Essay / Big Brother is Watching You By George Orwell - 2227
Hi, my name is Andy and I'm about to tell you a story that no one knew. This story tells the life of a man and the society of his time. The story begins with the narration of a man going to his room at Victorious Mansion. This guy's name is Winston, he's about 39 years old and he has a varicose ulcer above his right ankle. Inside the mansion there was a huge color poster showing a man who appears to be 45 years old and under the portrait it said "Big Brother is Watching You". Winston entered his room and there was an instrument called a telescreen that could not be closed or muted. Winston stood in front of the window and looked at the poster that said INGSOC. There was also a helicopter that flew between buildings and monitored people's behavior. However, this wasn't a big problem for Winston, the real problem was the thought police. The telescreen behind him was still talking about the ninth three-year plan. This instrument could receive and transmit at the same time, and also capture every little sound Winston made. Not only him, but everyone was being monitored by this telescreen. This was where he lived, the capital of Aristrip One, London and the third most populous city in Oceania. He began to question him about the state of this place in the 19th century and tried to remember his youth, but he couldn't. Then he looked at the Ministry of Truth, the Minitrue in Newspeak. This gigantic building was shaped like a pyramid and three party slogans were written on its white concrete wall. “WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.” » The Minitrue was known for its enormous capacity of 3,000 parts on the ground and 3,000 parts underground. Where Winston lived was the houses of four governments...... middle of paper ...... and asked him the last question: how he thinks of Big Brother. Winston said "I hate him." and he was put in room 101. Winston was put in the wire box and O'Brien gave him a choice if he wanted to save Julia or himself. Winston shouted Julia's name and ran away. Winston was at the Chestnut Tree Café when no one was there. He remembered his meeting with Julia. They tried to ignore each other but met and shared the words that they were betraying each other. He tried to go with her but she had disappeared into the crowd. He suddenly heard the song about betrayal that three leaders of the early rebels heard before they died. The telescreen spoke of victory in Africa and his hope of losing faded. He then fully surrendered, his mind and body all surrendered and the bullet passed through his head. Winston and his battle ended.
