Friday, 12.6 Recap
 * Made comparisons between the society in //1984// and our own society after 1949 (the year that //1984// was written)
 * Ex. The "child heroes" who were willing to expose their children to the thought police were similar to the younger generations in China during the 1960s and 70s who were influenced by Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book"
 * Discussed Orwell's long, descriptive sentence structure with regard to book's themes. For example, since the setting of the book is a monotonous dystopian society, it make sense for Orwell to use such long, redundant sentences.
 * Tried to understand the meaning behind the eye on the book cover
 * Discussed the idea of how the "Thought Police" could be even feasible or possible.

Tues, 12.10
 * Discussed Orwell's usage of dialect in some characters' dialogue and how it makes them come across as of far different class.
