What interested me the most about this book was how people lived without freedom. It showed me how different things were compared to now. I can't imagine living such a confined life to where having personal thoughts and opinions was committing a "crime". The people were only allowed to believe what the people of the "party" believed, anything other than that was a crime. I've never even heard of "thoughtcrime" until this book, which is of course because it doesn't exist. However, my thoughts of the word itself would have gotten me locked away in the "Ministry of Love". The factor of control also plays a big role in this book. The party of Oceania had control over every aspect you can think of. As I mentioned before, the people were demanded to live this “confined” life that the party had control over. Anything from a document all the way to an event from past times was not allowed to be carried along throughout their lives. The reasoning behind this was to delete the past and all memories from each person’s past. In was in full affect for all the people of Oceania which left them forgetful and confused about the past they once experienced.
Also, the poem interested me too. The poem written by Orwell speaks of these "dreams" that he doesn't believe in. I always have some belief that dreams do come true, in some cases at least. He thinks all of the good things in life are just dreams that he will never experience. I feel as if both my explanation about freedom and about how you should follow your dreams link together. If you have the freedom you deserve, you are more likely to experience more things then a confined person whom can't express their personal opinions and thoughts. The word freedom is even a dream in some peoples cases. I think freedom drives you to dream, which is why these tie in with each other.
I feel that all three of these factors relate to one another in different ways. They all lead up to one another in someway. By being under complete control which doesn’t allow you to remember your past, will effect the way you portray dreams and experiencing them. Without the freedom that you need, dreams will be portrayed more as fantasies rather than a goal to reach. I believe these are put in the book to appreciate the things we have in life and follow your dreams.
