1984

1984 really makes you think about life and the technology and power that comes with it. I never really thought about how a thought can't be real if you don't have the words to express it. That's how big brother controls Oceania and shows his power. It makes me think , what if something like that happened here in the United States ? The world would go chaotic because citizens are so used to their freedom and power with themselves that if it were taken away , no one would be prepared for it. Like in the Socratic Seminar , everyone got really defensive and passionate about this subject. I believe citizens would rebel against every power that would try to contain them. 1984 has showed us what the world could be like and how we can avoid that kind of control.
