Writing Prompt 2 - 9/19/08

In the novel 1984 written by George Orwell the character Winston Smith struggles to free himself from the power of the Big Brother and the Party. The Power all over the world is hard to free yourself from.

Winston is a man of a great mind who wants to live in a better world. He feels lost and loneyl because of the way the government is ran its like they are taking over. Winston does what he feel out of spite because he does not want to feel brain washed along with the society he is located in right now. He takes a stand in what he believes in but later figures out the power is stronger.

No matter where you turn someone is watching you, and sometimes its hard to break free. Winston struggles to be free because he needs someone who believes in the samething and is willing to take the challenge. Society can be a harsh place due to the fact of the government but people have to take a stand. Winston finds people who understands where he is coming from and takes a launch at the higher power , but it backfires. Winston is taken into custody and toured for standing up.

George uses power struggle to make the reader more interested by letting it take over peoples mind. No one can see clearly because they are being blind by death.People lost lives taking a stand, The book is based on enhancement of the power struggle due to the fact that in the end winston had a choice either still be with the people or stand up or not.

Another thing is sneaking around that shows pwoer struggle because if you can do what you like you would not have to sneak around. That makes it more better for the reader because people wanted to kno if they were going to get caught (Julia and Winton).

Therefore everyone in the book struggled from power. No one could handle the enpowerment but did nothin. Winston stood up and was knocked back down but still accomplished something he wanted to do.
