Finally! Done with the book, we had our final discussion today, and it went well. My group and i talked about Winston’s changes from the beginning of the book to the end of it and how the book could be the future of the world.
In the beginning of the book, Winston was a rebel. He rebelled against the government - Big Brother, Ministries, any representatives. - It said,” His pen slid voluptuously over the smooth paper, printing in large neat capitals -
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
over and over again, feeling twinge of panic,” while in the end he said,” He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Big Brother,” (Orwell 18&289). Seeing the transformation of Winston from a rebellion man to a guy that follows the government is a humongous change. Because in the beginning he was into trying to take down the government, like he would do any thing to bring down Big Brother, but in the end he just gave up because of the pain and torture he went through being in Jail. It just shows weakness, because people did not see heroes of time gave up on one little pain, but they worked harder to bring righteousness for the people. Winston did not know that and so he gave up that easily.
Later on my group talked about how the book could rate to the current world and how it could be the future of the world. Well observing from the wars that is currently happening and some of the government styles in ruling their country there is no difference from the book. In the book Oceania, Eurasia, and Europe, but in reality we United States is at war with other countries. With the government controlling over the people like slaves and wars are constantly happening the book could lead to the world’s future.
In conclusion, the book is great. i have enjoyed reading and Orwell’s prediction about the year 1984 could happen in the years head of the world.
