2-3 parallels between the book 1984 by George Orwell and real life, examples that you could use is the lack of privacy which you could compare with the current issue with the NSA and also how the news in real life starts and the 2-min hate in the book are both used to manipulate emotion. these are 2 examples of parallels with the book and real life you must include direct quotes from the book and also i would like it if you added a third example which you found in the book itself. It is a personal essay where i have to portray my personal perceptions, reactions and thoughts so by adding these examples comment on them.
