Either before or after writing your post, publish two comments on any classmates' blog posts on 1984 thus far. Be sure to include your initials in each comment so I know it was written by you. Comments should be 1-2 sentence detailed opinions (not simply 'good post' or 'I agree').
For your second blog post on 1984, focus on the theme of privacy. Offer two examples from our modern world that link back to the topic at hand: 1) how do we/you retain privacy in today's hyper-surveilled world and why is it a necessity? and 2) when/where is our/your right to privacy most significantly invaded by the government, the media, and/or other organizations?
In your post, as you answer these questions, also include a connection back to the characters/events of 1984 with a quote (and page number in parentheses). Consider what is different/similar between the real world and what Orwell predicted a future without privacy might look like. Finally, be sure to end your post with 2 open-ended questions regarding what you wrote about for classmates to answer. BONUS points if you use a vocab word from the first half of the book in your post. Must be bolded to catch my attention and earn extra credit.
Don't forget to put your initials in the 'Labels' section of your post before you publish it!
