Social Action Reading Question #1: What Difficult of Complex Things are Happening in the Text

   In the book "1984" by George Orhwell, socialism has flooded Earth and the world is split into three major states, Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. The land of Oceania is home to our main character, Winston Smith, who is an anxious young man who works for the governing group of Oceania, "the party". The Party is a socialist political party that controls all of former Western Europe, Russia, and Australia. The policies they implement are highly against our nation's constitution, however, the Socialism in the world has been around for so long that virtually all of the constitution in our country could be deemed treasonous by the Party. For example, the government can alter past and present pieces information that could be found in libraries and other areas to obtain information. In fact, Winston works for that department, despite recently realizing the wrong and injustice he's been taught to commit.
  The book was not actually written in 1984 however, but in 1944. In 1944, World War Two was just ending. One really big and difficult, complex thing that is going on in the book is the spread of communism through the USSR. I could easily point out several symbols to lead me to that conclusion. One major one being that "Big Brother", the head of the Party, could symbolize Joseph Stalin. Also, if you really think back to World War Two, England and Russia never really got along until years after. So it's possible between World War Two and the Cold War that Russia took over all of Europe and Australia. Another difficult and complex thing that's going on is the segregation of lower class beings. The book mentions proles, people who work laborious jobs, live shorter lives,  and basically live the life of the lower class. However, they never chose their fate. It was determined by them through genetic relationships to the old inhabitants of England.
