Hunger Games Personal Narrative

First of all, The Hunger Games is a valuable piece of literature because it provides readers with not only relatable characters, but a great role model. In the book, the protagonist Katniss Everdeen is willing to sacrifice everything for her family when she decides to volunteer to take her sisters place in the annual “Hunger Games”. She is motivated by the overpowering love she has for her family, but doesn’t expect to be viewed as a hero or a star, for all she wants to do is survive and protect all the innocent people affected by the capitol. She teaches readers that where you come from does not determine your future, and if you don’t like your circumstances then you have the power to change it. Katniss is sending a message to readers by saying “You don't forget the face of the person who was your last hope.”( Collins 85) This means when you’re placed in a bad

1984 is a novel that is placed in the future where propaganda is the main theme. 1984 was written during World War II was taking place, therefore greatly impacted the writing and material that was used in 1984. Orwell wrote this book as sort of a warning to make sure that another Hitler would not come into power. Orwell, in an essay titled, “Why I Write,” he had stated that

“1984 expresses man’s fears of isolation and disintegration, cruelty and dehumanisation…Orwell’s repetition of obsessive ideas is an apocalyptic lamentation for the fate of modern man. His expression of the political experience of an entire generation gives 1984 a veritably mythic power

1984 is an eye-opening novel written by George Orwell. Orwell wrote the novel in 1949 to outline how he projected society would be in 1984 if progress continued upon its current track. Orwell published the book as a warning that society must be careful about progress for progress’s sake, or conditions could end up similar to the way society is in his work 1984. The novel is divided into three chapters, or books, each with multiple subunits, and these sections tell the story in chronological order. The book ends with an appendix on the principles of newspeak, the new language of Oceania.

1984 is a typical dystopian novel in which Orwell explores the many issues present during the time in which he wrote this book. He successfully creates a world in which technology is vastly more sophisticated than it was during the time in which this book was written and in which fear is used as a tool to control individuals who do not conform to the social norms. The horrible and dangerous futuristic world controlled repressively by the government and the thought police is portrayed wonderfully by Orwell who is able to create the perfect dystopian realm.

Though it was written in Germany, it was soon banned by the Nazi party who took control of the government, as it was seen as anti-German, by the Nazi Powers. “All Quiet On The Western Front” was, and still is, very popular in France, Britain, and America after the war. It gave many people a view into the life of enemy soldiers going through war. “All Quiet On The Western Front” was written years after World War 1 ended, in Berlin, Germany. It was finally published for the first time in early November of 1929, 10 years after the war ended, as a series in a German magazine. It was first published as a book in the beginning of the next year, on January 29, in Germany, where the author lived At the time, in the area, the Nazi’s were coming to power, and they officially banned the book in Germany, as it made people want to fight against war. The book changed many people’s view, but many

All Quiet on the Western Front is told from the perspective of German soldier, Paul Baumer, who journals about the brutality and callousness of war. The novel chronicles the demise of Paul and his classmates from high school graduation and military basic training to the trenches of WWI battlefields. Paul Baumer, is as an idealistic young poet swept away by the Rhetoric of his teacher and the misguided patriotism of his peers. He is in many ways just a child that hasn’t traveled beyond his own backyard.

First published in 1949, Orwell certainly believed that the novel would have some higher purpose in the political sphere, and it did. But perhaps it wasn’t the purpose that was truly intended? Nearly seventy years after its first appearance, 1984 can be found on many high school, college and political group reading lists. Coining terms such as “Big Brother,” or “thoughtcrime,” the novel created an entirely new type of dystopian society defined by many as “Orwellian.” But with close reading one can see that George Orwell wrote 1984 for a very specific purpose. In 1984 Orwell writes about the dangers of deviating from a true socialist society.

The author created an alternate dimension where the future was a nightmare: being watched at all times, no private moments, and no ties to anyone except Big Brother were allowed. 1984 is an endeavor by Orwell to make the public face their reality head on, to make them realize that they are capable of choosing their way of life. Choosing powerful themes, he wants to awaken primal emotions in his audience; he wants them to struggle under the finger of Big Brother and not be tolerant of such dictatorship. Orwell needs people to think and decide for themselves what they want in life. He doesn’t want to them to follow submissively but guide and construct their own future by any means

dear Mrs. Marghiem. Recently I read George Orwell’s, 328 paged book 1984. Originally called Nineteen Eighty-Four, was published on June 8, 1949. The book was a huge success, but after getting tuberculosis, Orwell had a limited time to experience the books success, dying on January 21, 1950 he never lived to see 1984 and the big hair it brought with it. But however this book has left a lasting mark on the world of literature for now and years to come. I have to warn you this book is not a light read its probably the heaviest read you can get from a book that only has 328 pages in it. There were many times I had to stop reading for sake of keeping my mind from blowing up.

In the book, 1984 by George Orwell, there are many connections that could be made to situations today, despite the book being a dystopian world in which we do not live in today. Parental monitoring, microchipping, and political correctness are three things that we can see very commonly today, and those three themes can fit into the book 1984.

George Orwell lived through WW1, Russians revolutions, the Great Depression, the Rise of Nazism in Germany, the Spanish Civil War, the Stalinist show, WW2, Atomic bombs dropped and the emergence of communism. Orwell’s hatred of communism is deeply emphasized throughout the novel. The novel 1984 is significant to Orwell’s life experiences to communism because at the time Orwell was disturbed

Taking place forty years ahead of the time it was written, 1984 was written with the purpose of revealing the dangers of a totalitarian society. Despite the large time frame from when 1984 was written to the year the Cultural Revolution took place in China, and also to the year 1984 was set in, this novel accurately depicts a totalitarian government during the 1900s. In 1966, the Communist Party leader, Mao Zedong launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in fear of losing power to the Communist party to his adversary, Liu Shaoqi. Similar to the government policies in Oceania, the Communist Party corrupts the minds of the children in order to enlist them as loyalists to the Party. They also harassed and denounced party bureaucrats,

The novel 1984 displayed what George Orwell believed would be the future. The government in the novel has taken over and has become super controlling. Orwell showed how the people of Oceania lived and worked in the same repetitive schedule everyday. While at home, they were expected to perform certain tasks that were approved by the government. Everyone was also expected to work for the government and do everything that it said.

In a totalitarian controlled society, the people are brainwashed and psychologically manipulated to a very large extent. The novel 1984 by George Orwell, was published in 1949 telling what Orwell was envisioning the future would be like, thirty-five years later, in the year 1984. The novel is based on a totalitarian ruled government where the people lose all of their freedoms and are treated as if they are not even human. The novel 1984 relates to a very well-known event that occurred in 1924; that is the year that Joseph Stalin took control over the Soviet Union. The novel relates to Stalin because of how the ruler, Big Brother, controls things the same way as Stalin did.
