A Letter From Trevor Gold.

My name is Trevor Gold and I am writing in this because I want to make a difference to this society. I am aware that I could be severely punished for the crime that I am committing and shall commit further, but everything is black, dark. Smoke fills the air everywhere making it hard to see. Our world has been corrupted. Penalties for crime is death, technology has turned humans into robots and left civilians absent minded, but the worst of all are the government. They control everything and everyone around us. From the day I was born until I was at the age of five just like all the other new borns, they took us away to put us under their supervision, we were trained and forced to have no emotion and to behave in a well mannered form.
Love, fear, hate or anger. I had no idea what these meant until a few months ago.

Julia was a girl whom I grew up with, we were born at the same time, lived in the same governmental section and had almost everything in common, Julia was my best friend, I think that is what they are called, as I said I only just discovered that these feeling existed. She had long brown hair, big blue eyes and the palest skin.

Last month on our way to school at our scheduled time we came across an object, some form of technology, there were two people talking to us, I think they mentioned it being called so called illegal propaganda broadcasts on an illegal shortwave or satellite radio, it wasn't from around here because it was difficult to understand what they were saying.
They talked about things that I have never dared to speak of, freedom, love. I have heard of these words before but never fully understood what they meant.

Two weeks flashed by, my days went as normal as I followed my planned schedule and time plan. I couldn’t take my mind off of the things I have heard and now know. I knew that I wasn’t supposed to know the things that I do, and if anyone ever found out I would be penalized with death.

    Julia became victim to the harsh reality of being an immigrant. She faced prejudice due to the color or her skin and culture. Julia became very introverted and closed off. Soon, she began to find comfort in books. Which was rare, considering that she avoided her schoolwork and considering that reading was not allowed in her country. But once she started reading in her local library, she found a spark that ignited her passion for writing.…

    Allow yourself to paint a colorful daydream in your mind in which the government controls every aspect of your life. Those colors that you’re seeing are probably various shades of grey and dark blue; it’s the perfect rainy palette an artist would use to describe a very sad image. No one has the right to tell others how they should live and certainly no one has the right to regulate if you’re actually doing as they’ve told you. But this is exactly what was predicted to be in the future by George Orwell in the well-known classic novel 1984. His book described a sordid futuristic world in which every aspect of life is being monitored by the supremacy of The Party, regulating its citizens of everything from sexual partners to the things they are allowed to think. In fact, the main character Winston Smith, is actually arrested for thought-crime. Fortunately, however, this totalitarian tale was set in the bleak, fictional streets of London, Oceania; the United States has quite a stable constitution in place to protect and prevent any aggressive attack from government to manage its people in the way that those leading Orwell’s dystopia had.…

    Researchers have found that suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender youth (LGBT) is comparatively higher than among the general population. According to some groups, this is linked to heterocentric cultures and institutionalised homophobia in some cases, including the use of LGBT people as a political wedge issue like in the contemporary efforts to halt legalising same-sex marriages[citation needed]. Depression and drug use among LGBT people have both been shown to increase significantly after new laws that discriminate against gay people are passed.[1]…

    So I did and I followed my plan as accordingly, but it made a complete left. Other than the unbearable pain I was feeling physically, the pain that I felt emotionally overpowered that and I just felt numb. I looked at my reflection in the stained mirrored and I couldn’t see myself, it was like the young 15-year-old lady that my family has raised to love had been gone. I closed my eyes because I couldn’t dare to look at the stranger that I’ve become. When I opened them I was laid on the bathroom floor, my head was kept elevated by the school nurse, I saw a young girl with a frighten confused face, and I saw men walking around talking into walkie-talkies screaming “Code Blue! Code Blue!” Once they noticed I was awake I was bombarded with questions back to back. My mind was blank, nothing…

    During the mass mobilization of consciousness raising in the late 1960’s, the fight for democracy roared the elites to manifest into power through a global project which not only implemented policies to sustain global capitalism, but advocated for various systems that work to control society, as well as the future reality of certain communities. According to research done by the Department of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, “Throughout American history, politicians and public officials have exploited public anxieties about crime and disorder for political gain” (Gottschalk). This includes the war on drugs and war on terrorism, which has sustained a movement of mass criminalization, in the name of public safety. However this safety has been a way to suppress those trying to challenge the status quo and reveal the true underlying which sparked the rise of mass incarceration.…

    Fear: the mere sight of the word makes some of us cringe. It is a feeling we have all dealt with at one time or another. Fear is the quintessential human emotion. Some people live lives devoid of joy, happiness, and pleasure, but no one escapes the experience of fear and fear’s companion, pain. We are born in fear and pain. Our lives are profoundly shaped by them, as well as our efforts to avoid them.” It is something that we first experience as children, and are conditioned to respond to in many different ways. Some of us live in constant fear; of accidents, of bad people doing us harm, or of physical ailments. Others simply take things as they come in life, whether they are good or bad things. In the dictionary, fear is defined as: "a feeling of agitation or anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.  That is a rather ominous definition. Fear can also refer to general anxiety, as in "fear of speaking in public  or "fear of open areas . These fears arise not necessarily from a present or imminent threat, but rather a perceived threat, which to some can be just as scary. For most people fear is an unpleasant feeling and it is…

    I could not betray my friend, he would hate me forever if I did. I knew that he betrayed me as well but knowing Winston ,he must have had a reason to not tell me the truth. The moment when I went up to my teacher's desk I panicked , I could not be known as the class snitch . I was standing at Mrs.Brook’s desk startled and confused. “Alison, do you need something” , she asked me three times until I finally responded to her. I took a deep breath and quickly excalimed that it was me who cheated on the test, She didn’t seem too surprised ,she gave me an F on the test and detention for the rest of the month. My parents also grounded me “until I’m 30”.

    Love and hate are very strong emotions and truly affect a person’s behavior and how they feel about themselves. It is often said that one glows when in love and cries or becomes angry when feeling hate. Both of those side-effects come from feeling the two emotions, love and hate. The side-effects of each might be different, but in the end it is still a great similarity that both the positive emotion of love and the negative emotion of hate end up affecting people in a physical…
