Comparing '1984' By George Orwell And Parasite By Mira Grant

The idea about human to reconcile the uncertainties of the past with a new or present situation. Throughout the year I studied the texts about, novel 1984 by George Orwell, a film Good Will Hunting and Shakespeare's play Hamlet. In these texts because the characters' uncertainty about the past, they won’t succeed in future situations in their lives. I'm referring from the text of how these uncertainties can have an effect for these protagonists throughout the story until they reach tougher situations.

When examining the totalitarian government of 1984 by George Orwell, a direct connection can be drawn to the motives and ideals associated with Niccoló Machiavelli’s The Prince. Machiavelli’s support of the political necessity as a means to remain in power resonate with the government whose aim is to “extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought” as a way to ensure complete political orthodoxy within the country (193). Specifically, Machiavellian thought plays an important part in 1984 as its ideas on reputation, revolution, avoiding hatred, and the use of fear to control a populace are used by INGSOC in order to maintain complete control throughout the story. In the following paragraphs, the connections between these

In George Orwell’s novel “1984” he discusses how the government keeps their citizens under surveillance to assure they are controlled and so they do not rebel or disrespect their form of government. Their surveillance consists of helicopters scouting around the buildings, looking into people’s homes and the telescreens that watch over people as they live their lives. Some people may argue that we are under the same type of government. We do not have helicopters looking into our house or telescreens that monitor us, However we do have GPS in our phones that monitor our location at any given time, which is like a more efficient way than using helicopters. We have cameras all around the country that monitor our every movement which is a more advanced version of the telescreen. As time passes, we see technology advanced enough to observe our daily lives at any given time, do you think we are under the control of big brother?

Imagine this, a perfect world of complete harmony and justice. There is no wrong, and there is no right. There is only utopia. It might be the perfect place where people want to live, or the place that people dream about. It might even be the picture of the future. However, this Utopian world is revealed to have flaws. It lacks many of the qualities of life that exist today. Thus the Utopian world isn't so Utopian anymore. And the more that is revealed about the world, the more horrible it becomes. Soon, it becomes a nightmare, a world of illusions, of lies. That is the dystopic world that authors such as Bradbury and George Orwell pictures in their books, a world that exists under the image of utopia, and yet to the reader seems like a

I like science-fiction and dystopian novels because it allows me understand different views of how the world will be in the future. This dystopian novel allows me to help the future to become a place that is good and allows me to change the future and protect it into becoming a society in which is dystopian or a utopian novel.

Throughout literature, authors have incorporated specific traits into a character’s world to express their views on political topics. From Huxley’s Brave New World to Orwell’s Animal Farm, the characters in each are heavily exaggerated to voice the author’s opinion of the current times. One of the most glaring examples of this political representation is George Orwell’s 1984. About a young man, Winston Smith, and his interactions with the Thought Police, the Resistance, and Julia—his forbidden love--- in a utopian society, Orwell represents the fears of many citizens in the 1940s: the rise of a totalitarian superpower. George Orwell, the author of 1984, wrote this novel at this time for a specific reason, incorporated characters that

Have you ever thought you have been led to believe something? Or been shown something, maybe even on purpose, to change your opinion and feel scared to make you feel the need to be protected? In the novel 1984 by George Orwell this is exactly what the government did. Big Brother lied, contradicted himself and would hide reality from the people. All of this to make the people of Oceania would love their government and feel like their government created the best life possible to those people. Now,how is our government, the United States of America, related to this?

Written by George Orwell in 1949, 1984 introduces the reader to the totalitarian country of Oceania, ruled by the all-knowing Brother and the Party. Winston Smith, a single man quietly opposing the Party, sees Brother two different ways in the novel; for almost the entire novel he hates everything that Brother is. After his capture, the original hatred of Brother is changed to absolute love, through the use of highly developed torture methods. Thus the reader, through the eyes of Winston, is able to make connections between the two sides of Brother and the similarities to God.

In our world, everything we do is monitored. Nothing we do goes unseen. Our world demonstrates the idea of an Orwellian society. The book 1984 by George Orwell shows a society that is a perfect example for this idea. The Stanford experiment, the documentary 10 Days in North Korea, and the Milgram experiment each represent a great example of an Orwellian society.

Have you ever wondered about what’s worth sacrificing for and what your belief is? Imagining yourself living in a totalitarian dystopia where your freedom is confined and human rights trampled, will you be courageous enough to stand up and fight against the oppression? In 1984 by George Orwell, the government has absolute control over the civilians and no privacy is given. People are under constant surveillance twenty-four seven by the “Telescreens” and once they are caught with doing anything that the “Party” prohibits, they will be tortured or vaporized (Orwell). After Winston’s acquaintance with Julia, he longs for freedom and no longer wants to be manipulated by the government; therefore, starting to commit rebellious acts against the “Party”.

Imagine a world in which you are constantly being watched. False history, monitored sex, no freedom. Obfuscating fact with falsehood becomes the standard, it is expected. Your entire life is decided for you, and you do not even know it. You are even content with it.

In the modern world, one must be skeptical towards the authoritative governments. How a government bodies regulates and governs shapes the beliefs, values, and attitudes of its citizens. George Orwell examines the dangers of this flawed relationship between government bodies and individuals. In 1984, he illustrates the worst possible outcome, a corrupt tyrannical government creating a dystopian world filled with lifeless citizens. Orwell explores the consequences of a totalitarian society in 1984 through the struggles of Winston, the manipulations of O’Brien, and the perfection of Winston.

Imagine a world where you are never safe. Your every move is monitored, and there is no one whom you can truly trust. A world where one group of all-powerful people can control the past through manipulation of facts and minds. This is the definition of Oceania, the home of Winston Smith in 1984. The book 1984 by George Orwell is a classic piece of literature read in schools around the world, and accidentally read by me over the summer. 1984 is a dystopian mix of science and realistic fiction, in which the year is, wait for it, 1984, and our main character Winston has to deal with both internal and external conflicts in the form of the Party, the ruling class of Oceania, and deciding whom he can love and trust, and who is spying for the Thought
