In 1984 you couldn't even have privacy in your own home, you would be under constant supervision and if you were caught doing something illegal the thought police would come and arrest you.

The main character, Winston, sees the problems and lies the government has and with his determination to stop Big Brother, the government will see him as a threat and will set out and destroy what makes him human. The Orwell wrote the book in 1948 and it was published in 1949 and wanted to warn us on how much power we should give to our government. In 2017 people are seeing a connection with today and 1984 with Doublethink. People are fearing that because with a power that can destroy free thinking will make Orwell's dystonia into a reality. With doublethink it provides parties the power to influence their agenda and beliefs to people and makes it difficult for them to freely think for themselves.
The novel, 1984, is an interesting book to read as it shows how the party manipulates the people of Oceania through the use of doublethink and newspeak, and how the party is controlling their minds. The novel also shows the journey of the main character, Winston, and his opposing opinions and struggles against the party. 1984 is an interesting novel to read because it shows how the party controls its citizens in the novel. For example, the Party uses this type of manipulation called doublethink. Doublethink is just when the Party changes any information he doesn’t like, so that it is in the form that he sees as correct.
In 1984 this represents rebellion as how Winston rebels against Big Brother and what Big Brothers believes ends, and how Winston fails to trust, fails to resist Big Brother, has a central conflict with the government, and how in 1984 there is no documentation of the people when they are vaporized .In 1984, George Orwell envisioned a bleak future state that banishes personal loyalties and manipulates memories of the people in Oceania into what Big Brother believes in.

This novel’s plot is similar to today because we are all puppets of the government even if we don’t realize it. The government controls what we are allowed to see, hear, and say, this is all censorship. Such as big events being kept secret, they say it’s for our safety but is it really? In Fahrenheit 451 they imply that they are doing this to keep the people happy and safe but, all this is doing is keeping valuable knowledge from the people and they are just puppets in society’s
The book 1984 by George Orwell
1984 introduces television-like devices to readers that not only provide an unending source of propaganda for Oceana, but have the special ability to keep track of what the country’s citizens are saying and doing at any time of day. The Thought Police can access the information at any time they wish to root out anyone who might be displaying any signs of rebellion, no matter what they might be. Winston spends the entirety of the book existing in constant terror of showing any inkling that he might not be totally okay with the beliefs of Big Brother and all that he stood for. In the modern United States of America, it is nearly impossible to go through an average day without showing oneself to some form of camera be it one used for security,
In the novel 1984, George Orwell applies the three steps of reintegration to the readers understanding, while comparing his philosophical worldview to Winston and Julia’s. Orwells ultimate message to the readers is to understand the dangers of totalitarianism, and how the government has complete control over its citizens. Totalitarianism is a political concept where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible. This concept is shown throughout 1984, when the inner party is constantly controlling and watching over its citizens as well as limiting them from things such as privacy, sexual activity, and family interaction. The citizens receive lack of privacy
I believe the book 1984 is not just some fiction novel to read and throw away. It's almost like George Orwell wrote a warning for everyone, through Winston the main character of the story, to reveal that the government could gain too much control and treat us like this, and that we should always be fighting for our freedom and rights, and making sure we all have a voice in this world. Secondly, 1984 manipulates truth and reality, this is shown in many ways, such as, the government changes the truths just to make their lies look more realistic for the world, this reminds us that we shouldn't believe everything we see even with proof that can be stolen, and to not believe everything we must listen to, because of someone called government. Winston is also very much like us, he wants to live in his own ways and love who he wants, with peace. Reading about his struggles, how he is never able to do what he wants freely, helps us understand the importance of standing up for our rights.

1984 has seemed to catch the eye of many people of different kinds. Some believe this novel does relate to our real world today and others can disagree. Certain things that are occurring today do get me to believe that we are living the same way. Not only do I believe it because of cameras and technology but because the government hides so much stuff from our society as of right now.
