ik but that doesn't dismiss the fact that uni is significantly better than school, yea you get more freedom, but it still feels like a blockage from total freedom, its just a glorified prison sentence

nah uni is great

I got lucky, i was sick right after trials before i started studying so ig I’m not due to get sick for another while. Not sure if that’s how it works but it seems to work like that for me

i yapped a lot about historical context in mine, linking it to my themes of hope, individuality, and repression and my teachers said they really liked it. if u have lots of historical context then link it to the story being a sort of cautionary warning to readers about totalitarianism i think it shows that you understand the meaning of the book and orwells intentions

eg in mine i talked about stalinist policies linking it to the memory hole, orwells work as a propagandist for BBC during WW2 and the atomisation of society similar to nazi germany

i think maybe historical context of Orwell and the world during the time he wrote 1984 may help show more depth and understanding in your essay especially if you link it to your points/themes well so it can also be like evidence. if u do modern history it can especially help since theres a lot of similarities between the power and authority topic and the book

Is someone potentially willing to critique and help me with my 1984 essay? 16/20 was the best I got for 1984 and I'm not too sure on how to improve.
