Journal #3 1984

In the novel 1984 Orwell writes on how society has taken over the minds of people, and how they let society take complete control. This is displayed when Winston is being tortured and O'Brien was talking about how Winston must gain sanity back. Like being sane was a privelage. This shows that society  has taken complete control of all the citizens minds of Oceania and they have no control on what to think. I think Orwell is trying to say that Democracy is a bad thing in our society today because if we continue to let someone lead us and put all of our trust in them, than we will not have any say. And that means that we would all be zombies obiding by the rules of the Government,

If we all continue to let someone else make the rules than we will have no freedom is the warning Orwell is trying to make. When one obtains freedom and sanity by themselves than they will no let anyone else rule them. Orwell uses Winston as the exception in 1984 because Winston refuses to break in the torture room, and he has sex with Julia. Showing that Winston wants to rebel and not follow the rules of the Government. Now the thought police is a warning to our society on how if we choose freedom of speech then we must be careful of what we must say because someone can become extrememly angry in the higher power and want to kill you!!
