Week 21:

1984 by George Orwell

How does the Party manipulate human emotions? 1984

George Orwell, in Part 2, shows us the start of the secret relationship between Winston and Julia. These are universal deceptions of appearances- the girl is not who she had seemed to be; Winston assumed her to be a devoted Party member and a spy. Why is she so important to him?

This week please keep pace with the readings and the in-class discussions. Your insight to those discussions and the timed writings will determine your success...do not be parasitic in the classroom...you owe it to your peers to contribute...take a RISK!

Have a great week and remember, be empathetic to each other and work diligently...I always notice!! Smile, too!

READING SCHEDULE FOR 1984 and OTHER DATES:

Part 3: CH I-ll (225-260) for Mon., Feb 5.
Part 3: CH 3 (260-274) for Wed, Feb 7
Finish the book (274-297) for Fri., Feb 9

Hi Mr. DiLeo! Checked the blog...ok now down to business (lol) ok, what is with Winston and how he believes so easily on things without concrete evidnce? Is it just me? Ok, now I know that is just a human thing to do things like that...and we all get caught up in our emotions and sometimes see things that arent really there. BUT, when it comes to O'Brien shouldnt Winston wait alittle bit longer before he gives it all away to O'Brien with Julia? And then all the caution is thrown to the wind and he gives away the hiding place? Why not just go straight to the thought police? Is it a big old coincidence that after he gives the hiding place and says all that stuff, that they get caught? I dont know, it just doesnt seem like its smart to just act so rashly but maybe thats just my hindsight or me "looking in" from the outside.
Anyway, ok Mr. DiLeo. have a good rest of day...
