https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220572 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 Selection of detail - Orwell purposefully tells the reader that he is for the Burmese, but throughout the rest of the novel, contradicts this. This detail is stated to show the reader that Orwell is following orders, and nothing more. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220497 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220497 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 Diction - the use of the word "glimpse" shows the reader that by living underneath a powerful government, a small look into the true nature is a gift. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220374 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220374 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 Diction is used to show the reader the horrific situations of prisoners, shows the reader the amount of guilt speaker has. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220330 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220330 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 Diction, used "sneering" and "hooted" to portray burmans in a negative light https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220316 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220316 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 George Orwell shows the reader how scary of an idea it is to completely lose the ability to articulate oneself. The goal of the party is to control the language so no one can even think against them, and that is what Orwell is afraid of, loss of thought. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213014 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213014 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 One of the most important things to remember is to get help. Help is vital to having a healthy quarantine. Try to ensure that you can help others if possible and give back to those who have been hit hard by the quarantine. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235876?scroll_to=2136698 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235876?scroll_to=2136698 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 One of the biggest factors to counteract the mental deterioration of people in quarantine is to stay social. Keep in touch with people who are close to you and ensure that those around you stay close by for help if needed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235876?scroll_to=2136669 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235876?scroll_to=2136669 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 Same as what I said in my YV article, that with this pandemic, mental health has declined in a majority of U.S. adults. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235876?scroll_to=2136592 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235876?scroll_to=2136592 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 I agree, that it is really sad to see the latest generation of kids unable to live a proper childhood, but rather be bound to a screen. This is probably what our parents think when they look at us in high school now with social media and technology. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131010 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131010 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 I personally disagree with the idea that parents should be responsible for taking away the phones of their children. In my experience, when phones are taken away, the original purpose of socializing on their phones turn to do nothing or stress-eating. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130979 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130979 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 I agree with the author in their claim that more time spent on social media can lead to a generally less happy population. I've noticed trends like these around me in my school, those who take time to experience life feel happier than those who don't. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130964 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130964 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500 I agree with the author that having constant access to a phone with social media, and worrying about keeping up a positive face for others who use social media can be detrimental to the mental health of teenagers. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130906 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130906 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:52:26 -0500
