The party ensures that this occurs in a variety of ways‚ one

I can’t believe how comparable the movie Snowden is to the fiction-novel 1984 that was written almost seventy years ago. As terrible as George Orwell made the government seem to be‚ after watching Snowden‚ a movie based on true events‚ I realized our government is sadly not that much better as we share many similar concepts as 1984.

There are many similarities between life for us now and life for the citizens of Oceania from George Orwell’s 1984.
