The underlying philosophy behind Newspeak doesn't applies to my life. If I don't have a word for something, I think about how I could say it in another way. Or I will just try to explain it by using an example to try to say the word.
Life is like a big merry-go-round,
You're up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to where you are.
Everybody's been counting you out,
But where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
[Chorus:]
I'd rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
'Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won't accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh
Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there's a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know where the road leads you,
Not everyone's gonna believe you,
And even know they're wrong, don't prove them right
Life is Big Brother,
You're up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to the Golden Country.
Everybody's been counting on you,
But where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all could get vaporize,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
[Chorus:]
I'd rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
'Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won't accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a ownlife,
I am a ownlife!
Ooh oh
Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there's a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know where the road leads you,
Not everyone is a oldthinker,
And even know they're wrong, don't prove them right

The Brotherhood!
Quick Write:
If I was Winston or Julia I would join the Brotherhood. They are already against the Party so why not. If the Party finds out they will just change their identity. So Winston or Julia won't be vaporized.

The Politics of Love
Quick Write:
With gender aside, I connect with Winston more because if I was in a society like in 1984 I will be questioning the Party as well.
Final Reflection:

Writing in Newspeak
Quick Write:
The terms from 1984, doublethink I don't remember what it means. Ministry of truth is basically anything but the truth. Big brother is like the government. The words don't mean exactly what they say, it means the opposite.

Big Brothers in the News
Quick Write:
I do think love do change some people. Some people will change but some won't. Some people would stop hanging out with they friends or family members and only hang out with their loved one. Only will pay attention to their loved one and forget about the rest of the other people in their life.

1984 and the Patriot Act
Quick Write:
I don't think Winston world will occur today. People won't let the government take control of their every move. Their will be people who will stand up for themselves.
Final Reflection:
Winston Smith's and the lawyer's experience connect. The government both was in the privacy personal things. I feel like everybody gets profiled unfairly. People will assume something just by the way you look. The government should balance the right to privacy with the need for national security. Its good that they have security for just in case something bad happens. But we also need our privacy. I think that they shouldn't always be listening to our conversation, email, or text all the time. If they have proved that something is wrong then they could but if not they shouldn't be all the time in our privacy personal stuff.
What connections can you make between Winston Smith's experience and the lawyer's? Do you feel you ever were profiled unfairly or was there a time when you felt your privacy was invaded? Write about it. Finally, explain how the government should balance the right to privacy with the need for national security.

Wassup with the Proles part2
Quick Write:
Knowing what I know about the Proles and their lifestyle, I don't think no one will like to be a Party member. But the people that is part of the Party member have no choice but to be in it. If one of the Party members trying to question the Party then they will be vaporize.
Final Reflection:
The future of the society in 1984 does not depend on the Proles. The Proles won't step up to the Party. They won't wake up. It's like they are comfortable with the way they are living. The Proles don't matter to the Party nor do they exist to the Party. The Proles have their own rules. They don't use any critical thinking skills.

Wassup with the Proles
Quick Write:
“From the proletarians nothing is to be feared. Left to themselves, they will continue from generation to generation and from century to century, working, breeding, and dying, not only without any impulse to rebel, but without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is.”
In other words, the proles could do whatever they want. They don't have to live like a Party member. I agree with this quote because there is evidence in the book about it. The Proles wouldn't be vaporize like a Party member will if they disobey the rules of Big brother. The Party doesn't care about the proles.

Proles, sex and the destruction of words
Quick Write:
"Its a beautiful thing, the destruction of words." Words are destruction in 1984, I don't think it will be now or happen now. New words are being made but none are being destruction that I know of.
Final Reflection:
The Party was destroying words. In other words word was being destruction. The party didn't want them to express their feelings. So they will destroy words but for the people won't find out. The party is doing it for they won't think that BB is trying to control their thoughts.

History as Construct
Quick Write:
I don't know that everything that is being taught to me in my history class is true. The information comes from the textbook. Who ever wrote the information we don't know if they are lying or not. The information also comes from the internet. When most sites you could edit the information so thats another reason why we don't know if the information is true or not.
Final Reflection:
I still agree with the quote. The quote is: it is impossible to change history. You cannot change the past. You can't go back to the past so you cannot change history. In the book 1984 they was all control to believe the new information that they said that happen in the past when it didn't. If they didn't or even question their information, they will be vaporize. The people in 1984 is obligated to accept or live or agree with the information that was being change.

The Hate
Quick Write:
Hate is a strong word for me. Hate is when you can't stand something or someone, not even their presence. What cause hate is when you really dislike something or something that someone did to you and you hold grudge that turn into hate. Having hate in your heart is not good. Hate is a negative thing.
Final Reflection:
The thing thats wrong with hate with a psychological perspective is that person have a fixed mindsets. People with hate in themselves will turn bad. And the hate will take over you. You won't have control of yourself. The person will be acting out.

Psychoanalyzing Winston Smith
Quick Write:
Winston says "Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull." Because in 1984 they had telescreen everywhere. Those telescreen could see what you are doing and they can also hear you if you close to it, and not a lot of noises was around you. Even in your own house they would know your ever move. So it was like nothing is yours but the few cubic centimeters inside your skull. Because they even have thought police.
Final Reflection:
Winston Smith has a growth mindsets. He always questions the system. Even though the system forced everybody to be a fixed mindset. He wrote down his feeling in his diary. When none was able to express their feelings.
