Assignment for Monday, March 13, and Tuesday, March 14

In Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, read and annotate to pp. 183-230. From pages 188 to 204, the reading can feel slow as it explains many aspects of  Oceania's society. I think it's worthwhile to read it carefully, since this section answers many of your questions about life under the Party. Nevertheless, if you find pages 188 to 204 unbearably slow, you may skim them (notice, I wrote "skim," not "skip") and resume reading carefully at page 204.
