Answer 5

It's right after World War II, and communism was rising in the east. Do some research on communism and what it entailed, and then relate that back to what the book said. It was written in 1949. A note: The author was very outspoken against communism.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I read the book in my free time. Use Google to find out what was truly going on in the world during that time, and then relate it back to what you've read. Unless you didn't read the book, in which case I recommend Spark Notes and read the summaries.

How your knowledge of time and place has influenced your understanding of at least one text u have studied*** ---> CONTEXT

i don't know how should i structure my speech

Answer 11

I think you should begin with paraphrasing what the book was about. Then take the references/information you have and say, "This is the issue that happened, and this is how Orwell presents it in his book/how this influenced his book." Talk about how your knowledge of what happened helps you understand the book.

Answer 12

Go in chronological order

Answer 13

As far as which to do first, talk about what was going on historically and then second how that shaped politics

Answer 20

1984 is a political novel written with the purpose of warning readers in the West of the dangers of totalitarian government. Having witnessed firsthand the horrific lengths to which totalitarian governments in Spain and Russia would go in order to sustain and increase their power, Orwell designed 1984 to sound the alarm in Western nations still unsure about how to approach the rise of communism. In 1949, the Cold War had not yet escalated, many American intellectuals supported communism, and the state of diplomacy between democratic and communist nations was highly ambiguous. In the American press, the Soviet Union was often portrayed as a great moral experiment. Orwell, however, was deeply disturbed by the widespread cruelties and oppressions he observed in communist countries, and seems to have been particularly concerned by the role of technology in enabling oppressive governments to monitor and control their citizens.

can u pls tell if thats a good start

Answer 21

I'm pretty sure that America as a whole was never for communism, although that didn't really come about until after the Vietnam war

Answer 22

But to say that they supported communism is incorrect
