1984 - Science fiction examples that are not fiction anymore

1984 - George Orwell

    1984 is an incredible book that depicts a dystopian society in which a Party rules over people’s lives. The landscape and the life presented in the book cause the reader depression, sadness, and fear feelings toward this worrisome fictional world. In the book, there are many dystopian science-fiction examples that I do not consider fiction anymore, but there is one that seems critical to me. The control of the Party or government over people’s lives presented in the book can be related to the manipulation companies and governments do today. In the book 1984, the Party devised a technological monitoring system named the telescreen through which they manipulated and brainwashed society. An example of this manipulation happens when the Party tells people that the standard of living has increased. Definitely, the purpose of this lie was to show society the positive side of the government. In today’s reality, companies try to influence us through TV and social media to buy their products by only showing us their positive features. Moreover, governments also use this technology to show us only their positive work. Their goal is to manipulate us into thinking that they are great leaders and need to remain in power.

Lady Chatterley's Lover - Collage

    Lady Chatterley's Lover is the story of a woman called Constance who began to feel less in love with her husband and entered into a passionate love affair with her husband's educated gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors.

COLLAGE

    I decided to build my collage with these pictures of the most important scenes of Lady Chatterley’s Lover because each of them illustrates the events of the love affair between Connie and Mellors. In the first picture, we can see the day Connie saw Mellors for the first time. The second picture represents the day Connie went to Mellors’ cottage and saw him shirtless, awakening in her different sensations. In the third picture, we can perceive the day Connie discovered a hut near a spring where she found Mellors. Pictures 5 and 6 represent the evening when Connie went to the clearing, found Mellors closing up the chicken coops, and held a young chick. On this day, they had sex for the first time. The pictures we have from here transmit how Connie and Mellors became closer, strengthening their relationship. Picture eleven illustrates the moment when Connie tells Mellors about her plan to leave Clifford after returning from her Venice trip. In picture twelve, we can see the start of Connie’s trip to Venice. During this trip, Connie received two letters in which she read that Mellors was fired and her love affair was not secret anymore. The following pictures represent Clifford’s divorce rejection when Connie returned from her trip. Finally, the last picture represents the hope Connie and Mellors have to be one day together. Each picture is essential to convey the meaning of my collage and transmit this love affair.
