I just want to say that I felt that giving 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

Macbeth is Bipolar One would say that being bipolar in today’s society isn’t that bad of a mental disease‚ but when you throw that mental disease into the power of a potential king‚ you live on a day to day basis and never know what could happen in the blink of an eye. Bipolar Disorder is one of the oldest mental disorders and its symptoms have been molded by differing theories over time until it actually had its own classification. For many years‚ Bipolar Disorder was linked to Schizophrenia. The

Examination of Metropolis and 1984 reveal that dictators utilise scientific knowledge to satisfy the public’s desire for either instability or stability and in an effort to acquire and maintain control. Both texts present differing perspectives due to the respective periods in which they were produced.

“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

upon revisiting the literature I read years ago‚ striking parallels emerged between two specific works. In “1984‚” George Orwell preaches the dangers of totalitarianism and the deprecation of individual freedoms in the face of unbridled power. Likewise‚ Mary Shelley’s haunting reminder in “1984” dissects the consequences that arise from the pursuit of knowledge without ethical

Surveillance Affecting Civil Liberties Many Americans are being watched‚ in great detail‚ by the government. In its ongoing battle against crime and terrorism‚ the U.S. has ramped up its surveillance on individuals over the years. As in the book‚ 1984‚ by George Orwell‚ "Big Brother Is Watching You". Many people feel that this surveillance is a major invasion of privacy and a violation of their rights. The USA PATRIOT Act was rushed through Congress 45 days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

In my view‚ Lady Macbeth is far worse than Macbeth. Although they both think of murdering King Duncan as soon as they hear the witches’ prophecies‚ Macbeth thinks more about what he may or may not do‚ whereas Lady Macbeth immediately appeals to evil spirits to give her the strength to kill Duncan. When Macbeth first hears the prophecies‚ and when the first 2/3 of it comes true‚ he does think of killing the king‚ but also‚ towards the end of Act 1‚ Scene 3‚ he thinks that perhaps he doesn’t need

Perspectives 12 20 October 2014 Surveillance It is safe to say that people live in an age where it is possible to say that one is alone and privacy doesn’t exist. People are always being watched‚ tracked‚ listened to‚ and investigated. In the book 1984 one of the main topics would be that “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU” ( 2). Wherever they go‚ they feel as if they are being watched. If not by the thought police‚ then they are being watched by the telescreens. A world where no one is safe‚ nor trusted
