Space Monkeys
Winston is gazing out the small window with “his glasses”. The blackness of space meeting the gray landscape. He hears a door open and panics, quickly hiding “his” glasses. A man with a lab coat enters and says, “Winston, I think you have something that belongs from me. Hand it over.” Winston hesitated, being afraid of the repercussions. “I’m not mad bud. Hey wanna trade?”, showing a jar of Winston’s favorite, peanut butter. Winston gladly trades “his” glasses for his favorite. On the right of his lab coat, you can see the man’s name tag, Jack Morrison. Winston’s interest in the opening the lid soon gravitated back what lies beyond the window. Jack snaps Winston out of his gaze, “There isn’t much out there kiddo. Listen, I think

Winston became curious but had a sense of excitement because, during his whole life in Elysium, he has never seen this part of the station. The door opens into a large, dark room. As they walk into the room, the lights turn on, exposing the large telescope. Winston's eyes widen and wondered as to why Jack brought him to the Observatory. Jack kneels and positions his glasses on his face. He says, “You took these because you wanted to see what was out there. Well, see for yourself.” The dome ceiling splits into half, allowing light to infiltrate the entirety of the room. Winston could only see a blue sphere with large patches of a mixture of brown and green and bodies of white swirls. The sphere was surrounded by a blue aura, making the blue sphere seem like it was angelic paradise. Winston gaze couldn’t escape the blue body. He has never seen something quite like it and it made him appreciate everything about it. “See I know you always was curious and always wanted to explore the unknown. This is why I’m gonna introduce you our home Earth.”, Jack said. Winston’s attention was completely taken by Earth as Jack see his just widen. Jack reminisces, “See Winston the Earth is a beautiful place, but it such beauty was ruined.” Winton’s gaze breaks and brings his attention back to Jack. Jack continues, “Well we had a long history being on Earth you see? Year and Years of civilization and
Winston and Julia’s ambitions to spark rebellion eventually lead them to branching out in an effort to join the Brotherhood, a secret organization bent on the destruction of the Party. The duo approach O’Brien as he has shown sympathy for Winston’s sentiments in the past, and teaming up with someone from the Inner Party is advantageous for their cause. This is made clear when both Winston and Julia confess, “We believe that there is some kind of conspiracy, some kind of secret organization working against the Party, and that you are involved in it. We want to join it and work for it. We are enemies of the Party.
Sexual repression theme: this is Winston's dream- the only safe place for independent thought. Citizens of Oceania are not allowed to have sexual pleasure; only reproduction of more Party members. He is rebelling- which is against the law and he can be caught by the thought police for having these thoughts.
Winston walked down the sidewalk, a sense of apathy after his encounter with O’Brian in room 101 on several occasions, a sense of love; apathetic, emotionless love, for Big Brother. Winston did not remember what had happened in Room 101, nor how long he had been there for. Winston headed towards the park where he would meet the dark-haired girl he knew as Julia. Winston had an unexplainable emotion trapped inside his conscious, wanting to break free.
Winston and Julia meet in a room above an old junk shop which belongs to Mr. Charrington. Mr. Charrington 's room represents the past. It is full of objects such as old furniture, books, clocks, and paintings. One painting is particularly important. It depicts St. Clement 's Church which is not only a symbol of the past, but also of sanctity and
I would rather live in the World State due to life on the “savage reserve” being hazardous. On the reserve, food is not guaranteed. In 1984 it is stated that the environment of the savage reserves is so inhospitable that it is not productive to establish civilization in these areas. To me, living in the World State would mean losing my identity, so I wouldn’t miss the freedoms that I have now. On the other hand, on the savage reserve I would be aware of the missing food and absence of any luxury. Also, based on Bernard’s experience in the book, I would have a hard time fitting in on the reserve as a white person.
