Novel 1984 essay help needed?
Anyways, I have an essay that’s due, I really need help. The prompt is,
“Individual who go along with the majority without question can arguably share a significant portion of the blame when events go badly. Considering 1984, decide why people like Parsons are the epitome of the person this society can and does produce. How do characters like this reflect on Orwell’s society? Ours? Look beyond Parsons alone, and develop an interpretation of 1984 based around individuality, freedom of thought, and mindless acquiescence-be sure to use several other characters to give a complete view.
Similarly, connect the role of children in this society: what do the actions of these young people indicate about the nature of learning, in connect with the ideas listed above?
so basically, the topic’s going to be about why people like Parsons a perfect example of what the society can produce, right? but how am I supposed to connect all it’s asking into an essay. thanks.

I think as far as the universality of the theme goes, Orwell is saying that most people don’t have it in them to give a …….. about their personal freedom because they don’t use it, or see it as relevant. Remember that as horrible as Stalin was, when he died, the vast majority of the Russian people loved him. The human character, the human mind, is just not up to the standards implicit in the Renaissance or the American Revolution or the Constitution. Communism and total control and uniformity comes closer to what human nature seems to need.
As to the kids, the Child Heros I think they were called, who informed on unloyal adults…Orwell totally hit it on the head. When the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot took over Cambodia and slaughtered a third of the country’s population most of the killing was done by kids, like age 11 to 14 or so. They like killing things at that age. It is a horrible power to harness for a murderous tyrant.
