Refelective Essay-first paragraph
I chose to read 1984 and in 1984 the author gives off many warnings about how the government can withhold individual freedoms and rights .The author gives off warnings by showing us that this book could be very much like our possible future. Who knows what the future holds for this world. Our world could turn into a world very similar to 1984. Some of the warnings are the telescreens , the 4 ministries, and the enemies ( Gold stein). I think the telescreens are a warning because Countries strive for power its what a lot of people want and we face power everyday. The power to tell people what to do , the power to control people, the power to just do whatever we feel like doing such as kill people. Powers an awful thing, it can make people go mad. The telescreens were all power because they watched and listened to what everyone was doing and saying. They had people on a leash and controlled you , they made people scared to ever try to cross the line of the parties judgement.This is a warning to our world too because people all have their own opinions and some aren't so good and can turn into awful controlling parties such as "Big Brother.The 4 ministries are a warning because they all are the total opposite of their names. The ministries of love is torture , the ministries of plenty is of starvation, the ministries of truth is of all lies and the ministries of peace is war. I think our world could maybe turnout to be similar to this because besides the good people who will practice and teach their good hearts to their offspring , all the people who like the party all think the same awful things.
