1984 is a novel by George Orwell that broadcasted Orwell’s distaste for the direction society was going in. The society Orwell wrote about is in complete submission to the overbearing government, and does not mind. The main character, Winston, does not mindlessly agree with the government, as it seems everyone else does. This alienation is important to the moral of the novel because it shows that societies are easily manipulated, its easy for governments to become too powerful once they have control

Imagine a world where there is no freedom of speech or even thoughts. A world where all basic Constitutional rights are taken away. George Orwell, in his novel 1984, accurately depicts a destitute totalitarian society ruled by a figurehead named Big Brother.

The contrast between environmentalists and their critics is stark; often leaving the two parties at a standstill as they refuse to cooperate and jump to conclusions. This is precisely what Wilson had been attempting to portray in a work featured in his book, “The Future of Life”. The way he illustrates this, especially through the use of satire in these passages is, to a certain degree, subtle. Despite this, there are most definitely still strategies to be picked out that help aid in his message

The Great Philosopher Voltaire once said, “It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.” This is a question that Joseph Heller (author of Novel Catch-22) must have asked himself once or twice. Catch-22 is laced with many themes that encourage the read to think in abstract manner, but one of the biggest ones is the incompetence of the government and how getting in their way can be bad for one’s health. Many Characters die throughout this book, in fact in retrospect the novel is a lot

Those who have the opinion of not teaching this book and banning it from everywhere have their own position from where they come from. Either huck represents something the world does not want to know or there have been many cooperative censors in the schools and libraries who find it easier to go along or who have not read the story and therefore cannot defend it. It was Twain himself who perhaps prophetically, said a classic is something everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read. To

Farenheit 451 and 1984 are both novels set in a dystopian society that share many commonalities, but the theme that stood out the most are the parallels and differences in the relationships between the protagonists and the people they are seemingly forced to associate with in their communities. Both Bradbury and Orwell warn against the danger of a society’s dependence on technology and a totalitarian government. An illustration of how this affects both of the main characters is in the lack of intimacy
