1984 Response 3

            In the documentary “Inside North Korea” one lady that they interviewed had negative views on America and she said that they had caused all sorts of problems that effected them. This is similar to how the party is trying to brainwash Winston into thinking one way that Big Brother is good and that 2+2=5. “No Winston, that is no use. You are Lying. You still think there are four. How many fingers, please!” (250) Also in the video, they discussed how the people weren't allowed to travel out of their own town and needed permission from the government in order to do so. This is similar to how Winston and Julia went out of town into the country but had to watch out for patrols for the party watched were you went. “We can come here once again. It’s generally safe to use any hide-out twice” (126). They also had to be careful not to use the same way twice to avoid attention from the party. The children spies who told on their parents were also the same in the book as the video. In the video, kids who told on their parents were regarded as a hero and did the state a huge favor. This connects to the book and how Parson’s kids ratted on him for being unorthodox to the party and he ended up in a cell with Winston. “It was my little daughter. She listened at the keyhole” (233).
