Ben and I reviewed where we had left off in Orwell's dystopian novel, '1984.' We discussed the Party's slogans and Ben was reminded that 'B'B' stands for Big Brother. We discussed the protagonist, Winston's, reaction and examined the reasons why the Party members might explain the paradoxical Party slogans. Ben was reminded that his homework is due tomorrow; he said he had a lot going on this weekend and had not done it yet, but understood it is due tomorrow. We will read the next 4 pages together tomorrow after review of his assignment.
