The “Nothing-to-Hide Argument” Analyzed: In this rhetorical analysis, I will be taking a look at Daniel J.

Not only does the Party have telescreens to monitor residents, but they also have helicopters that “skimmed down between the roofs… It was the police patrol, snooping into people’s windows” (4). Oceania is accustomed to living in a constant state of surveillance through technology and the patrol by the government.
