Oh No!!!

Oops!! I totally forgot to post about Orwell's view on society! Life has been a bit hectic around here. Anyway, Orwell has a very negative view on society. In many different ways Orwell makes reference to the fact that he thinks humans are dumb and follow other people instead of making their own decisions. He also seems to be afraid of a government takeover or increase in power. Orwell might believe that language is the key to society. It seems like a lot of the issues in Oceania are caused by a lack of language and ways to explain certain ideas like rebellion or strong emotions like love. Orwell seems very bitter and a bit paranoid about many different things!

HEY!!  Mrs. Stariha!  I wasn't able to grab my Whitman essay "grade".  Do you think you could e-mail the grade/letter to me (if you remember it)?

And on a lighter note, yesterday I aquired a stomach flu.  I felt sick to my...stomach!  But alas, I could not hurl it out as hard as I tried.  So, while my family left me home alone to sleep while they went Christmas shopping, I took action.  I couldn't sleep with the pain that I was in, so I forced myself to drink LOTS of water.  And in no time at all, I barfed my guts out!  I felt great afterwords, and have been on the road to recovery ever since.
