1984

"Until they become conscious they will never rebel and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."
-Winston Smith in 1984


I just finished 1984. This has nothing to do with Nepal but I was thinking what kind of assignment I would give if I were teaching this book. I think I would have the students choose if they believed society should run how Winston thinks it should or how the Party thinks it should. They after they had decided I would have them write an essay arguing the opposite perspective of the one that they chose. Most would probably choose Winston's point of view, therefore would have to argue why society should be run like the Party seems fit; arguing doublethink, the Thought Police, etc.
