1984 Patriotism, by dictionary, is the devoted love, support, and defense of one's country. When a country is at war, many people in the country may not agree with the choices of the government. But to have loyalty and support, it shows trust in the federal government. I believe that patriotism is dependant on the opinion one has for the choices of the government. To support the country, there are several things people can do. By supporting local businesses, the economy has a better chance of succeeding. Paying taxes helps and supports as well. To support the community, people can volunteer and help at schools and shelters. Patriotism is not only supporting the war. Whatever is done to help and support the country is good and necessary. The author of, "I want a wife", Judy Brady, is a very opinionated feminist, who expresses her feelings in a very obvious light. She knows as a mother and wife what the "expectations" are, and makes very clear that she is against them by using sarcasm and mockery. Brady uses many rhetorical devices, such as repetition of the phrase "I want". The intended audience of this piece is men because she wants them to see life through women's eyes. She also intended for the audience to be women because she wants them to see how bogus it is to be taken advantage of. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I believe that the intended audience of George Orwell's, 1984, was not a specific group of people from a specific country. I believe that the intended audience was the people of the world that have no voice. Whether its is the people living under government control, like in Burma, where Orwell lived, or people that can speak up, and just do not. All throughout the novel, Orwell tried to prove to the audience that the federal government has all the power. "Thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another's existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same"(220). This quote is one of the many that show Orwell's dismay with the blindness and ignorance of the countries people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
