The Politics of Love

Quick Write: I connect more to Julia because of her sly-ful actions. She knows she being watched but can still pull off doing whatever she wants to do, as opposed to Winston he is always scared. I also have some of Winston's trait in thinking about the consequence and being terrified of that.

Final Reflection: Although I understand Julia not taking it serious because she thinks it doesn't matter, Winston is scared of the government and the society.

1984 and the Patriot Act

Quick Write: I do not think that Winston's world would occur today time. We are to strong of people to allow such things to go on. We fight our government as much as we can for fairness. Our country has come to far to turn back, it can only get better.

Writing in Newspeak

Quick Write: Doublethink is basically contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time. Ministry of Truth is really a group of people that work there to alter documents and change date. Also to erase events that can be use to have the citizens question there society and know their identity.

Final Reflection: In today's society their is no such thing as privacy unless your somewhere remote and far away from phones satellites. Everything electronic can be hacked into, computers, phones, tablets.

Big Brother in the News

Quick Write: Love is an emotion that can change someone into a totally different person. It can either be good or bad, and your partner is very influential when it comes to beliefs and things that's acceptable in life. When someone is madly in love sometimes they tend to exclude people out the lives, and it may not be done purposely. Love can open your eyes to see what you don't want in your life no more and what you learned what you do want.

Final Reflection: The future of their society does depend on the proles if they knew what was going on. The Proles were 80% of the population and could be a weapon to the society if used right. However they didn't care about politics, they did't care about the Party. The Proles had no government nor was they being watched, the government did not effect them or interfered with their lives.

Wassup with the Proles?

Quick Write: “From the proletarians nothing is to be feared. Left to themselves, they will continue from generation to generation and from century to century, working, breeding, and dying, not only without any impulse to rebel, but without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is.” I agree with this text because if theres no problem to be seen their will be no way of knowing what needs changing. The Proles live without the Party bothering them and they have not bothered the party. That's why the Party didn't care for 

Proles, Sex and the Destruction of Words

Quick Write: "It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words" means that to damaging the meaning of words and to make it sound are evil then what it is suppose to mean.

Final Reflection: "What is the Party's purpose in destroying words?" The purpose of destroying words was to create a whole different word. That eventually the society would not even know the right word on how to express themselves against the Party. They don't want the people to  have an idea and to think and question the society.

History as Construct

Quick Write: Yu don't know whats true or not true but we are taught that everything in history class is true because our future has made it clear thats what had happened. Also because my wonderful teachers Mr. David and Ms. Scott which is our a social studies team.

Final Reflection: History can change based on what we read in 1984. Winston is in charge of changing documents and forging important signatures. Therefore showing us that you can change history and the government does allow life changing changes to protect their government and control the people.

The Hate

Quick Write: Hate is a feeling where you despise something or someone so much you are not able to accept it on any level. Hate is caused by jealousy or resentment and hurt. Hurt can stream into any emotion and amplify their feelings. Hate can be good or bad- to hate on someone can be ones motivation but only if that person is strong minded. Hate can be a breaking point to the weak because they wouldn't know how to handle it. That's a matter of strength and how can you use that to your advantage.

Final reflection: Hate makes people go crazy. It gets you paranoid and it eventually wears your body done by having such a negative raw emotion in side of you.
