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...
