sorry everyone....
alright guys im sorry for losing you all points... after finding out how much everyone suffers it made me feel even more guilty. when i heard i could make up SOME of the points, i went right to doing that. i ran into some difficulties with the posting, but i hope it worked this time. i will do my best from now on to keep on track with everything, and i hope our newspaper article will come out great. again im really sorry everyone...
Blog 3.
What I want to know is:1. What was the climax of the story? Some of you have already talked about this in class, but I want each group to come to a consensus.2. What was the social commentary?3. Why did you like/dislike the novel? Don't just say "I thought the story was good"... I want some opinion and thought, here! Also, I don't want you to write "it sucked" without backing up your opinion with some good, critical comments. Think of a movie review. Those reviewers never just say "it sucked"... they give evidence and details.And... it's okay to dislike your book!
1. i felt that the climax of the story was when Julia and Winston get caught by the Police.
2. the social historical part of this was the way the government was run. as emily said, it was a totalitarian government. everything was run by the government and you had no choice what so ever.
3. i did not really like this book possibly because i couldnt enjoy it.. i felt as if i was rushed in a way and didnt manage my time well (saying its my fault). im sure if i took the time to read and comprehend the story, i would enjoy it.

Blog 2. Sorry So Late!!
1984
"I first read 1984 in 1984, and my teachers loved to compare Orwell’s vision to our mid-eighties reality. Unlike Winston Smith’s world, our economy was booming, and the U.S. seemed destined to keep expanding its power and economic force. (That, and break dancing was HUGE.)QUESTIONS:Does the emerging social commentary in 1984 resemble anything in history?What was going on in the world when Orwell wrote 1984?What elements of Big Brother do you see in the U.S. today?(two members per question)"
the elements of "Big Brother" i see today is that everyone seems to have a similar life. everyone goes to work/school in the morning, goes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep. its as if your on a script. no matter what you do, someone is always going to know what you did. there is no escaping that. thats just how i feel. sorry this post is so late... but im trying my best to upkeep my part in the group and trying to not lose the points for the other group memebers... sorry guys...
