How Julia Tried To Herrick

Julia is Scott’s love interest for most of the book. She has short, dark brown, highlighted hair, wears a bit of makeup and has contacts. She does theatre which prompted Scott to sign up and also Vernon (her boyfriend),

When a government controls every aspect of one’s life, people tend to rebel in order to fulfill their desires. Julia, a character in George Orwell’s novel 1984, was constantly rebelling against the government Party. Even though Julia did not resist the authority in a powerful manner, she went against the government in order to be able live her life at the fullest. While living in a totalitarian government in 1984, through Julia’s rebelliousness, egocentrism and cleverness, George Orwell is able to portray her version of rebellion which was affected by the government Party since it included acting against the authority.

Herrick’s poem is a warning to young, beautiful, unmarried women to make the most of their time and marry young. He does not address it to any particular woman, other than young virgins. He uses to metaphor to compare the women's youthful beauty to flowers that will begin to die as they age. Meanwhile, Marvell's poem is a bit more personal. It's actually a seduction poem and the narrator is speaking directly to his coy (shy) mistress. He is basically

The narrator is in love with the way she looks as the narrator describes “the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side” The way the narrator describes the softness of her hair and the shyness of watching her from afar shows that the narrator thinks of her more than he speaks to her.

Julia is the epitome of everything that Winston loathes; pretty young women, for it makes him think of his own wife and emphasizes his jealousy. However we eventually find out that she shares Winston’s ideals about the hatred of Big Brother, and she is described as a “sexual rebel”, and had sex with various Party members, but saves herself from being caught by the Thought Police by wearing the red sash of the Anti-Sex League. Julia deceives almost everyone in this dystopian society, by posing as an innocent young woman, but secretly rebelling and hating the Party. Julia’s deceiving nature is indicated through her “ripping off the scarlet sash of the Junior Anti-Sex League, and flinging it onto a nearby bough.” The choice of diction used by Orwell emphasizes both Julia’s reckless nature and her dislike for the party; “flinging” the sash indicates to the audience that she does not actually believe in the Junior Anti-Sex League; that is was indeed a cover to protect herself from being caught, and the word “scarlet” to describe the color of the sash is perhaps even a warning or a foreshadowing that something bad will happen in the future with Winston and Julia regarding the validity of Julia’s membership in this chastity pledge. Through her actions, Julia has been deceiving the Party for a long time, as well as deceiving Big Brother for she has not been caught for 12 years, until her and Winston’s affair becomes known to the Thought Police.

Julia, just like Winston, was tortured. She acted distance she didn't talk to Winston at first, which is unlike her because she used to be very social. She also seemed like she did not want to be seen with winston, when she looked at him with disgust. Instead of being very happy and full of life she was very tense and in a gray area just like everyone else in Oceania. Physically “her face was sallower, and there was a long scar...across her forehead and temple… her waist had grown thicker and, in a surprising way, had stiffened” (291) Her body was described as feeling like stone. He is suggesting that something similar happened to Julia that happened to Winston. Julia mentions betraying Winston showing that their tortured could have ended the same

I think that this outside quote from a comic book is a very close representation of what Julia is thinking of when asked the question of rebellion. To Julia rebellion might mean almost nothing because to her the political power that is in place is already too much of a joke to take serious.

As she watches her father car disappear into the distance, she decides nows a better time than ever to leave. Julia packs up her soccer bag and goes to the mall. This is where we see Julia begin to be more conscious of how she feels about herself. As mentioned earlier in the novel, Julia’s not as physically matured as other girls her age. She doesn't wear bras or makeup which makes her feel like such an outcast.

The artist Artemisia Gentileschi, the year 1598-99, painted on canvas with oil paint. This painting called Judith Beheading Holofernes is know as a baroque painting because of its use of shading the background completely black to draw focus to characters, it also displays a wide variety of emotions. The subject of Judith Beheading Holofernes is simple and is right in the title, it’s about Judith over powering Holofernes, choking him with ribbon and later taking his head off. This is a very powerful statement that can hold meaning even today. Now I do not know much of the history behind this painting

“He sat and watched the freckled face, still peacefully asleep, pillowed on the palm of her hand. Except for her mouth, you could not call her beautiful. There was a line or two round the eyes, if you looked closely. The short dark hair was extraordinarily thick and soft.” Julia is a sick person, she does wrong all of the time, but that's what this world has done to her. She chooses not to listen to Winston sometimes, and she’s also a super adulterous person. I don’t like these things in her; I think they are ugly traits, so I made her face ugly. It already stated that she was not beautiful.

A couple of lines that show that Julia’s is being portrayed by Byron as a manipulator are, “They blush, and we believe them; at least I/ Have always done so; ̉tis of no great use,” (1425-1426). Byron uses the idea that beauty and charm are weapons and this is further proven with the lines, “The charming creatures lie with such a grace, / There’s nothing so becoming to the face” (1423-1424). Byron is being sarcastic about being ok with a lying woman. He says this to further make Julia look bad to the reader instead of having the reader have sympathy for the fact that she as a woman in this time period was married off to a much older guy who cheats on

This video was about a man who seemed very obsessed behind a belt that was given to him from his grandfather. Throughout the film he was looking for the belt, after continuing to watch the film I started to figure out why. He was not only abusing Julia but the way his father raised him affected the way that he treated woman. His dad wanted him to have authority and respect, which is fine but the way he went about to get it was totally unacceptable. He gave Julia a ring which suppose to symbolize love but he was showing her the complete opposite. Julia's son knew where the belt was all along but when he saw the bruise on her back he acted as if he did not know where it was. As the rude man got older and older, still begging for the belt, Julia

The structure and tone of the poem enhance the conflict and hopelessness the speaker is feeling towards the woman he loves and desires. For the first twelve lines of the poem there is an “abab” rhyming pattern. This ties into the despairing and desirable tone and how the rhyming scheme can be an example of the speaker constantly going back and forth between emotions for this women. For example, “And that mine eyes take no delight to range About the gleams which on your face do grow.” (Gascoigne 3-4) are two phrases that contradict the speakers feelings. Stating that his eyes take no delight in range can refer to the speaker finding no use or happiness in looking at the woman. Although, he then mentions the gleams upon her face growing, giving the audience the idea that even though the speakers love for the woman causes him deep despair, he still desires her enough to describe her features in attentive detail; in this example the gleams on her face. This shows the back and forth pattern and the speakers struggle when it comes

When things turned tough, Julia turned to fasting and praying like Gandhi did because he also tuned to prayer and fasting. There was a significant importance to as why Julia fasted and prayed just as there was a significant importance to why Gandhi fasted and prayed. Gandhi encouraged others around him to participate in the day of fasting and prayer. He wanted the British to see that the people of India can bring the whole empire to a standstill. It was their way of showing resistance against the British Empire. Julia also fasted and prayed while she was living on the tree. “Things began to get overwhelming. I decided to fast and pray. When cleanse your body, you also cleanse yourself mentally and spiritually. So I fasted and prayed, because

her eyes ... kindling a kind of active uncaring"(p. 114) toward him. Her physical beauty, "the rhythmic rise-fall of her buttocks, the tremulous up-downing of her behind"(p.151), will make him "hurt for her, for the taming of her" (p. 152), for years to come.
