In the book 1984 Orwell envisioned the division of the world into 3 unified states that were held together through tehnological controls. I have to write a paper with SOLID examples to what extent has Orwell's vision of global political arraignment been realized. Any ideas on this subject?
Hello to all and thank you in advance. I have a college essay on 1984 and would love some extra ideas to make my paper that much better.
My assignment is,
Our third project will focus on “Literary Analysis” in which you evaluate a theme, a short passage, or a concern from Orwell’s 1984 in light of some defined criteria such as memory, humanism, propaganda, eroticism, economics, etc.
I have decided to go with how strictly thought is controlled by The Party and its effects on memory.
So far I plan to talk about Newspeak, the Thought Police and the Ministry of Truth. I would greatly appreciate any ideas you think would help prove my point

I was wondering if there are many historic parallels in the novel, like I know for example comparisons can be drawn between the concept of unpersons/vaporization and the USSR, because it has been documented that various people who fall out of favour with the government have been vaporized. Are there any other things I'm missing?
