Living in a world full of deceit, ignorance, and suppression is very difficult to express yourself. In 1984 the society is heavily suppressed. Every thought, move and very action is constantly monitored with immense consequences to disobedience. Living in the world of 1984 is not completely out of the question because if you were to travel to Hitler’s 1930’s reign one would experience similar laws and regulations.
The struggle for Winston to survive in a world full of deception is improbable as he must live in a world that has no freedom and no self-determination. Winston tried to successfully disobey the party however Winton’s rebellion was soon squashed as the party successfully accomplished everything it had wanted. The party was able to convert the minds of each individual to only loving the party not any other personality. Putting forward agencies that control every aspect of life made it impossible for the freedom of citizens as everyone feared vaporization.
In all of the drama and excitement in the novel it was a very good reminder to the reader that the current world should not be taken granted of. The world of 1984 was not much different during the interwar period of World War I and World War II. If man does not step up and work hard for mans freedom all we will do is just go back to the doctorial times of the 30’s.

+ strong structure & intro
- a little repetitive in the body (avoid "live a world" repetition)
++++
+ interesting start/intro and i liked how you tried to leave further thought at the end w/ your conclusion.
+ Good vocab that draws you in... like deceit and suppression.
- It doesn't flow as well as it could, ie. use more transition sentences like at the end of your intro leading into your talk about Winston.
- It's not as clear as it could be. Ex. you suddenly mention vapourization at the very end without introducing it.
