__﻿ __ January 17, 2011 //Element Anaylsis:// //Big Brother//



While reading the novel 1984 the symbolism of "Big brother" made me think about F.Scott-Fiszgerald's novel the Great Gatsby. Inside F.Scotts novel the eyes of doctor T.J Eckleburg on the bill board represents "God' staring down at America's society. In the novel 1984 the "Big brother" is a similar symbolism to the eyes of doctor T.J Eckleburg. "Big brother" inside the novel 1984 represents a higher power "God". "Big brother" supposely watches everyone. Even though no one has ever seen him before, each citizen worships him.

January 17, 2011 //Important quote:// //"We shall meet in a place where there is no darkness"//



The theme of this quote is that in the future all problems will be resolved. Martin Luther King's famous speech "I have a dream  that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character " is similar to Winston's quote "We shall meet in a place where there is no darkness" because he is talking about how the future will be better. This quote is ironic because in order for Winston to meet O'brien it would have to be a secret, therefore meeting in the dark would be the best thing to do. I guess George Orwell is trying to foreshadow that when Winston and O'brien do finally meet they're not going to have to keep it a secret because everything about their society would have been brought to the light.

One day we will be untouchable The party will be demolishable Living will be bearable Life as we know it will be unexceptionable

Element Analysis: Diary

George Orwell uses the diary to create a hopeful mood towards what happening in the novel. The diary brings hope upon the reader that maybe one day Winston will take action. The diary reminds me of the declaration of independence because it was wrote to give people hope that one day they would be free from the British. Winston is just like rebels because he's risking his life by writing in the diary and the rebels risked their lives by signing the declaration of independence.

I can see the future Where no one would pretend to be pure Everyone would be as different as culture Freedom would be allowed; yes even pleasure



January 24, 2011 Element Anaylsis "Ministry of love"



George Orwell uses the element "Ministry of Love" to create the theme that whats done in the dark will soon be seen in the light. Hint "We shall meet in a place where there is no darkness". The Ministry of love reminds be of the novel "No exit" by Jean-Paul Sartre because in the novel the people are sent to hell. During there time in hell each of them torture one other and the lights never go out. The fact that the lights never go out reminds me of the "Ministry of Love" because the lights also never go out.

January 25, 2011 IQ: "No! Not merely to extract your confession, nor to punish you. Shall I tell you why we have brought you here? To cure you! To make you sane! Will you understand, Winston, that no one whom we bring to this place ever leaves our hands uncured?....."



You are a flaw in the pattern We must cure you You are our top concern We must torture you until you turn blew

January 26, 2011 IQ:"It is impossible to found a civilization on fear and hatred and cruelty. It would never endure."



Where there is fear power is developed Power is nothing without fear Fear can be overcome by power Power is nothing without fear

January 27, 2011 Element Analysis: Chestnut Tree

George Orwell uses the element Chestnut tree to create a solemn tone because it establishes that Julia and Wilson are completely different from the way they used to be. The Chestnut tree reminds be of the hanging tree inside the novel MockingJay because at the hanging tree the man was trying to convince his love to give up her sole to be with him and be free; which is similar the the chestnut tree that George Orwell implements because they both sold their soles to be free.



> Are you, are you Coming to the tree Where they strung up a man they say murdered three. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be  If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. > Are you, are you Coming to the tree Where the dead man called out for his love to flee. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be  If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. > Are you, are you Coming to the tree Where I told you to run so we’d both be free. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be  If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. > Are you, are you Coming to the tree Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be  If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. -Suzanne Collins
