1984

     In the novel 1984, George Orwell demonstrates that power is obtained through
control, just like some aspects of today in society.  Control is a powerful tool when it is
used by the government.  Orwell in his novel explains the governments control over
humans in an exaggerated sense, but in many aspects it is correct.  He shows how people
of many groups get brain-washed by the government so people only know what they need
to know.  Fed with mixed up facts so people can not figure out what is really going on.  In
the novel 1984, Orwell said “...Power is power over human beings (pg.218).”  In this paper

more dominant party of different beliefs.  Orwell’s new that power is everything in the way
that society is ran.  As you can see 1984, is not far from reality in many ways.  It’s main
plot is control is power.

     The setting of 1984, took place in a very dreadful, grey Oceania, which is kind of
like England today.  Oceania has a party that controls the way they live, eat, work, and
sleep.  As time goes on and they start to control more people they are just going to get
more powerful.  People had to live in dumps and walk the street of war zones.  If you did
something wrong the party would know.  Orwell’s setting was very effective in showing
