In the fiction novel 1984, George Orwell, English novelist, wrote about a totalitarian society who must live under the ruling of a powerful figure known as Big Brother. In the novel Orwell uses foreshadowing and symbolism to create conflict.

He rents the room from Mr. Charrington, a member of the thought police but Winston believed he was a porle. Mr. Charrington introduces Winston to a rhyme but can't remember the entire thing.
He was dead. I ran away. ‘Running away ain 't your style, Winston. ' Is what I thought, but I couldn 't handle it. I, for the first time, was scared.
Connection to Churchill? Does Winston Smith’s name have any relation to that of Winston Churchill? Winston Churchill fought against the will of Adolf Hitler, providing hope to the people of Great Britain. Is Smith’s very common last name [very simple, no individuality/uniqueness] used to symbolize how though he is so ordinary, he is also entirely different because of his hatred towards the Party and Big Brother? It is also somewhat suggested by the author that Winston was born around the end of World War II; this being a time when Winston Churchill was considered the savior of Great Britain.
Serena Le Mr. Givens English IIH(2) 2 March 2023 1984 Culminating Project 1984 is a political novel written by George Orwell. In this dystopian society, the citizens are surveyed under a government that watches their every move. The Party's control over the past, plays a large role in controlling others.
George Orwell's novel, 1984, is an example of a haunting depiction of a dystopian society ruled by a totalitarian government. Through this book, Orwell issues a warning against the dangerous consequences of totalitarianism, and the misuse of power. To heighten the sense of impending doom, the author uses foreshadowing throughout the novel, hinting at Winston's frightful fate and the dangers of living under the party. By using this literary device, Orwell emphasizes the importance of personal freedom and the dire consequences of allowing an all-powerful government to have unlimited power. Foreshadowing is a powerful literary device that authors use to give readers a sneak peek into what might happen later in the story.
Even though the ending to George Orwell’s book, 1984, was a tragic one, it confirmed my belief in standing up for what you believe in. This book has many controversies on whether Winston Smith would have been better off not rebelling against the party surrounding it. I believe that what Winston did was a testament to his bravery, but also I feel that in the end it wouldn’t have mattered if he rebelled or not. He would have been caught whether or not he rebelled because the Party had been following him for the past seven years. They’ve known that Winston has been against The Party for a very long time now.
The stooped figure of Winston Evans shuffled into Voce's office, appearing uncomfortably conscious of being in the strangeness of an alien environment. Displaying the timorous behavior of a broken man, his eyes shifted furtively from one detective to the next. which made it difficult not to pity him. The marks of countless losses were etched deeply into his wizened face, a feature often visible in life’s perennial losers.

In a backwards society, language is one of the few things that does not get its own freedom. George Orwell created a backwards society of his own in his book 1984. The society he created was a dystopia, which is an imaginary society that forces the people in it into a very miserable and oppressed way of living. Throughout the book we see that a major source of this oppression was the restriction on langage. This supports Orwell claims that language is what allows us freedom.
At last he rapped his arms around me and cried until his tears ran out, until he couldn’t gulp enough oxygen in his lungs without coughing it back up. “You aren’t real, your dead, your brother. Your sister, your mom and dad, even your uncle.” Dropping my I head I let a single tear escape, how could my whole family be dead, they were all that I had all I could have in the future.
The human population are mind washed people in some ways, and even though sometimes it seems like we are proles, we are not completely. In George Orwell’s 1984, there are three groups in society: The inner party, the outer party, and the proles. Proles are Party rejects, that are granted freedom because they are too stupid to rebel. Like proles, regular humans work, and are kept happy by football, lotteries, and pornography. In Joe Bageant’s, “Escape From the Zombie Food Court”, he writes, “The fact is, you will seldom if ever make any significant material or lifestyle choices of your own in your entire life.
In the united states today the government has so much power than what people may think. They have control over innocent citizens. The kind of power the government has over us has gotten to a limit where now they know where we are at and all of our private information safe on our cell phones.

In the novel they tell us about the government from Oceania, and how they control every single second of the citizens’ lives.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Although Martin Luther King was a freedom fighter, what set him apart was his propensity to create adages that are both thought-provoking and poetic. This quote epitomizes his ability to do just that by laying a solid premise in favour of nonviolent protests against oppressive regimes.
