The Comparison of 1984 vs. Now
By: Cody Tate The story is told by a man with the name of Winston Churchill. He is part of a ruling party in London, which is in the nation of Oceania. Winston lives in a society where everything he does he is watched by the party. It’s like they stalk him watching him through telescreens at his home or even on the street. He is always being watched by what by a leader he sees and others see as Big Brother. In his this world the government controls every aspect of his life as well as others. They control both the language and history of the people who live in Oceania. No one can do anything unless the government agrees to let them to. It is looked at as a crime to even plot to go against the government. Anyone who looks suspicious of looking to overthrow the government they get the leisure of going to prison for years. Its looked at as murdering someone in today’s society. The so called Party is even trying to force a language upon the people called Newspeak. This tries to prevent political rebellion by eliminating all words related to it. In the book Winston lost the girl he loved, Julia. He tried to fight the government and make a change in the society but in the end he was brain-washed. He was turned into pretty much a walking zombie doing exactly what they asked. He was put in jail called the Ministry of Love. This was due to the help of his so called friend, O’Brien, who was a part of the Big Brother Party. While being in jail he is tortured by his worse fear which is happens to be rats. This happens to be one of the points that is related to the book and our government now: torture.

Winston’s torture consisted of a person asking him numerous questions. He would choose to answer them of go through a series of electric shocks going through
