A: mr way,an was teaching the 3 rd form
P: the 3rd form were being taught by mr Wayman.
A: I am sorry for what has happened
P: what has happened i am sorry.

Big brother is watching you
We are being stared at like animals in a zoo, with our superior force as we call big male relation.
It was a bright cold day in April.
In the month of April, which comes before June, the frost was forming my judgement into believing it was a cold bright and illuminating 24 hour section of the year.
Reflection
Orwell was suspicious of language which broke his five rules. It would seem, that language which brakes these rules changes the power behind them. For example the use of passive instead of active is a more indirect form of taking responsibility.
Secondly breaking these rules could make language which could be used In comedy or in law, and so writing a book about propaganda and superior authority with mayhem everywhere has no margin for error when it comes to the language type which must be used when describing this.
5 rules of Orwell
1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than saying anything outright barbarous.

Julia's Perspective
I know we are doing something dangerous. We first met paths in the minutes of hate and in the cafeteria, I see you want to talk to me, it is too dangerous in the office. I don't know how to talk to you, the note seemed to be the only way, it was secrete and subtle. My appearance is a disguise don't let it fool you, the anti sex league is the only way to hide myself, I like you am against big brother. I know we have only met a few times, but I know more about you than you think, I can't hide my feelings anymore, this is so dangerous. I don't know what we are going to do, we will be ratted out in a second, we have to be careful, the telescreens will always find us, the thought police will always be their. I know I've been with many members, but I've never been caught, I hope I can reassure you that we will not get caught.
I'm not sure what you think of me, am I too young or too daring, do you feel the same way about me? Do you trust me? I know your cautious of everything you do, you above me must be more careful than anyone, we are both in the line, trust is what we need. I remember your first thought so me, as you openly told me about hitting me in with a cobblestone, do you still feel that way.
We are similar we both want the same thing. Down with big brother.

Part 1 conclusion
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
By the end of part 1, the reader has been introduced to Orwell's horrifying dystopia. We have learnt that the world in which the main character, Winston, lives is filled with propaganda and false identity. He works for an organization which manipulates the mind of the public and changes the way they see the past present and future. One way I which they are so successful is the evolution of the language.
Winston is under surveillance at all times by telescreens, he has no privacy, even his thoughts are monittered by thought police. He seeks refugees in which he may right his thoughts down in a diary, he sees the world in a different way from others his memory seems to have not been affected by the propaganda of BigBrother, " down with big brother ".

Analysis
Analysis of an extract
In this short extract of 1984 we see from Winston's view how the rations of supplies have risen by twenty percent all over Oceania. The phrase ' happy life' is used as a slogan for the ministry of plenty.
This occurs when Winston and Parsons are discussing business in the canteen. Winston makes the assumption that Parsons will be vaporized for his views,as Parsons is changing the English language entirely, the current language will be gone in less than 50 years.
Winston and parsons having lunch is what has led up to it and after he pays 2 dollars for a prostitute who looks to be over 50 years.
4. The narrator builds up the impression of the people as if they were sheep. They follow everyone and do as others do, they accept what is said to them not what is reality, they live under the influence of big brother. The narrator also makes it seem as if Winston is the only one with a memory, as he fails to acknowledge and take in some of the statistics raised on the screen, whereas others ' swallow them ' with no acknowledgement of the actual real reasoning behind them.
