as i was reading this book, i noticed several key comparisons b/n sum 41 and 1984, and wrote an essay for english on it
One weird thing I found was the similarities of this book to two songs. Both of them are from my favorite band, “Sum 41â€Â. The first song, entitled “In Too Deepâ€Â, has several instances of this novel. The first instance is in the chorus: “Cause’ I’m in too deep and I’m trying to keep up above in my head instead of going underâ€Â. By saying “in too deepâ€Â, that represents Winston when he realizes how deep in trouble he is when he buys the diary, has bad thoughts about Big Brother, and has the affair with Julia. “And I’m trying to keep up above in my head†represents how Winston is trying to do what he thinks is the right thing to do (him being with Julia). “Instead of going under†shows how he is trying to prevent himself from getting caught by Big Brother. In the solo of this song, the singer says “You can’t fight it you might as well embrace itâ€Â: this is proven in the end of the book when Winston eventually accepts the party and loves Big Brother. The next song, “Pull the Curtainâ€Â, has a solo with the lyrics “Suffocate the dreams in my mind…Drown the thoughts that had me confinedâ€Â. This basically shows how the thought police monitored everyone’s thoughts, so they couldn’t even think whatever they individually felt.
yea :D
