Brother. The brainwashing in the book might be a little exaggerated but it is
still the same concept.
Yet another example is how people are tagged with numbers. People today
are identified by a social security number same as in 1984. Many of Orwells
predictions became true but many didn't.
Despite the truths, there were many untruths prevalent in 1984. Many
concepts expressed in the book such as banned sex, thought police, food
shortages from the past were all predictions that never became true. Orwell made
the prediction that sex would be illegal in t ...

speculating how ...

Report On The Prince By Machiavelli

weakness. Fortune controls half of human's actions, and man's will control
the other half. Virtue is the best defense for fortune, and virtue must be
used in order to keep fortune in check. The prince must take advantage of
situations based solely on if it is best for the state. He should choose

state achieves its goals, as long as these goals are achie ...

Number of Words: 923 / Number of Pages: 4

... on any one scene for too long. Many chapters end and you find yourself wondering if there was supposed to be more. By the end, you realize that it actually enhances the plot greatly. One moment the people might be eating and bathing in the barracks, and the page after they are fighting on the front lines. It skips around a lot, but I became used to it.
