    “But I knew that was what he wanted, even as the lot echoed with the cracks of shots, even as I begged silently-Please, not him… not him and Johnny both-I knew he would be dead.” I believe the character, Dally Winston, from the book “The Outsiders”, and I think he is crazy and her are some reasons why. He pulls out a switchblade, robs a gas station, and carries a heater. The book, “The Outsiders”, is about groups of kids called the SOCS (short for socials) and the Greasers. The socs, a gang made

    Just as Orwell’s style of writing kills Winston’s freedom, he chooses to write in the first person to show Winston’s psychological breakdown. Throughout the novel, Winston’s view of himself deteriorates as the Party becomes more involved in his life. After being half-starved and beaten for weeks by the Party, Winston takes a look at himself through a mirror: “A bowed, gray-colored, skeleton like thing was coming towards him. . . It was his own face.. “You did it,” cried Winston” (Orwell 223-225)

This is especially true in the last two sentences in Orwell’s book in which he wrote, “He

    In the beginning, Winston Smith is a middle aged worker, living his life out in what Orwell (at the time) expects the future to be like in 1984. When first meeting Winston, his actions and his thoughts don’t connect. His actions and emotions follow the ideals of The Party, expressionless and robotic, yet his thoughts scream the opposite; his mind is human. Winston is not in agreement with The Party and their communist regulations, he wishes to fight against them, for a more liberal government, however

    Solove’s argumentative Appeal Daniel Solove writes in his article that the “nothing to hide” argument is a terrible argument, because privacy is important to everyone and everyone has something to hide. Solove writes that if you break the argument down to its core the argument means nothing. Solove addresses the argument for the “nothing to hide” belief by stating why some agree with the argument because the argument can be protection against acts of terror, then describing how the government knowing
