Anorexia .

People transform in many different ways. For example people who become Anorexic. People who suffer from Anorexia have an intense fear of gaining weight. They severley limit the amount of food they eat and become dangerously thin. Anorexia effects both the body and mind. It may start as dieting, but it gets out of control. All they think about is food weight and dieting all of the time. They have a distorted body image. To people around them they look way too thin, but when they look in the mirror they see a fat person.

In Metamorphisis, Gregor wakes up transformed into a cockroach. A cockroach symbolizes filth, and sneakyness. It seems to me that throughout Gregors life he has been sneaky and not very nice to people. Just focusing on his job which he doesnt even like. Anorexic people may have some simlilarity in relating with Gregor because he has transformed just as they have transformed. Gregor may have did things in his life for this to happen to him. As for the Anorexic people they do it to themselves everyday.

Smiley Face Killers .

The Smiley Face Killers are a cult of men in Minnesota. They are a powerful group of men who target male college students who have a lot going for them. They have gotten away with a lot of murders, due to no one finding out who is involved and who they are. These men must have a lot of power to do what they do, and not just one man is running this cult-there are several. Just like in the society Winston is living in. There is a higher power "Big Brother", but Big Brother has many, many people working for him which makes him even more powerful. This can be very dangerous, because if you try to rebel and take one man out of this Oligarchical government, there's always another to replace him. And with The Smiley Face Killers, if you are on of their victims, it is more than likely that hen they do find you and get you, you will not get away or have a chance of life. Another thing is the Smiley Face Killers enjoy torturing these college males. They will put them in the back seat of vans and drive around for hours and do torturous things to these men before they kill them which is usually by drowning. Just like the oligarchical government is doing to Winston and the proles. They are torturing them by taking away the life as they once knew it, and making them suffer, and when they get a chance to rebel, they kill (vaporize) them. To sum this up the Smiley Face Killers are basically an Oligarchy government just like the one that is controlling the life Winston lives.

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.
