The main conflict in this story was man vs. society. The man‚ a frail person in his late 30’s to early 40’s named Winston‚ v. society’s totalitarian government that controls every aspect of it’s peoples’ lives. In this book‚ 1984‚ the government eliminates privacy with an instrument called a telescreen‚ a tv with an intercom and a camera in every room‚ which is always on. They use the telescreens to keep constant surveillance over people in their own homes. There is also no way to tell if the

“Who we are is truly tested and proven when we encounter conflict” The true test of someone’s character is not determined by how we deal with conflict in our life‚ but how we deal with all the aspects of our lives. Conflict is unfair. Innocent people tend to be greater victims of conflict‚ than those who are actually involved in the conflict. While some people know the art of dealing with conflict‚ others feel helpless and give up immediately. In the Rug Maker by Najaf Mazari‚ Najaf is put

Beowulf Movie Critic Do you envision a strong female role or a male role as your hero? In my opinion the Beowulf movie was a thumbs up‚ due to Angelina Jolie’s use of seduction and female wiles. Angelina is a critical character who drives the plot. In the movie‚ her character of Grendel’s mother overshadows Beowulf‘s character as a hero.
