An instance of unorthodox or controversial thinking, considered as a criminal offense or as socially unacceptable. I think the people who are blowing stuff up are thought criminals, because there doing stuff that's bad. The opposite of a thought crime could be a good deed not coming from your thoughts. Or something that is acceptable. Winston has to stop the thought criminals. I think a similarity would be the violence, because we have a lot of it in the society we live in today.
In my own words, "thought crime" would be when you are breaking the rules of your mind by thinking of one or more topics that you are not allowed to think about. George Orwell in the trailer would be a thought criminal because there were some parts of the trailer that inferred subliminal messages that he committed thought crimes. The opposite of thought crime would be following the rules of thinking and thinking about things that you are allowed to think about. Winston, in the trailer works in an office watched by big brother, A.K.A, The Government. The movie is a prediction of the future referencing the country in the real world which is America, and in America, we are slowly being restricted from our rights.
I think thought crime is when you break a law or rule with your thoughts. In the trailer I think some people done bad things like terrorism and people were executed probably for thought crimes. I think the opposite of thought crimes is like doing good things with your thoughts and following the rules. Winston works for the government. The movie is about the future and a lot of war happening, our time its us just trying to resolve problems trying to stop wars that can happen in the future.
I think that crime is when you break the law or rules. In the trailer some people done bad things were executed. I think the opposite of crimes is when when you do good things and help people. The movie is about the future and war happening and how we are trying to stop war and problems in the future.
1. What, in your own words, is "thought crime"?I think that thought crime is, a person accused of thinking outside of the box or someone who isn't following the rules or actually thinking having ideas when they shouldn't be.
2. Who might be a "thought criminal" and why do you think this?
Winston might be a thought criminal, from looking at this trailer. Also, anyone who opposes the thought of the majority. Like the controlling organization.
3. What is the opposite, in your own words, of "thought crime"?
The opposite of a thought crime is probably following the rules and not thinking for yourself. Kind of the Fahrenheit 4s1. And the nazi camps.
4. What kind of job does Winston have?
To rewrite historical documents.
5. State one similarity between Winston's world and our own.
Sometimes and some places you aren't allowed to think on your own. There's a controlling power. Some people rebel, thats similar.
Explain why you think this aspect of life is similar.
I think that this aspect of one person not wanting to conform is similar because, it's a real life situation!
