Adam said "It would take a lot of "brainwashing" to get me to watch a hanging for fun." What kinds of sick or violent entertainment is popular in our society today? How about nonstop news about Anna Nicole Smith's death while more significant events are happening in our world, like the war in Iraq or genocide in Darfur? Maybe we are all like proles?Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517958038962746348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624061520315476285.post-89046598249464690212007-05-21T09:20:00.000-07:002007-05-21T09:20:00.000-07:00I agree with your thinking, I do also wish that th...I agree with your thinking, I do also wish that the proles and people would act out and actually say what they truly feel because if then the world may change and the party could be overthrown and good will come out.-Liz =]Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280938152633614916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624061520315476285.post-86081229280555927532007-05-21T07:38:00.000-07:002007-05-21T07:38:00.000-07:00You said "The thought that someone could see a han...You said "The thought that someone could see a hanging as a form of entertainment is just wrong and twisted" I think that this just shows how strong of a grip the party has on peoples thoughts. It would take a lot of "brainwashing" to get me to watch a hanging for fun. I think that the party wants people to watch the hanging because even though they want to watch it, it probably makes them depressed and angry to watch it, which is just what the party wants them to feelAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190336827615055539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624061520315476285.post-45644311547197666352007-05-21T07:36:00.000-07:002007-05-21T07:36:00.000-07:00Olivia, you just make my day.

You talk about how it makes you sick to think that people would watch that as entertainment. However, in our society today there are also some pretty sick forms of entertainment.This may be more severe, but watching people eat live spiders or watching people beat eachother up in cages until they are bleeding is sickening to me.<BR/><BR/>I also hope the proles rebel. If the proles are 85 percent of the population then i think they have the power to do it. I think the ignorance is holding them back. I really liked how you included that quote from the book. It raises alot of ideas. I wonder if Winston is going to be the man who questions his authority.<BR/><BR/>- Olivia =]Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955069137292827336noreply@blogger.com
