1984: Trying to be Loyal above The Rebellious Heart


1984 in Great Britain was a year full of dictatorships. A country led by Big Brother with all the coercing rules. Various forms of data and facts manipulation launched under the pretext of revolution. Many people said that life after the industrial revolution was better than before. However, in reality there’s still many human rights injustices. Restricted freedom of opinion, lack of individual protection, limited access to information, and much more became a long list of injustices in the country.

There lived a man about 40 years old who flared up between his heart, mind and actions, named Winston Smith. Along his life, Winston tried to became a good citizen by obeying every Party's rules. Even though deep in his deepest heart there’s antipathy towards the dictatorship of his country. Yes, the scenario of dictatorship by the Party, under the guise of The Big Brother, an Britain dictator who respected by Party’s fanatics.

Big Brother’s Watching You

There’s still many people who had never seen The Big Brother in real life. Only through giant posters on the big walls in the corners of the city. The expressionless flat face seemed to oversee the people not to act things that harmed the Party. While ordinary people or proliter prefer neutral. From the prol people there’s some thought-out criminals who refused the dictatorship of the ruler. Even so, Winston was also a member of the Party in opposing the state dictatorship. But only limited to the turmoil of the heart, did not dare to fight openly.


That was no longer surprising, because the mind police, telescreen and hidden microphones make privacy just like fantasy. The mind police as if they knew what we were really thinking. Even an irregular breath, the mind police could be suspected as an attempt to oppose The Big Brother and The Party that was hidden. The telescreen and hidden microphone make our movements limited, wherever and whenever. A two-way communication tool that’s able to record audio-visual and respond through different places. The telescreen can be hidden behind paintings, grass, even the toilet.

How bad, sometimes the history was rewritten according to the will of the Party. The truth that should be a fact, easily manipulated. Not only manipulated, but until eliminated as if it never existed, regardless aspects of democracy and people's opinions. In another words, sometimes people are lied by their own country.

In Great Britain, precisely in 1984 was a sharp satire, a form of neat dictatorship. In it presents an overview about collapse of the totalitarian society’s life. Which the movement of each citizen studied by the method according to the Party's decision. Every word spoken was tapped, every act was limited, and every thought was controlled. In fact, if caught doing things which was likely to be detrimental the Party in the future, will be tried without justice. Until now, a 1984 book by George Orwell led him to the peak of fame. It’s also an important creation as a reference material for his next book.

The short story titled The magic shop by H.G Wells is an interesting fiction story. This story tells a lot of unique new things. Besides the interesting things I also found moral values like: 1. The intelligent parents will understand how to protect and give everything what their son need. 2. Always listen to exprert. They will tell You what can't be done and why then do it. 3. Every human being has a mind that can develop imagination even sometimes beyond reason. By: Febiana Kusumastuti/183211047

B. 24

SYAHRUL MUKAROM 183211051 b.24 My opinion about the story is short tittle and very simple, but difficult to understanding it. I don’t know about a reason of the author to give tittle “b24”. This is make the reader ask about it, and make the story very interesting. The reader must know that we can take many moral messages from the story. About the law, injustice, and the rich. The parcipants of the story are Thief as suspected, Lady Mannering as a murderer, lord mannering as victim, and judge.       About the thief, although he was thief  because he have one reason and direction to do it. To continue he life, he have not the work that time. He just thief not the other.      At the assembly the thief tell about the event step by step, one by one, but no one was listened and the judge not believed about explanation him, still to accused that murderer is him.      From the story we must know about injustice from the law. “blunt above,...

The Moral Values of RIP Van Winkle By : Washington Irving The moral values that I have seen from 'Rip Van Winkle story is that time goes on and things keep changing whether a person is there or not. In the story, Rip takes a 21 year nap, but time does not stop the world keeps changing. Even though Rip is not aware of all of the changes going on, its still happen. When he awakes, Rip finds that there are some changes that he likes. For example, when he was going to the place where there had been a school and asked the crowd that had gathered and somebody said that everything had changed and finally he found his daughter. There were also some changes he didn't like, such as his dog getting older and his children growing up although Rip Van Winkle had been upset because he missed many important events. So the moral of the story is time does not wait the world will keep moving forward and changing . These things will happen even if someone is not ready for them! Ot...
