1984 George Orwell Quote Analysis

Going through life, we are told again and again and again that one person can make a real and impactful difference. Just one act can spark a change in the world more than you would ever possibly know. We are told that it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, or what your experience is in this world. One action, large or small, has the ability to snowball into something truly amazing. All of that is great and all, and that is how some people truly view the world that we live in. However, there are some people who have a much different point of view. These people would argue that the world that we live in is a terrible and threatening place; it’s not difficult to see their point on that topic. This world has too many terrorist

Quote 1: "Do anything to me!" he yelled. "You've been starving me for weeks. Finish it off and let me die. Shoot me. Hang me. Sentence me to twenty-five years. Is there somebody else you want me to give away? Just say who it is and I’ll tell you anything you want. I don't care who it is or what you do to them. I've got a wife and three children. The biggest of them isn't six years old. You can take the whole lot of them and cut their throats in front of my eyes, and I'll stand by and watch it. But not Room 101!" (1984 Orwell, Book 3 Chapter 1)

George Orwell's 1984 What look on humanity and human nature, if any, can be seen through this book, 1984?

In this excerpt from 1984, by George Orwell, Winston Smith, a worker for the ministry of truth, has been caught for committing a thought crime and is being taken to room 101 for punishment. During the passage, Smith desperately tries to escape his punishment. Through the use of rhetorical devices such as repetition, imagery, and details, the tone of urgency is revealed

"He was already dead, he reflected. . . . Now that he recognized himself as a dead man it became important to stay alive as long as possible." In 1984, by George Orwell, I came across the above mentioned quote. At this time, the character has just realized that if his acts are known by others, then his identity, his words, his existence and even all the proofs of his existence would vanish into thin air, as though he had never existed.

Quote: “If you are a man, Winston, you are the last man. Your kind is extinct; we are the inheritors. Do you understand that you are ALONE? You are outside history, you are nonexistent” (Orwell 276).

How big is the world? Some might ponder and the answer is, not as big as it seems. The world isn’t a scary, huge and untouchable place, as it is perceived to be. In reality, the universe is just a blank canvas filled with unique and mesmerizing people. That shapes our world into what it has become. The world would never be what it is without the people living on it. In the Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell explains the theory of the world and how it seems to be and control everything. Although, it’s the people in the world that make a difference. However people don’t believe they can change and make a difference in the world, but they can. Everyone has the power to change the world and shape their lives and others. Therefore it's up to them to decide if it will be for good or evil. In The Tipping point, Malcolm Gladwell uses the motif of how little things can make a big difference, for example, hush puppies. This motif signifies how the slightest movement in just the right place can change the world completely. We all have the power, but it can just take one to change the world.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” by R. Buckminster Fuller, This quote means you can’t change the reality by fighting it. But you can change it by creating a better world for yourself or someone else. This quote is true because you cannot go against the real world but you can create a better world for yourself by trying and not giving up. For example Pollution, instead of arguing with each other, people can make electric cars instead of cars that consume gas. The dystopian novel, Ready player one, by Ernest Cline and the short story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut jr. as well as real world events prove the interpretation.

Man must be able to take up his ability, time, and knowledge to change the future to the best of his abilities in order to stay clear from the claims of societal values. David Brooks’ article “The Child in the Basement” and Tom Shadyac’s film I Am both basically had the same idea of society. They both claimed that you should always put others before yourself and not focus too much on themselves, but they both had a bit of a twist to it. Brooks shows that sometimes letting people go can really affect their lives, but it 'll make a good cause for a large group. Or how some objects can make some happy, but a human is behind the making of it and it takes them a lot of effort. While Shadyac is all about how in today 's modern society the value and importance of materialistic objects and wealth is reserved to maintain high status and it often makes us forget about the ones who don 't have anything in their lives.

Having his uncle assassinated because of his involvement with MI6, a secret intelligence agency for the British Government, Alex was told (by the agency) that Ian had died in a car accident. However, this was revealed to him as a lie when Alex ventured into a junkyard and found Ian’s car. The sight of the car was devastating to the eyes of such a young boy. Everything came to him right away; the windows were all shattered, the side panel had a huge dent, and the tires didn’t even look like tires anymore. The theme of secrecy and covering up your “dirty” tracks in this novel is shown as a negative theme because of the psychological effects it can have on certain people once they find out about it. I chose this quote because it was how the author described the car

Passage Prompts 1984: George Orwell ““Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.” "” (Orwell, 33). Being loved is a great feeling. Usually by your mom, but still it’s great.

The strongest people are poor, starving, and treated like animals. In 1948, author George Orwell wrote the dystopian novel 1984. In 1984, Orwell created a world without freedom of speech, motion, and thought to portray an idea of our world with totalitarian power. In the book, it follows a member of the Outer Party named Winston, and his fight to keep his freedom of thought through love, rebellion, and secrecy. Throughout the book, it portrays three important themes, War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. The statement, “Ignorance is Strength” is a deep meaning throughout George Orwell’s 1984 due to the jocundity of the Proles, the rigid rules and expectations of both the Inner and Outer party, and Big Brother’s strive

“We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can change the world”

When there’s a problem in society taking action is imperative to resolving it. Without taking action, the problem will continue and could spiral out of control. It’s common for people to have the mindset that it’s up to others to take action, or that they won’t make a difference. However, the reality is that the ones who can get past this mindset are the ones who eventually change the world. Lack of action is worse than most negative traits, such as greed and overconfidence, because it’s possible to reduce these negative traits that are plaguing our society by taking action.

The Book 1984 was written by George Orwell shortly after W.W.II. I think this book really shows us what would happen if the government gets too powerful. It was written long ago and set in the future, but I feel like the message is still very relevant today.
