1984 numero tres

In the final analysis, how accurate was Orwell in his vision of the future?
Well I just thought it was scary that they had such complete and utter control over a community. It's hard to imagine! The ideas were brilliant, what they said went, everyone was completely brainwashed.

In what ways does our contemporary society compare to his idea of society in 1984?
I don't really know if we are controlled much in the US, but maybe we are, for all i know we could be taught something completely different then what's really going on in the world, sadam might not even exist, i haven't seen him. It's scary to see in places like North Korea, the complete control they have over their people, whether that will move or grow i can't say, but it could.

Are there examples in which he was correct?
The whole Big Brother senario with domestic watching
Um even when we learned about torture to break people, that's part of the whole ending

What is most opposite?
we have freedom of rights, to assemble, to love, freedom of speech, that's very opposite the books message

Do you see a potential for aspects of Orwell's "vision" to come true?
it all ready has! see north korea, it could spread here, someday maybe... when we're out of hope or something bad happens, a phsyco leader will take over for sure that could have to potential to do something like that, hopefully not in my lifetime... unless the physco leader's me ;)
muahahahahahaha
