Socratic Seminar is always a fun group activity that is held every time we read a novel. I have had the privilege of experiencing many Seminars because of AP english. You’d think with such experience i would contribute but, no. I love the experience hearing everyone perspective and how each of us view the book differently or perhaps the same. I always want to speak out but in the back of my head something is telling me no don't speak you'll sound like a fool. I've always been horrible at speaking in large groups but when its a small group i cant stop talking.
Lets get to the point. As a class everyone kept bringing up how Big Brother is almost like us with surveillance. Although they may have some similarities we are by far away from being like big brother. big brother takes their surveillance to a how new level unlike the government ever since our 9/11 attack they just want to be more cautious and protecting our nation. We still have somewhat “privacy” and freedom . Oceania people don't have that privilege they are being manipulated and controlled. Their surveillance isn't benefiting them rather Big brother ( in order for them to keep control).
I wish i would have contributed more in the Seminar. Maybe, i would have had more to discuss.
