in george orwell's 1984, how does winston feel about julia, and why?
92560
it's been awhile since i've read it, but i believe he loves julia.  they go for clandestine meetings out in a field, but for some reason they can't let on that they care for each other.  i know he ends up getting caught, and he ends up betraying her, but again, i can't remember the why. i'll have to re-read it.

George Orwell thought we'd have one by 1984, it just came 16 years later.

A lot of what's in the book is happening right now...but the fictional leadership characters in 1984 actually had more smarts and control than their real-world counterparts of today. lol.

Finally, Phyllis Schlafly gets her scholarly due. While historians have focused on the periphery of politics -- dwelling into ever narrow corners and cracks of the American Left -- Phyllis Schlafly has had no honest assessment. Plenty of dishonest, superficial assessment based on hand-me-down "that terrible woman" stories, but little more. (...). \n\nProfessor Critchlow is the dean of U.S. policy historians and he has taken a brave step tackling a figure so unpopular among academics. Then again, I am reminded of that member of the chattering classes who said, "I can't believe Nixon won , I don't know a single person who voted for him!" Critchlow batters that academic insularity to explain how and why Schlafly's message spawned "grassroots conservatism." Let's hope some who would rather not hear, do listen. \n\nThe alternative offered by Critchlow's study is, to take a quote from one of her best-selling titles, \n\n"A Choice, Not an Echo" of the silly things constantly said \nabout her and other movement conservatives. \n\nWake up historians (left or right), you have nothing to lose but your ignorance! \n\nSee the site below for much more info.

Remember, George Orwell was a Socialist, but hated Communism.  The animals were represenative of his feeling toward governments.  Also, the other person who answered had a good point.  Do your own homework.  That's a great book

Education Secretary.\n\nBreaking the barriers\n\nMargaret Thatcher was the longest serving Prime Minister for more than 150 years and was the first woman ever to take the role.\n\nHer father, a shopkeeper and Mayor of Grantham, was a major formative influence.\n\nThatcher was educated at the local grammar school and at Oxford where she studied chemistry. She also became president of the university Conservative association.\n\nMrs Thatcher later read for the Bar, before being elected in 1959 as the Conservative MP for Finchley.\n\nBritain went to war with Argentina over the Falklands IslandsShe held junior posts before becoming shadow spokesperson for Education, and entered the Cabinet as Education Secretary in 1970.\n\nIn Opposition she stood against Edward Heath for the party leadership in 1975. Her victory was considered a surprise by many. In 1979, the Conservative Party won the General Election and Margaret Thatcher succeeded James Callaghan as PM.\n\nThatcher's first two years in office were not easy. Unemployment was very high, but the economy gradually showed improvement. She brought more of her supporters into the Cabinet, and bolstered her reputation by leading the country to war against Argentina in the Falkland Islands.\n\nLandslide victory\n\nThe Conservatives went on to win the 1983 election by a landslide, aided by a fragmented opposition. Margaret Thatcher's government followed a radical programme of privatisation and deregulation, reform of the Trade Unions, tax cuts and the introduction of market mechanisms into health and education. The aim was to reduce the role of government and increase individual self-reliance.\n\nThatcher and US president Ronald Reagan enjoyed a close relationshipShe also became a familiar figure internationally, striking up a famous friendship with US President Reagan and gaining the praise of Soviet leader Gorbachev.\n\nOne great difficulty during her time in office was the issue of Europe. Her long-serving Foreign Secretary, Sir Geoffrey Howe resigned in November 1990 in protest at Thatcher's attitude to Europe.\n\nFinal downfall\n\nHis resignation speech set in train events which were to lead to Thatcher's downfall later that month.\n\nMichael Heseltine challenged her for the leadership, and while he failed to win, he gained 152 votes - enough to make it evident that a crucial minority favoured a change. Thatcher was eventually persuaded not to go forward to the second ballot, which was won by her Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Major.\n\nShe left the House of Commons in 1992, and now sits in the Lords as Baroness Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher's writings include two volumes of memoirs: The Downing Street Years and The Path to Power.\n\nThe Baroness is still seen at Tory party gatherings and has endorsed party leaders such as William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith.

