psychological control in order to maintain power. To demonstrate‚ it is the

    A Cell Compared to a Hospital Cameron Browne The main organelle is the nucleus. I think the nucleus is like the hospital administration because the nucleus is the core of the cell that handles everything‚ and the hospital administration handles everything that goes on in the hospital. Without the “cores” for both the hospital and the cell‚ neither could properly functions. The nucleolus is the center of the nucleus‚ and it basically sends out all of the other organelles that work within the

    a speech would be better than making a video because there’s really no way that I can make 1984 funny. I would honestly classify George Orwell’s work as a horror novel. It doesn’t have the traditional horror elements like zombies or a haunted house. That kind of horror is child’s play. The horror in 1984 is the scariest kind because it almost seems plausible. The story revolves around a totalitarian society where the government is trying and succeeding to unite all of humanity under its influence
