TANNER
1. Write an essay in which you explore HOW (examples) and
WHY (what your examples prove) Orwell uses symbolism in 1984.
2. Some feel that 1984
had much relevance at the time that it was written, but now has very little
relevance. Write an essay in which you
agree or disagree with the idea that the novel is no longer significant to our
society. Although this prompt requires
you to comment and bring in examples for the modern world, the bulk of the
essay should focus on the novel itself.
3. Write an essay in which you explain whether or not
Winston is a hero. Explain your answer
with a thorough definition of what a hero is and specific examples that
demonstrate how Winston does or does not match the definition.
4. 1984 is a cautionary tale. Write an essay in which you thoroughly
explain what Orwell is cautioning us against.
5. The novel, indirectly and perhaps without the author even
intending it, makes some powerful statements about the roles (or potential
roles) of women in society. Write an
essay in which you explore the role of women in the novel and what the
significance of your observations might be.