Read 1984 by George Orwell. Then you will understand. Also read On Liberty, By John Stewart Mill, especially the section on the tyranny of the majority. You might also check up on John Simpsons description of pre revolutionary Romainia. In short, if you agree with absolutely all the Government does, Big Brother is your friend, but if you agree with everything the Goverment does, then you wouldn't have that many friends anyway.

I always felt sorry for Goldstein in 1984. he was one of the revolutionary leaders who got thrown out in the name of power. there are similarities between him and Osama, but the impression given in the book is that goldstein is just trying to dismantle a terrible system (if he indeed exists) in the name of good. both certainly were used as scapegoats to prolong a war, i feel goldstein was trying to reclaim his misdirected revolution in the book.\nboth have been used to control the populations thoughts. americans as with oceania, rely heavily on the media to inform them, and having seen american tv, theres a lot going on that isn't shown on it.\nlots of comparsions i suppose.......\nchrist, finally an inspired question!! fair play to you! got me thinking about this one!! : )

I have the book "Growing Up Brady" (pathetic me) and Greg (Barry Williams) went on a date with her--but that's it. He may have thought he was a hot stud and making the moves on her, but I got the feeling she just went out with him not to hurt his feelings and thought of it as just platonic. (I can't believe I actually have an opinion on something like this! lol)

Really, who would want to take the time to write out this many essays for you?  Have you read the book?  It's quite interesting, one of my favorites from all those I read for high school.  I think that if you view the quotes within the context of the novel, they will make more sense to you and you should be able to answer these questions yourself.  You still have the rest of today and all of tomorrow to work.  If you haven't read the book, then try the info here (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/1984/) for a quick overview.  Try to answer the questions yourself, and over the Thanksgiving break, do yourself a favor and read this wonderful book.

If that happened, she would give up her work "instantly". But isn't work the driving force of her life? "Yeah, it is. But that's because I don't have somebody supporting me." (For now she's stuck with serial dating, the longest relationship weighing in at around 18 months.)"

This was a very enjoyable book, I first read it about 15 years ago.  It is semi-autobiographical in that the author is a pilot and the narrator of the book is a pilot who meets a man with an interesting insight into the human condition and who appears to be a messiah.\n\nThe book is full of memorable lines and makes the reader contemplate life and why we are here.  I definitely recommend it. \n\nThe following link has a number of quotes from the book.

Negative - there's still a lot of the "Frankenstein complex" to get over.\n\nIssac Asimov's Three Laws are a start...but the REAL "I, Robot" (NOTHING to do with the movie - but DON'T get me started there) indicated that even WITH them, there would still be problems...

Scum? Ray Winstone, 1979. Did it include a rape scene in a greenhouse? If it did, then it's Scum.

T.S.Elliott - as you well know Blondie.  I thought it was from "The Wasteland", but I have long grown out of my adolescent fascination with Thomas Stearns, no disrespect to his undoubted abilities.  He did coin some good expressions, which is a mark of ability, if not greatness.\n\nIt was Queen Elizabeth 11 (then Princess Elizabeth) who, sitting politely in the background while Elliot read his Wasteland and other compositions to King George and his queen at Windsor Castle (by invitation) could not conceal her amusement at his ridiculous presentation and, accompanied with equal mirth by Margaret, burst into hilarious giggles!!  No doubt her parents were embarrassed, but Elizabeth, even then, was cleverer than them, and hers was the better verdict.  What a wonderful woman she is - who can match her in England? : even the great Margaret Thatcher (God bless her!) couldn't.  Her son Charles gave his most impressive speech at her 80th birthday : did you all see and hear that?  God save the Queen!   I think T.S. Elliott would echo that sentiment.
