1984

was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off complete-ly.

Always running like tge overstimulating brainrot. Here, the government fully controls what is seen or heard

blue overalls which were the uniform of the party.

No individuality

sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything,

No uniqueness , no joy of life just sameness

posters that were plastered everywhere.

Contrast of the bleak world in the same propaganda bright posters, the only thing that attracts attention

in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.

No safety or privacy for your own thoughts or actions

even a back can be revealing.

Nothing is safe from observation and scrutiny

baulks

corrugated

sordid

bright-lit tableaux occurring against no background and mostly unintelligible.

Propaganda? Maybe a sort of young brain washing thriugh the screen. Something that happens today, kids are stuck to the screens with no interest or understanding of the outside world

three slogans of the Party: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Quick to remember and easy to see everywhere, especially if the text is on a towering building, looking brighter than any lived in house

ramifications

So completely did they dwarf the surrounding architec-ture that from the roof of Victory Mansions you could see all four of them simultaneously.

Similarly looking like the buildings themselves are always watching, the only info thats available is the only one that everyone can see from every point in the city

The Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war. The Ministry of Love, which maintained law and order. And the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs. Their names, in Newspeak: Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and Miniplenty.

Creating a new language so that the people are easier manipulated, they can't protest or remember something from the old world if they only remember the rules and language of the present (only the info that they are fed)

Ministry of Love,

Ironic how something that is supposed to represent love is the scariest place. Even with the brainwashing idea that that ministry is for love, it is shown as still the most terrifying ministry. Some things, like human instincts cant be erased.

truncheons.

world began to look more cheerful.

Victory gin, like the happy pill in We Happy Few, probably called a victory gin as it can make you feel good even in the most depressing situations, something to drink especially during the war

VICTORY

Or is it clled victory as a propaganda convincing ppl that they have won

Instead of being placed, as was normal, in the end wall, where it could command the whole room, it was in the longer wall, opposite the window. To one side of it there was a shallow alcove in which Winston was now sitting,

Why was it positioned this way?

least for-ty years past.

Old information? Without censorship, propaganda and influence of the government ?

desire to possess it.

As if something so beautiful shouldnt be out and about in this world, or was he scared that thought police would burn it if they saw it?

Even with nothing written in it, it was a compromising possession.

A diary might be even more dangerous to have, as it produces and shows free thinking and a privacy to create new thoughts and ideas

furtively

was usu-al to dictate everything into the speak-write

The dumber people become, easier they are to manipulate and control. Removing their ability and memory to write, dictating all of their communication, erases all privacy and subtle ways of communication

two.

A loss of time and inability to date something, makes the person more susceptive to manipulation, especially in a time of war or conflict

DOUBLETHINK.