Days earlier, I remember when the German soldiers rounded us all up. They shouted and demanded us to follow them; once we turned the corner, I saw them. The cattle cars that would lead me to my death. A few minutes pass and and all 80 of us are piled into the cattle cars. Slowly the train moans as it gradually starts to move and the farther we go; the farther we travel away from the only place I called home. I decided to close my eyes and envision this wasn’t happening, but I was awoken from my daydream by an ear piercing howl. My eyes shoot open and I spot a lady screaming, “Fire! Fire!” (Wiesel 23). While her little boy sits there bawling his little eyes out. My father walked up to her trying to explain we’d be there very soon, and after
You will not believe what's happened this month. Before I proceed with my usual banter, I would like to greet you and follow through with the formalities in our monthly letters. How are you and Pa? What are you up to during this time of despair? Anyways, on with my stories. This month I encountered one of my biggest personal achievements yet; I single handedly went into a German Aerodrome and was able to rid of three of their planes and fly back to our base intact. I know you and Pa always tell me that I should know that these are people that we are fighting against. But sometimes it is so hard to view these Germans as people. It's the pain and anguish that they cause us that fuels the hatred that's depicted in most slurs and the overall attitude
Winston is walking around in Oceania when he notices the dark haired girl with her arm in a sling. Next thing he knows the girl trips and Winston cannot help staring at her. He knows the danger
Winston rushed out of his house, got into his car and headed towards school. Today, he had put on his favorite outfit -- worn blue jeans and a red plaid shirt that his grandmother had given him last Christmas. The lack of other drivers on the road on the way to school surprised him. The sunrise was pretty though -- it seemed to have the usual reds as well as some cooler colors like green, which he noted as unusual. He arrived at school and pulled up next to Roy's truck. "What a
Winston stood directly in front of the blinding telescreen. He held the note that Julia had just passed to him underneath his scrawny chin. As he stared forward, the telescreen had consequently left a white glow upon his already dull complexion. Winston had not even read the note, but he was aware that the passing of it was a crime in itself. Gazing across to Julia, who had maintained her stride through the Ministry of Truth, directed towards the cubicles. He wondered what would come of her heinous offense. Winston remained in this stance until the telescreen revealed an instruction to him: ‘Find her and guide her to Victory Square, we will be waiting to commence the arrest.’
In the beginning of 1984 Winston sets the scene by giving information about his surroundings. When he goes to help Mrs. Parsons, light is given to the junior spy league, which both of her kids are in. Later he is called to work at the ministry of truth, where he “fixes” and destroys documents in a fashion they know one realizes that it doesn’t exist. At the hate, he meets eyes with O’Brien and knows he wants to rebel too. He also sees Julia who will later become his love interest. Winston wanders to the area of the proles in search of the shop he bought his forbidden notebook from. It was left in its original condition unlike almost every other building. He soon rents it for him and Julia because of its lack of a speakwrite, a recording
The novel 1984 by George Orwell is an eye opening novel which showed how Big Brother had full control over his citizens. He created a sense of fear into the minds of the manipulated. Protagonist Winston Smith went through a series of challenges for trying to go against Big Brother due to the fact that they used physical force and psychologically manipulated their citizens to gain authority against their citizens.
In Chapter IV of Part One, Winston begins to describe the three different orifices. One is for written messages, one is for newspapers and another for waste paper which is called the memory hole. Winston throws anything down the memory hole if he believes it to be a thoughtcrime. The memory hole was created by The Party because they want to control the present. They direct the destruction of all records through memory holes. If a Party Member does not like something, it is thrown down the memory hole and will cease to exist.
As Winston is looking through Mr. Charrington’s shop he decides to but a small, blue paperweight with a piece of coral at the center of it. He buys the paperweight because it is a connection to the past, when the party didn’t control everyone’s thoughts and lives. Winston wants to know what the
The main character, Winston, wakes up in his flat and the setting is somber. The narrator describes the climate of London in general terms. There are telescreens which are both a television and a security camera. Along these lines, the general population are constantly under consistent reconnaissance. However, Winston has figured out how to restrain their observation by holding his back to the telescreen. Victory Gin is presented as a kind of “medicine” that lifts the spirits of the characters; this is required since the whole place is described by need and disregard. Winston sits in such a design, to the point that he can't be seen by the screen. Despite the fact that he can in any case be listened, he remarks that the screen can't track his developments.
