=12.01.2011 Anticipation Guide Response= I believe that patriotism means supporting your government during times of war. My own personal definition of patriotism is having pride in the country you are in and not necessarily agreeing with everything the government does, but not ever denying that it is your country and still claiming that your country is the best over any other. To me, standing behind your country during a time of war doesn't mean you must go off and fight in the war. Standing behind it is just hoping for the best and not going against your own country. There is no pride or patriotism if there is negativity and bashing. You may not agree, which is fine. Everyone has their own opinion and everyone has the right to speak out. But it is very important to keep pride and show respect in your country no matter what actions are taking place and to support those who are putting their life on the line everyday for not only the whole country but for you as an individual.

Annaevans123 12/1 5:25 pm I Believe that the speaker of "I Want a Wife", Judy Brady, is a very opinionated feminist who does not hold back on her sarcasm to get her point across. In her writing it is mad very clear to me as the reader, that the events expressed and the feelings felt come from a very personal place. It's obvious to me that she feels belittled and looked down upon as a "wife" and "woman" by those around. Throughout the whole piece of writing, Judy Brady makes the point she is trying to prove very clear. The point being that woman do everything with no appreciation, while their husbands have an easy life. She feels as if she has a hard life and is used by male figures around her. As stated in the writing, she herself realizes the importance of woman, "As i thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occured to me that I, too would like to have a wife." Judy Brady is just looking for some recognition and to not looked down upon but instead be appreciated for the actions not only made by her but other women and wives. --- 12.05.2011 Intended Audience for 1984

The intended audience for the novel, 1984, by George Orwell, is the young society and the government that has the power. Throughout the novel, Orwell tried to prove that the government has all the power and makes the decisions and that the young society are the only ones that can stand up and make a difference in the future.

12.11.2011 Intended message for 1984

I believe that the message that George Orwell is trying to get across in the Novel, 1984, is that it's so important for us as individuals to not llet those who are above us and "powerful" to control our lives. He is wanting to prove, in an extreme dramatized way, what life could be like under such power.

Throughout the novel he gives examples of how his life was ruined and influenced. He was unable to live his ire freely and lived in paranoia that he would be "caught" because of his independent thoughts. He also spent his time hiding his affair with Julia, someone he was "not aloud"to love. The novel focused on the message of how horrible a controlled life would be and the importance of keeping control of ones own life and not falling into pressure of following those around you.

12.11.2011 Purpose of 1984

After reading 1984, I realized that George Orwell was trying to make his readers have a "lightbulb" reaction. He wanted to get across the message he was trying to make and convince them to take a stand. Throughout the novel Orwells message was very clear. If the young society does not stand up and speak for the,selves, then those in higher power will soon control and take over everything, including individuals lives and small personal decisions.

George Orwells purpose in 1984 was to convince and persuade the readers to stand up and not be walked all over by those who claim to be higher. The novel gives examples of how Winston Smith's life was ran and controlled. How he was unable to make his own moral personal decisions and how that was because of "the party" and "big brother". Winston was no longer an individual and Orwell wanted the readers to see that. George Orwell wants the readers to stand upnforntheir individuality and not let thenhighernpowers take over. And he also wants the high powers and government to see the affects that some of their actions may have on people.
