V for violence
violence kills
"Violence can be used for good"
V said "Violence can be used for good" to Evey when they were at his safehouse. This quote relates to the dystopian society in many ways. In the movie violence was used to enforce the rules and put fear in people's mind. same in some countries across the world they use violence to enforce rules to prevent people from acting out.
School Sonnet
School Bell
I'm always running to beat the bell
sprinting to look for my month old pass
The bells help us not fail
But they also help fill up ISS
I try to come earlier
But the school bell has us calling S.O.S.
which has me thinking sooner than later
I'd be better off skipping
because now i have to serve restricted lunch
I'd rather be running
Than eating my lunch in silence
School bells are apart of dictatorship
And this school is a dystopian world
U.S.topia
Communist countries like China, have limited rights with no freedom of speech, religion, or freedom of the press. China is the closet thing to a dystopian country in present day life. Communism will one day spread across to every city and country and will turn into a dystopian world similar to the book.
A modern day example is the Edward Snowden Leak. Edward Snowden leaked government information to China from the U.S.A. He has been charged with 3 offenses all of which are very serious."The US indicted him on three charges, including two under the Espionage Act: theft of government property, unauthorized communication of national defense information and willful communication of classified intelligence to an unauthorized person, with a possible combined sentence of up to 30 years in jail. Further charges could be added". "His supporters in Germany, including prominent members of the Green party, are pushing for him to be granted asylum in the country, given the service they say he has done in revealing the scale of surveillance, particularly the secret US monitoring of Angela Merkel's mobile phone".
As the article Big Brother is watching you is a prime example of our world being dystopia like. The people of India now have the right to stalk their love ones or whatever they feel the need to do. The chief political executive of a province allows Indians to have the ability to stalk whoever they choose. "Crime control unit of the Gujarat police were ordered to monitor every movement and conversation of an adult woman for no credible security reason". India just keeps an eye on women for no good reason. Knowing that most stalkers are either obsessed or have an extreme hate for one another this is still legal.
We are living in a growing dystopian world and year by year its growing more and more. The government is running the world and are keeping secrets from the people for unknown reasons. The government has to much power and this is a world wide affect. Some citizens try to rebel but get put down with efforts to send a message.

2+2=5
The song 2+2=5 also known as “The Lukewarm” was first premiered in San Sebastian, Spain on July 31, 2002 performed by Radiohead. This single was a part of the album called Hail to the Thief and a year later in 2003 2+2=5 made it to number 15 in the UK singles chart.
2+2=5 should be the theme song for 1984 because in a way it gives a direct quote from the book, and also talks about January having April showers. As we all know January is still winter time so it couldn’t be raining in the first place. It would be to cold and it does not snow as often as it rains in April. So this connection to the book would be like Goldstein saying he can float as easy as a bubble. Goldstein also said everything revolves around the earth, including the sun and every other planet, as if earth was the center of attention. 2+2=5 the single could directly quote O’Brian when at the end of the book he said the same “2+2=5” because the party wants it. Even though it makes no sense and has no reasonable explanation behind it.
The song talks about how the government (which would be the party in this case) runs the world. The party has all the power possible, they put so much fear into people it makes them do right and even turn against their own families. Like O’Brian’s daughter told the thought police on him closer to the beginning of the book.
Lyrics:
Are you such a dreamer
To put the world to rights
I'll stay home forever
Where two and two always makes a five
I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April showers
And two and two always makes a five
It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because you're not there
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
yeah I feel it, I needed attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Yeah I need it, I needed attention
I needed attention
I needed attention
I needed attention
Yeah I love it, the attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Soon oh
I try to sing along
But the music's all wrong
Cos I'm not
Cos I'm not
I'll swallow up flies?
Back and hide
But I'm not
Oh hail to the thief
Oh hail to the thief
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
Don't question my authority or put me in the box
Cos I'm not
Cos I'm not
Oh go up to the king, and the sky is falling in
But it's not
But it's not
Maybe not
Maybe not
