Lord of the Flies, Of Mice and Men, 1984....
Mr chariton was a member of the thought police and there was a telly screen in their room
Parsons bragged about his children for snitching to the Thought Police for his unorthodox behaviour. Family values are eradicated in the society, hence even parents are afraid of their children. The children are trained since young to spy on their parents and report any unorthodox behaviour of their parents.
The the quality of life is better than it used to be and constantly getting even better.
That war is peace and ignorance is truth.
Winston Smith is the protagonist in George Orwell's book 'Nineteen Eighty - Four' .
there are many exampes of figurative language in the book here are some
the world was cold - personification
walloging in the water like a porposse -similie
looked grim as the loop holes of a fortress
all of these are in the first chapter
There are many important and some political themes in 1984. For example:
Paradox- this is frequent throughout, the idea that things that cannot happen occur regularly (for example there aren't any laws but there are crimes)
The second world war- there are many references to the war (v for victory-victory cigarettes) and other superpowers such as Hitler and Stalin. These sum up the book as a satire of the world and of communism.
Irony- some of the concepts in Oceania are ironic. For example: Winston's home, victory mansions, is a wreck.
Perception and reality- as the entire novel is set third person from Winston's perspective, we only know what he knows; this means sometimes you get different interpretations or unreliable info from Winston.
Freedom- this is a key theme and one of the most important in the book. Winston sees himself as the last sane man on earth, and he knows he is in no way free. He is watched constantly insuring he stays in line. However the prole's (proletariat-lowest class of citizen) are said to be free "proles and animals are free." This is a paradox as the proles work constantly and never rest for long, but they are free because they work for themselves.

George Orwell's novel Ninteen Eighty-Four employs language that we now know today as 'Doublespeak' ~ see related link below .
No , Winston now loves Big Brother after being tortured by O'Brien .
-Signing of the Declaration of Independence at Appomattox Courthouse
-The invasion of Turkmenistan by the 3rd riech on January 8, 1984
-The bombing of Little Man Atoll by the infamous Nagasaki bombs
-The rise of 'big brother' to power in Russia
These are a few of the events that relate to 1984--its a very fascinating book and time period though, and certainly worth some research when you have the time.
The similarities between Julia and Winston in the book 1984 are that they are both:
The greatest threat depends on your perspective. From that of the everyday Joe, like poor Winston, the greatest threat is a total annihilation of personal freedoms, of which there are few left. This means to him a lack of emotion.
For the government, the greatest threat is freedom from the government. The ability to fend for oneself is terrifying to a group so much concerned with power.
Also, you really should read the book. There's sex and violence and hive-minded oppression. It's quite good.
I don't recall him actually making a definition for freedom in Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Crimestop is a necessary mental discipline for good party members in 1984. Good party members have no private emotions; they are in a state of constant enthusiasm about the goals set by the state. Even children can learn to avoid thinking any thoughts deemed dangerous by the state.
Winston and Julia realize that there relationship is not what should be and is not what is allowed. But, they both feel like it is what they want. They both know they should stop, but they also know that they aren't going to, not until they are stopped by 'Big Brother'.
