I think the Circle’s concept and use of TruYouevokes a wonder in the reader because the system’s operations almost seem too good to be true. The ability to have one password and login for everything would be extremely helpful for me personally. I immediately thought of credit card hacking, like the large scale Target controversy, when I read about the hacking that TruYou Sarah ChristopherUNIV 1150supposedly eliminated. This book has influenced my perspective in the way of caution. Very much like George Orwell’s 1984, this book makes question of government, identity, and privacy.
From Orwell’s novel, “1984”, it can be determined that his opinion on the most powerful means of control by the government would be the government’s use of fear to instill paranoia among the people. One powerful piece of corroboration for fear to paranoia would be Oceania’s obvious, and constant, use of technology to fulfill this goal. Take, for instance, the telescreens. Because of their existence in every buildings’ rooms and corners, they can be easily used to keep an eye on party members, and if need be, used to track their location and arrest them. Winston experiences the surveillance inflicted by the government during one of his daily workouts,as right when he stopped trying in order to ponder the conspiracies surrounding the party,
On December 16, 1773, after months of suppression of taxes, finally the people of boston, rebelled against the governing party. They had so much individualism that they were not used and they didn’t like the idea that the British were making them pay more for their tea so because of that, the people used their individuality to work together to rebel, just as Winston and Julia used their individuality to rebel against their governing party.

Together, they rebel against their governing power, the Party or Big Brother, but in the end, both Winston and Julia and end up getting caught.
George Orwell wrote 1984 back in the midst of World War II, which is alluded to multiple times in the book. He discussed what this world might turn into if we do not take action against the European leaders. The book depicts a over-controlling government, referred to as the Party, which is constantly spying on the citizens of the dystopian society called Oceania. One of the Outer-Party members named Winston Smith realizes the wrongdoings of the government and starts to rebel against them. Throughout the entirety of 1984, Winston can be seen as a hero by his defiance against the Party, his hatred toward the Party, and how he may have sparked a rebellion.
The word humanity refers to the human race as a whole and the qualities that make us human, such as the ability to love and have compassion. In our modern world, we take human nature for granted, but in George Orwell’s 1984, he shows us a society in which there is no humanity, and those that fight for it die trying. The totalitarian government, known as the Party, uses isolation, fear, and lies to destroy the humanity in their citizens and maintain absolute power over Oceania.
The activity of the behavior that comes from of two minutes hate in the book of 1984 written by George Orwell shows that the group work they did was a bit unsettling because they did not React as they thought they would on page 18 in the book Winston was given a feeling of being Optimistic because he cared about the reason of the people and the effects because his eye was set on something bigger like the outcome, the results. I think Winston gave a feeling of being negative towards Big Brother because of the living conditions he knew people would have to deal with and the way they would be treated in this place where everything would be limited to them making them feel lesser than others. Everyone was being watched and at the same time there
Joseph Goebbels once said,”Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their freewill”. This statement is proven to be true in 1984.

Orwell’s dystopian society showed the author 's message through what a character was saying and symbolism.
Imagine being followed everywhere by a government agent. They’re watching your every move, and they’ll report you if you even make a wrong facial movement.

Citizens are not individual, but rather an extension of the Party.
Applying D. E. Eichholz’s interpretation of Virgil’s Aeneid to George Orwell’s 1984 would be difficult in the sense that Virgil’s language seems to imply a more significant meaning. George Orwell’s style, throughout 1984, is a collection of manipulation and small amounts of very meaningful symbols. Eichholz argues that there are passages that present varieties of interpretations throughout The Aeneid. “War is Peace Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength” (Orwell, pg. 6). This slogan is the most popular reference from 1984 and acts as the most meaningful symbolism in the novel.
In Orwell’s novel, 1984, he illustrates the commotion going on during the Hate Week. Big Brother wired the minds of people from Oceania to control their thoughts.

In this writing, Orwell emphasizes how corrupted the government is in some scenes during the Hate Week. Orwell acknowledges Hate week as being very rowdy, with citizens shouting, kicking, or with pure uproar coming from them, all caused by the same hatred towards Eurasia.
Winston Whitworth, clad in in greens and browns as if to melt into the flora that surrounds his rather quaint little cottage, that sits upon a hill bordering a sprawling forest and an ominous marsh blanketed in a blinding fog. He sits in his timeworn armchair, smoking his pipe as a fire roars in the hearth in an effort to battle against the cold that dominates the surrounding area. He is broken from his reverie by a muffled thumping outside his door, a brief glance revealing a young man in a range of dark greys and greyish blues, his face shrouded by the shadows of his hood. With a grunt Winston trundles over to the door, and opens it, greeting the man before him.
In the dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell (pseudonym of Eric Blair), the main character is a man named Winston Smith, a frail thirty-nine year old. In this society, privacy is completely unheard of. Even thinking rebellious thoughts is illegal, called thoughtcrime. The ruling Party is redesigning English, and calling it Newspeak.

Totalitarianism in 1984 and the Real World The concept of a totalitarian society is a major theme throughout the novel 1984. This theme of totalitarianism can also be applied to the world today. The definition of totalitarianism, a concept used by some political scientists, is a state which holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible. Totalitarianism can be related between the novel 1984 and current events in the real world.

Fear is a psychological and physiological response to distressing or dangerous circumstances. Fears are often rational – the fear of death, for example, or of harm to oneself of those one cares about. Some fears are more irrational, such as phobias of certain animals or things not causing immediate danger. In any case, fear is a powerful response and causes someone to be weaker and more submissive. 1984 by George Orwell illustrates how fear, a natural human experience, can be used as a means for a person’s submission to authority, In the novel, Winston Smith, the protagonist, is a working-class citizen in a futuristic, dystopian London.
In George Orwell’s novel 1984, A theme of violation of human rights is thoroughly present, from violation of privacy, violation of the freedom of speech and religion, and the loss of humanity in general from the ever present form of Big Brother. As the villain of the novel, Big Brother- who represents the government -has absolute control over the citizens’ lives. While 1984 effectively conveys the dangers of a totalitarian government, Orwell’s predicted society is not present in today’s world. Comparatively speaking, the United States of America has more rights and freedoms than Orwell’s Oceania, but in some cases the rights of the citizens must be violated for safety reasons and other justifiable causes. Orwell’s novel 1984 paints a picture
