Chapter 5-6

Ch 5-6
1)  Who has vanished?
Syme because he is a genius 
2)  Describe the preparations for Hate Week?  In what ways does the Inner Party excel in building spirit?
They decorate the town with banners and posters, more people work so it can get done, soldier models are put up, the party drops more bombs on themselves. 
3) Julia and Winston have some differences?  Explain them.
Julie is young and only cares about things that affect her, Winston wants a country wide revolution, Winston is scared to death of rats, Julia can handle them. 
4) What finally convinces Winston that O'Brien is a member of the Brotherhood? 
O'Brien asks Winston if he wants to read the 11th newspeak dictionary, Winston thinks this is a cover to talk about the Brotherhood or revolution 
5) Begin to outline a comparison between 1984 and A BRAVE NEW WORLD by either themes, characters, slogans or symbols.  On Friday, you will have an in-class essay assignment on this comparison.  It'll be worth 50 points.
Slogans, 
History is bunk 
He who controls the past now controls the future he who controls the past now controls the present. 
Theme's there both in control, through victory gin and soma, and also technology   
Bernard Marx and Winston

  1. Jake - good ideas here: history, drugs and technology. Make sure you can give detailed examples of each from both books.
