''Its imposible to force, control, and brainwash humans with taking extrem mesures”. This is what the book is all about sins there is no way they can build such a society that does not questions or even look back to way are they there, how are they there. This is what Orwell is trying to say that there is no one or any government that can make what Big Brother has done but only if we dont let it happened we need to have an opinion, a private life and freedom to do anything we want. In the book Winston is put in many types of torture so he can believe what the government wants him to believe and at the end they are able to brake him down how ever this only shows that the government needs to goes throw extreme mesures to achieve this. However what the novel was able to do is to make the pople in this society live like there is only one way and that is the one the government choose because all the rest was erase and cover up. This is what we need to learn that we cant be intimidated by our government we need to demand freedom and rights and anything that has been taken from us.

In my opinion the most important theme this novel shows is “the importance of freedom of speech, and being perseverant.” I believe this is the most important theme now that all along the story we can notice how oppressed people were; they weren’t able to speak and have an opinion. People didn’t have identities they barely knew each other and if any type of relationship happened between them or they exchanged ideas or opinions, it would be classified as a crime. One important right of a person is to speak out loud and have an opinion, if this is oppressed people will have trouble finding themselves and I believe real harm is being made to them. What Winston shows us in the story is the importance of perseverance, in this case the importance to persist with your own opinion at all times, till the end. Diana Contag

One of the themes of the novel 1984 that impacted me was the past is erased in order to control the present. The party is afraid of a revolution. Their solution was to erase the past so people cant learn of their mistakes. Essentially want to make people ignorant since that prevent uprising. The party has total control over the people since they have a telescreen watching them every day. They force them to burn anything that reminds them of the past. The party spread fear since they vaporize them if they don't follow the rules people can be discover braking the law by the telescreens, thought police or spies. Within the society their is no trust. The community is basically brain washed since nobody can't think as individuals; people are like robots, the party controls every aspect in their lives.

A possible theme for the book of 1984 is that when freedom is deprived from people there is not a balance on society. This theme is clearly present on the book on the way people lived under this totalitarian control and had all their lived managed and not freedom. On this society there are lots of inequalities as the ways of living from proles and the party workers. Proles were poor and couldn’t do anything while party workers as O’Brien have a more luxuries life. Because of lack of freedom this couldn’t change, Proles didn’t have the chance to overcome their poor life and get wealthier. If they said something against their government they will die. Not only on Proles but normal people as Winston show how freedom is needed for happiness. On his live he is board, he knows that the government has many lies on how they control Oceania and knows there is something better than this but he can’t do anything or he will be eliminated. His life is a routine with synthetic food and cloths that are distributed by the government. Everyone is the same and needs to think the same so they will not be vaporized. The book shows how freedom is needed to balance society expressing necessities and how totalitarianism doesn’t benefit all people. ALFREDO JOSE TERAN
