1984 is a novel that deals with the issues of totalitarian government. George Some of the examples we may fin in Orwell's work are:
- Individuals have <u>no privacy</u>, because they are watched at all time, even in their homes. Even inside the apartment, Winston, the main character, is well aware that the Big Brother and the telescreens are watching.
- The creation of institutions like "Thoughtcrime" that are in charge of <u>spying for the government</u> so as to make sure no individual is acting outside the Big Brother's law.
- <u>Propaganda</u> and programs like the "Two Minutes Hate" one that unify the society's emotion so that the government can control them all.
1. flying
As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."
2. B. Clapping wildly.
Clapping wildly is the participial phrase. It describes the audience. Option C contains the main verb of the sentence "shouted" so this is not a participial phrase. Option D has an infinitive "to come".
3. cat
The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.
The theme of the novel that this excerpt best address is "Man and the natural world". In other words, how humans can see animals as a terrible monster for their own benefit. In this chapter, in particular, there are some rumors of Moby D. circulating among the whalemen, rumors that tend to put Moby D. as the most terrible monster of them all, capable of maiming and killing anyone, an evil creature (<em>malicious</em>) that will kill if he encounters anyone on his path. Also, Ahab talks about Moby D. as the worst and cruelest monster.
It's important to know that Moby D. is not an ordinary whale, it is very large and strange looking, his whiteness is very particular and the same goes to his jaws that are misshapen. Even if it has these tremendous characteristics its still a whale but in this book it's more like a mystical and fantasy character. It usually hard to find even if it has very clear characteristics.
In the excerpt "<em>monomaniac</em>" means an irrational concern with a single idea or object. We can see this idea reflected on Ahab's behavior as he wants to hunt and kill Moby D. because it would be a symbolic victory against the cruelty of this monster.
