The Concept of the Novel “1984”

 

Recently in English A Language and Literature we have been studying this novel called 1984 by George Orwell. For the past few classes we’ve watched the movie adaptation of the novel. 

Book review: How 1984 is as important of a read now more than ever | Curated

The novel's central theme is to portray the high amount of control and power that is achievable under a really fascist government. It investigates how such a governing structure might affect society and its citizens. The society portrayed in “1984” is one in which social control is exercised through disinformation and surveillance. It's comparable to our society today since social media like TikTok, Instagram and Facebook have similar traits and that trait gathering the user’s private information like location searches in other apps etc. 

1984 by George Orwell | Book Analysis

Therefore, in my opinion the novel and today’s society are similar in many ways such as the lack of privacy and social control. This novel study provides a different perspective to power and authority and how power influences the life of every citizen in a society.

TOK Presentation

  On 16th and 17th our TOK Facilitator, Mr. Sajid conducted a practice session for the upcoming TOK Exhibition in May. The TOK Exhibition is crucial in DP, especially in the first year. It contains one third of the overall TOK grade and TOK is a core component in IB. It is essential that students are well prepared for the exhibition.   For the practice session, we did not do the full run through of the exhibition. For this practice session we only had to pick one object for the prompt and theme, instead of three in the actual exhibition. We had to create a display for that one object and present it to the class and our DP Coordinator.   This has been incredibly helpful for the students, because it gives us an idea of what prompt and theme we will choose. We can see if we are comfortable with the object and are good at explaining the prompt or theme. The presentation also gave us a gist of how it will be like when we present our objects in front of a huge audie...
