Dear Warrior, dear Loyalist, dear Purist and Son,
I'm writing to encourage you that you are not the only one. I too recall times before this facist regime, when public was public and private was unseen; before spies and telescreens. Indeed we were free to make our own decisions without every aspect of our life under the Party's supervision. Crimethink and doublethink didn't exist because there was no such thing. Any thought on our mind or song on our heart had the freedom to ring. Now however, the circumstances have shifted. No longer is any that privelaged or gifted. By a lack of resistance and an attitude of submission, all of our liberties have fallen into a state of remission.
We let our guards down and allowed the Party to overtake society right out of our hands. Let's take it back for goodness sake! Lamely we've toiled and bought into the lies, the rewriting of history, and permitted the omnipresent spies.
Treasoners! It is time for our repentance! No longer will Big Brother meet with our acceptance! We must unify ourselves without fear of becoming unpersons because we already are by living behind Big Brother's curtains. Isolated from the entire world we only know what the media tells us. But what isn't media media saying? Aren't you a bit curious? We are told of a war, but without a cause nor a goal. Where is the battlefront? Or how about the war within your soul? I'm calling on you to stand up to the Party to preserve our former society. Despite our lack of confidence, we must unite in national piety. Let us take back what's our's and restore things back to the way they once were! Now is the time! This change must occur!
Boldly,
Winston

Paul your perception sucks lol. But really good job quoting and and supporting you answer
ReplyDeletePaul, as usual you have written a well thought out, and well written assignment. Although I don't think that everything you have wrote would be how Winston would say it, I do think that you have a great understanding of how Winston would choose to address the public. Overall this is a good, well written, and seems very likely to be something Winston would say or write.
