1. Vonnegut's message seems to say that individual civil rights should never be sacrificed the alleged common good. Do you see examples of this in 1984? Comment on both.

2. Vonnegut shows what extraordinary strength can do: defy the laws of gravity and motion; but Vonnegut also shows that strength can be used to oppress the weak, even in the name of protecting the weak against the excesses of the strong. Is this the case in 1984? Support with examples from both.

In anticipation for spoken word poetry tomorrow, here's a little poem I wrote:

Quiz Monday for part 2 of Nineteen Eighty Four

If you ain't prepared don't even show up at my door.

Not trying to scare you or freak you out,

but showing up unprepared is not what English 12's about.

If you're 'over' Big Brother and hating this novel,

I can't make you like it by now and won't grovel.

It's almost all over; the final scene's left to play,

So hang in there: soon 'Eighty Four will go away.

But till then you've got questions to do for 'ten',

And don't forget those journals, ladies and gentlemen.
