Answer:

Newspeak, doublethink, and The mutability of the past

Explanation:

1. Newspeak. Newspeak is the official language of all party members, as the purpose is to eliminate all thoughtcrime.

2. Doublethink. Doublethink is very common amongst the Party, and quoting from CliffNotes, “doublethink is the act of holding, simultaneously, two opposite, individually exclusive ideas or opinions and believing in both simultaneously and absolutely. Doublethink requires using logic against logic or suspending disbelief in the contradiction.” The three slogans inside the novel, “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” and “Ignorance is Strength,” are all examples of doublethink.

3. The mutability of the past. As Orwell writes in the beginning chapters III and IV, Winston encounters in his memory that Oceania actually allianced with Eurasia and fought against Eastasia, yet all broadcasts of the party suggests that Oceania had always done the vice versa. Also, he and his comates have had no memory of Big Brother until very lately, yet documentations have stated that Big Brother has been influencing Oceania since the 1930s.

How would you explain the reluctance of the soldiers to leave the shelter of the doctors house even when he knew he couldn't sta
Tasya [4]

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is related to "The Enemy".

Answer:

Because the shelter at the doctor's house gave the soldier comfort and compassion, which he would not find if he returned to combat.

Explanation:

When the soldier arrived at the doctor's house, he was highly injured, weak, tired and very traumatized by all the horrors he witnessed in the war and by all the abuses he suffered at the hand of the enemy army. However, the doctor's family took care of his injuries, showed him compassion and friendship, gave him comfort and security. The soldier did not want to lose those good feelings that the doctor's house allowed him to feel and he knew that if he left the house, he would have to return to the horrors of the fight and for that reason, he was reluctant to leave the doctor's house, even putting all the family in danger.
