Welcome to Oceania.
What seems to be Winston Smith's biggest conflict so far? Refer to specific evidence from the text. Using evidence from what you have read in chapters 1-3, describe what you know about Oceania so far and how it conflicts with what Winston thinks.
I will be checking for:
- a well-developed paragraph
- at least three references (quotations) from the reading
- comments on two other blog posts
After watching Stranger Than Fiction, reflect on the role of an author, the role of the narrator, and your understanding of what it means to be in control of telling a story. First, explain your understanding of what it means to be an author and a narrator, and explore any differences that you see between two. Refer to specific examples from the movie to support your position.
Secondly, reflect on your role as an author of your research paper. You just completed writing an extensive research paper in which you serve as the narrator/author; how did you determine which perspective/perspectives to include/leave out? In your paper, do you give information at the expense of one person/a group of people? What do you think impact of your paper will be on those who read it?
