Temptation

In the recent past a Muslim mother of two was convicted of murder and adultry. She was a happily married mother with two children and the wife of a great father she was like any old muslim wife she went by all the laws and muslim religion rules. One day she had gotten the temptation for another men and committed adultry with her husbands cousin. Feeling that her husband would find out she plotted to murder him. She killed him but over time she felt the guil of the murdes so she had publicly confessed to the nation. Now being tochered and is on trial to be stoned to death for her crime.

This story links together with 1984 because you have to hide your feelings and thought even in modern life. Just so that you can make everyone happy or to make sure that the higher powers don't find out. they also link together through lust of women and men also the trying to hide it and keep it a secret.

Lifes Temptations

Temptations to change ones government has gotten people killed for years and although our times had advanced our barbaric ways have not. lebanons people are getting killed for their wants and needs of change.
Winstons want for change has led him into a sort of emotional warfare with himself "with the scarlet sash that was just tight enough to bring out the curve of her hips, the sence of his own inferiority was heavy opon him.''where he has to question his own wits. He is starting to like this julia girl but he doesen't know if he can really trust her.

Temptation

Winston's temptation to Julia is very similar to the temptation of tanning in most teens and adults with naturally fair skin. The natural bronze glow the tanning bed gives you in a short 15-20 minutes is amazing that, and it feels so good to just lay in the tanning bed on a cold winter day. The difference in the temptation to tan and Winston's temptation for Julia is that tanning is something you do, and Julia is a human being.

The temptation to tan is so hard to overcome because it makes you feel good and gives you a bronze color, but it could very well lead to a serious matter-which is skin cancer. Though Winston knows his temptations for Julia could lead him to getting in trouble with Big Brother, but he still wants to talk to her and see her whenever he can, as well as people who go tanning. They know of the serious and horrible outcome, but yet they still do it because its so tempting. Winston's temptation for Julia could lead him to getting in trouble with Big Brother, and getting vaporized, which is basically taking him off the face of the earth, as well the people who go tanning because they could eventually get skin cancer and die, which is sort of like taking them off the face of the earth also. Temptation can be okay sometimes if you are tempted to things that are good for you and will do you well in the long run.

Winston's temptation could lead to many things, if he's not careful. His temptation could get him into a lot of trouble, the woman Julia could be setting him up. Like Winston thinks, she could be the thought police or apart of the government. He could end up being vaporized, or fall deep in love with Julia and do something crazy. Winston and Julia are doing something forbidden and if they get caught they will end up being vaporized for not following the law.

I've learned that shopping can be a everyday temptation, especially going to school inside the Mall of America. Shopping can lead to debt, in most people. Because I know most people can't afford to go shopping everyday. Shopping addiction is also known as oniomania. Compulsive buying can damage relationships, families and can put you into debt. It can lead to job loss and financial problems. One in five women have reported having some sort of shopping addiction.

In Winston's case his temptation can be linked with something good and bad. He seems to be more happier than before, he is expierencing things that he normally doesn't. But it can also be a bad thing because their actions are forbidden in their society and can get them into alot of trouble.

In my case of shopping, temptaion is a good and a bad thing. For most people shopping makes them happy and releives stress. But the bad part is that you lose lots of money and might end up more stressed than before you went shopping. It just depends on how much you do it and if you can hold back the temptation.

Temptation can be okay at times, it just depends on what the consequences are for the actions and if it will be good for you in the long run. You should be able to control the temptations also.

Temptation

"Troops and tanks lockdown the capital of this tiny gulf kingdom after riot police, swinging clubs and tear gas smashed into demonstrators."-Star Tribune.

Temptation is a hard thing to handle because doing something that you dont think is ok or your not supposed to do gets you an adrenaline rush or just gives you a good feeling. Winston wants to see this girl but he does not know if he will get caught and get in trouble and that relates to my story because these people are rioting for a new president/king and they dont even know if what they are doing is going to help or just get them into trouble. Winstons temptation can lead to him being vaporized or jail whatever the gov. feels like doing to him. The protestors can eather get killed for what there doing or go to jail. Temptation is a good and a bad thing depends on what your tempted to do. Yes temptation can be a good thing say you are tempted to do a trick snowboarding or staying after to school for work but you have to ditch some plans the outcome can be alot better.

Culture Clash

The somali culture is based on the islamic religion and is very interchangable. The roots of the culture originated from the muslim world. Therefore Its clear to see what temptations the first generation somalian youth have to face when living in a county such as America. The two cultures have completely different ways of life as do most opposing culures. The main one in my opinion is religion.

Seeing as America has an array of many different religions that people practice. Christian being the main one. Somali youth including me face tempations everyday and everywhere. From mainstream media, to the schools we attend, friends we obtain and the fashion trends. there is very little intrest in maintaning a balance between the two worlds among some. on the other hand we have the complete rejection on anything concerning "America". Even though many of the somali familes have made America their permentant home and many are U.S citizens. The connection between my story and 1984 is, although you know somethings don't specifically comply with your orders or morals sometimes you just break the rules. in order to satisfy your personal pleasure

Temptation

The temptation I am gonna talk about is the one that has recently been happening in Egypt. The Egyptian people were tempting/ threatening there leader to get out of his spot and leave there county alone. The temptation in that would be the leader Hosni Mubarak had the choice to listen to his people and leave or he could stay and keep getting paid. He decided to step down due to the threats from his people.

To connect this with the book 1984 it has to do with how Winston has the temptation to tell more people about what his government is doing to them. The egyptian people did what Winston wishes he could, do but its just so early he needs more people to be able to take on such a controling government known as " Big Brother".

•"People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word."

As we have just seen in starting Book Two of 1984, Winston is experiencing a temptation in Julia that could theoretically be his downfall. Your assignment: research an act of temptation in the news or from history and conduct a 2-3 paragraph compare/contrast analysis between the real-life story of temptation you read about and Winston's new dilemma in 1984. Your post should include a creative yet appropriate title, a picture, a link to the page (NOT Wikipedia, please) where you read about your subject, a quote from 1984 that you can connect to your analysis, and your initials in the 'Labels' section. Some questions to consider when typing up your post:

• What makes temptation so alluring to the average person? How is the allure different between Winston and the subject of your research?
• Why is temptation so difficult to overcome, even when the person giving into the temptation knows it could very well lead to something terrible? Consider Winston and the subject of your research.
• What could Winston's temptation lead to if he's not careful? What about the subject of your research? Is temptation linked with something good or bad there? Can temptation be okay sometimes?
