There was no telescreens, but there must be hidden microphones; besides they could be seen but were slightly hidden by bushes. Julia looked up but it was more of a glance than a stare.

“I betrayed you.” She said blankly.

“Why did you?” I ask, curious to know why she would engage in such a relationship with me to just rat me out.

“He forced me. He said he would tell on me if I didn't.” she says. Her shoulders slump and she looks even more fatigue. Footsteps could be heard coming toward us so I spoke up,” We need to meet again.” She perked up and her eyes pierced into mine. People didn't think of

I should have known she wouldn't feel the same way. I backed away from her and took off down the street. I headed to my apartment furious, upset, and rejected. In the apartment, I slump in my desk chair and stare at the telescreen that I knew was watching. I can't live like this any longer so quietly I repeat the words that I so clearly remember.

“Down with Big Brother, down with Big Brother.” I say. It started out as a whisper until I was full blown yelling.

“Down with Big Brother, Down with Big Brother.” I repeat.

I was standing now throwing my fiat repeatedly in the air. I knew they were watchung. I knew they were listening. I knew they were coming. I sat back down in my chair and awaited their arrival.

    “I’m Detective Grey and this is Dr. Kathryn Bohemian. I want to start off to let you guys know that you aren't in any trouble, we just need some information on your friend Christian.” She studied the group in front of her: Hailey Trooper, Becky Rimes, Celina Moore, Tristan Reese, and an older woman whom she presumed to be Tristian’s mother. She studied the teens, Hailey and Celina both had short brown hair and braces, and the glimmer in their brown eyes reminded Heather of her wild and reckless days.

    ‘1984’ is written by George Orwell and follows the character Winston throughout his life and his constant struggles with the party fabricating truth, changing truth and controlling truth.

Nowadays I think of these trenches as holding cells for prisoners, the site I am guaranteed to spend the remaining months of my life in until i am eventually exhausted and then we are killed like some pack of mice in laboratory experimentation.…

    The long, peculiar note of a bugle sounded, borne to us on the raw morning air to interrupt our conversation. It rose with a low, clear, warble, and seemed to float in the gray sky like the note of a lark. As it died away, I perceived that the atmosphere had changed; despite the equilibrium established by the storm, it was dynamic. The men thrust forward their heads, expanded their eyes and clenched their teeth. They breathed arduously, as though strangled by yanking at the leash.…

    It was a quiet Friday at Henry’s. There were only five customers scattered around the restaurant.

Both George and Lennie were, in the back of the restaurant, working. George was cleaning dishes, while Lennie was trying his best to mop.…
