**ELEMENT ANALYSIS:** For my element analysis is choose the symbol of the telescreen. The telescreen symbolizes the lack of privacy in Oceania vs the presence of control and the citizens subconscious acceptance of it. The telescreen is everywhere. It provides a window for the government to see into the homes and rooms of its citizens causing no privacy at all. The citizens know this yet they embrace it in their everyday lifestyle for there is nothing they can do about it. They accept the control of Big Brother. Its almost as if the government is constantly gathering information from its citizens. This reminds me some what of an extremely upgraded version of a census. The gathering of information from each house hold in the country.



__**IMPORTANT QUOTE **__ An individual's religious views are usually instilled by the person who raised them. For example, a Catholic becomes Catholic for they were raised Catholic and the same goes for every other religion. But what intrigues me (and wasbrought to my attention once again by this quote) is does a follower truly join that religion for the reason of TRUE understanding or because that is all they know. Does someone of a certain religious background truly know what they are doing when they sit down and pray before dinner, before bed, or even before their presumed death. Or is it the fact that they begin praying out of habit from the way they were brought up or even unconsciously because they think it is what's right.

**ELEMENT ANALYSIS:**In section 7, Winston goes on a thinking rampage about how the past "not only changed, but changed continuously." (pg. 79). This goes to show that no matter what happens, the Party can erase it. But the problem is, the erasing of one tiny event can change everything else after that incident as a whole. So the question is, can one or even a group of people synthetical mess with the space time continuum. This caused me to think about the movie __The Butterfly Effect__.This movie (starring the beautiful Ashton Kutcher) is about a man who begins to realize all thehorrible things that happened in his life that he somehow subconsciously erased form his memory. But yet when he remembers these events he somehow is magically able to go back and fix everything that went wrong in each event which in turn changes his future completely each time he attempts to change his past. A connection to Winston's job in the Records Department and his thoughts on changing the past can easily be made. Every time Winston changes the past at work he in turn changes Oceania's present and future.

** __IMPORTANT QUOTE__ ** **"All children are swine." pg. 164**   Push. Push. Push. Breathe. Breathe. The pain begins. Giving life without marriage; A complete sin. Love and cherish them through it all Pick them up when they fall. Babies are born. Habits are made. Think of their mistakes at the end of the day. Put in work. Sacrifice your time. Mothers start to believe "All children are swine". They know no better but who is to blame. Giving life without marriage; A complete shame.
