Winston is realizing that his life is so much easier if he just accepts the society he is in, as opposed to being rebellious and going through the hard work or rebelling. After all, he was put in Room 101 all because of his crimes that could have been evaded if he just listened to the party. This reminds me a lot of our current political climate. Most specifically the 2016 Presidential election. Hillary Clinton lost a lot of votes due to the scandals, her votes went to Trump or third party candidates. Now all the people who voted for third party candidates regret wasting their vote. They wanted so bad to rebel against Hillary that they gave their vote to a third party like the Green Party.
Really nice response to such a short quote. I really like how you related it to current events. I do agree with you about how everything could've been avoided with the simple action of not doing nothing, but I also believe that when you are put in a place like Oceania its bad to let your life be control in such way. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you related a quotes from the book to real life events that are currently happening. I though that our explanation of the quote was very well said, considering how it was a very short quote.
