1984
« on: November 30, 2011, 05:13:11 PM »
in english class im writing a paper. my choice is George Orwells novel 1984 and comparing it to todays society. theres an economics teacher and a politics teacher and a obviously history teachers along with english teachers i can consult, but thats only a few sources to get educated answers on with the book and comparing it to present. there are so many things to discuss in it it is going to be a challenege getting enough information from them and my brain to write a concrete paper about it. my question for those of that have read it is this: how do you feel our current society fits in with the book, meaning does our society resemble that which was depicted in the book? now society clearly doesnt resemble it 100% but there are many things, i feel, that resemble society in the book. do you agree, disagree, why or why not? also, do you feel if we as a society and (in my case) the future leaders of the nation have to be careful we dont slip into a society as such depicted in the book? Why or why not?

Your questions sound like your teacher wrote them.

As for 1984...I hate homework.  :bolt:

Agree with Lusche and Nypsy.    Also, if we provide commentary then "your paper" becomes "our paper".    I have read this book a few times and it is a great read.

i would take some ideas, provide my feedback to your thoughts and incorporate them into the paper. i have a good thoughts about what im saying, but i dont feel as if my thoughts will do the subject justice to all that there is in the book. its like conducting an interview on someone. take the info, mix it in with yours. yes, you will get credit for providing info as i need work cited pages.

The purpose of this paper is not incorporate someones' ideas into your work, the TRUE purpose of this paper is for you to analyze, compare, and fabricate your OWN ideas. Original thinking! If you receive help from everyone all the time, then you never develop the necessary skill to come up with ideas on your own. Think man! THINK!

Not really, that's like saying asking a teacher turns "his" paper into "his teacher's" paper.
He's asking for info and our opinions, not for us to write his essay.  :aok

Do you want a vision of the future? Imagine you... doing your homework... by yourself.  :neener:
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

1984 is a great album.  "Panama" is mt favorite song on it, most people don't know that song is about a stripper.    :aok

thank you for understanding. we've all been through school and had to write papers. if the point of the paper was to pull out of butt i wouldnt have come here seeking thoughts and opinons. clearly being smart tulips about things is in societys norms, if only the book had a major part about societys smart tulips in it  :bhead.

sorry i came seeking others thoughts and opinons to add to a paper to give me ideas for it. and then society wonders why the future leaders could care less about the future.
