Bye Crotona Academy

Quick Write: My exit project will be a political cartoon based on Big Brother of 1984. I have grown academically because I have learned new terms/vocabulary word. Also improved my writing in many ways. I will demonstrate this by showing what I learned this semester by including the novel and mindsets to my project.

1984

Quick Write: If I were one of the characters of 1984, such as Winston or Julia, I would join the "Brotherhood." Even though some actions of the "Brotherhood" sound terrible, it would be necessary to take down the Party/Big Brother. Brotherhood is the only sign of possibly rebelling against all the rules and regulations of this society.

1984

Quick Write: I don't think I have the power to change society because not everyone has the same beliefs as I do. I wish I could change society and how people think of each other. Such as changing views of having different religions or having a different skin color.

1984

Quick Write: In 1984, the meaning of words are opposite than what they should be. Doublethink, Ministry of Truth, Big Brother are words that have opposite definitions. The society in 1984 want to sugar coat things for people so they use these words and get rid of the other words.

Quick Write: In the book, I predict Julia and Winston's relationship will become stronger and they will actually have feelings for each other. I believe this because they want to keep seeing each other. 

Quick Write: In 1984, I connect more to both, Julia and Winston. I can connect to how Julia feels about Big Brother and how she wants to rebel. Also I understand why Julia and Winston would want to keep seeing each other after all the time they have been alone. In my opinion Winston just feels lonely and is tired of going by the rules of big brother therefore he wants be in a relationship with Julia. 

Final Reflection: Julia and Winston's mindsets of the Party is both want to rebel. However Julia is wants to go rebel without knowing the consequences and Winston is terrified of the Party. In page 155, Julia says, "I'm quite ready to take risks, but only for something worth while, not got bits of old newspaper." Julia is young and wants to take action. She wants to rebel but she the only thing she knows how to rebel by is by having sex. Winston believes he can't change anything in his lifetime because he is old and is too afraid of the Party to take any actions.

1984

Quick Write: I do think love changes people. Everyone who "falls in love" or loves someone gets hurt which is changes them. Love is something that takes control over your actions and thoughts.

1984

Quick Write: I believe the society in 1984 can happen in today's society. The government has more control over us than we think. Also many things are going on inside the government which the people aren't told about.

1984

Quick Write: So far from what I have read in 1984, I don't understand why anyone would want to be apart of the Party. The proles have a bit of freedom since the Party doesn't care about them. The Party has rules, restrictions, and screens that the people of the Party have to follow. I also believe the Party has chosen who is in the Party and who are proles so they can't change it.

Final Reflection: I believe the future of the society in 1984 depends on the proles. Proles aren't in such a restrictions of the Party as the upperclass are which makes it easier for the proles to rebel.
