1984 summary

             The book starts out by describing Oceania under a dictator. Winston Smith is the main character in the novel and he lives in Oceania formerly London. It becomes clear that he against the government. He tries to write in his journal about an event that had happened earlier in the day, but it is hard because there is a camera in his room watching him. Earlier that day he looked into the eyes of a top ranked official and saw that he too was against the government. .
             Winston is interrupted by his neighbor that wants him to fix something in her apartment, he does so and feels very relieved that it was not the police, who were at his door. When Winston goes to sleep he has a dream of his mother. He has not seen his mother since he was 10 years old, but he often dreams of her. Then he dreams of a beautiful girl in the countryside. In the dream she gets naked and starts to walk toward him. When he wakes up he interprets the dream as a sign that he has to overthrow the government.
             He is awoken at 7:15 to go to work. He is in bad shape suffering from a disease and he wakes up every morning coughing, and this morning was no different. The telescreen( which is a monitor that everyone has in their homes) makes everyone work out and Winston is included. He starts to think about the war that his country is currently going through, and remembers that only a few years ago they were allies with that very same country. It is impossible to prove so since all public records are changed by what every party is in charge to their liking. Winton's job is for the party and all that he does is change things around for their liking and makes their image better. .
             Winston goes to a prostitute, which is important because then sex was not looked upon greatly and usually women did not enjoy it. He then meets with Syme, who work for the Dictionary company and he talks about the new language with her, and how there will be less words since the government has taken out words they did not want.

Summary The morning reveille, a hammer banging against a length of rail, is sounded at five o'clock.

4. Summary of The Dark Knight Rises

Over the past month of this semester in this class, we have had the chance to watch many different types of movies from musicals to romantic films. They have been very interesting to not only watch but also having the chance to read a couple of them as well. A Streetcar named Desire, Amadeus, and Chicago were all very interesting in their own ways of having both theatrical and Cinematic features. I personally would say Amadeus had the most Theatrical and Cinematic features of the three, even though Chicago was a close second. But these movies were produced in 1984 and 2002 respectively and ove...
