1+--+A.T.

Having peace with another person or in 1984's case, another country does not necessarily mean you have had to go through war. If they disagree on something going over to their country and forcing your views on them is not going to solve anything, but just create more problems for the future. By just declaring war on a country it is not compromising or trying to find a solution to the problem but just showing the other country how more powerful you are. Because it takes time and effort to view the other sides opinion, it is easy to just jump into a war without rationally thinking about the consequences; the men that will die, all the money that will be spent on weapons and having to prepare the soldiers for war. If you want for things to truly change, then you have to go about the issues in a peaceful manner because war just brings in revenge and winning and not the main issue that is trying to be solved. I also believe that if you want peace then you should prepare for it also. You just have to work out your differences to create harmony between the two to reduce actually any global tensions. It reminds me of a fight two people would get into, not an argument but a fight. Instead of talking about the problem and finding a way to solve or minimize it, the two people would just both agree on physical violence, just because of the heat of the moment. Also in an argument, each person's main concern is to be heard over the other person. And the only way to get your point across is if you yell, to show how much you stand by your side. Getting into wars just leads to more wars in the future, if you never come to a compromise and never want to discuss the issue, wars will be the only option looked at if someone does not want to do things your way. Even though many countries go to war with other countries to show their strength and to give them a warning not to mess with their country, it just makes the other country feel intimidated. And later in the future, if the country that declared war ends up being in an even bigger war they would want all the help they can get. If by declaring war on countries over little issues that could be resolves easily, those countries would not end up helping the countries to win during the war, causing a major defeat and many losses of soldiers, and well as, money. Getting into wars, also sets a bad example for the incoming generation. They will start to view war as a normal thing, and as a common way to get out of certain problems. I believe if the country is in danger and absolutely has to go to war then be it. If it is being threatening of feels like in danger, that country has a right to stand up for itself. However, the war should be fought only for what its main purpose was. In 9/11, when America went to Iraq, it was because of the terrorist attack on America. America should have just stayed there and fought the war and not have extended that stay to show Iraq how to govern there own country. Wars are merely meant to defend the country, not to force ideas down peoples throats. Wars cause problems in the present and also in the near future. The only way to win over a dispute is if both sides ideas are shared peacefully and not with force, then maybe an agreement can be made at the end where both parties are satisfied.

3.) The intended audience for 1984 would be for the younger community more specifically those were training or already in power, to make them think and to show them that they were the only ones who could actually try to change the government. Winston wants them to try to stand up to the government. Even though the government controlled what got published and was put out into society, Winston took the chance of being hanged if they ever found anything out and decided to write in his diary for for other generation to see what was going on and for him to somehoe communicate with the futre. Another instance was when Winston was by the portrait by Big Brother and all of them were chanting, even though Winston didn't want to, he still chanted. He then caught O'Brien's eye and thought that both of them were thinking the same thing, which was their hatred toward Big Brother and that they were on the same side. When Winston and Julia were talking about the Party and their different views, Julia's response made him think of how the younger generation, who didn't know anything about the Party, rebelled against it.

4.)The message Orwell is trying to convey is that someone is always watching you either with or without your consent. In the book, the Party controls each person by spying on them at all times, and inforces their ways of thinking into the society. Then if someone opposes of that idea or thinks differently about something they get punished for having doublethink, and the Party wants to demolish that into having only one thought for everything. The Party went to major extremes to control the people, from mentally putting in your head that your are never alone and always having to be careful of your emotions and words, physicaly punishing the people such as not feeding them and shock treatment if they somehow rebelled against the Party, changing events that had happened in the past because if the Party has the ability to control the past then they have the power to control the present and any actions that will happen in the future, and even hiding telescreens to be able to eavesdrop on any conversations that might be against the Party. Orwell is saying that you're never alone and the the Party, government, is controlling you.

5.) The purpose of the novel is to inform other countries and people about the negative effects of a totalitarian government. He wanted to show how the world could end up in a couple of years and if they did not do anything to stop it they could all be living in a communist world. Since he wanted people to stand up to the Party, which is the government, he showed ways how to approach communism as well as how to stop it. Orwell showed different group in society where they each viewed the Party in a different way. Some rebelled, other thought nothing or it, and some followed the Party. He wanted to make you think that even if you were not capable of stopping the Party all by yourself, with the help of the proles it could be done. He made you believe that the Party took control of everything and rearranged things for their own personal gain. That is was a bad thing spying on everyone at every waking moment, changing histroy into how they wanted it to be, changing the way people would talk forever, and not premoting individualism. So, he wants you to work towards coming together to try to fight it off. Winston believed that there were more members of the Brotherhood, but they never got together, they each acted individualy and not as a whole. He wanted everyone to just come together and be open-minded so they could take down the Party.
