Homework for April 23, 2020
Name______________________
level 1: answer two questions
level 2; answer three questions and cite evidence from the text
level 3: answer all questions and cite evidence from the text
George Orwell coined this phrase in the third paragraph of the first chapter of his novel “1984.” He writes, “It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU…” Later it appears on posters and television ads as a political slogan. This is political satire, and Big Brother in this story is the supreme authority of a totalitarian state called “Oceania,” where “the Party” has the highest authority over the people.
1. What does the phrase "big brother is watching you mean?
2. How was this phrase used in later years?
3. Who has the power in Oceana where the phrase was used?
