L A WAR IS PEA CE - 'FREEDOM IS SLA VERY - Mrs Dorothy McGzvney f 'YGNORANCE IS STRENGTH The strong use of irony by Orwell. In order to thoroughly understand a book, we must first find out how the author gets his message across to us. In 1984, Orwell used the technique of irony, sarcasm, and exaggeration to get his message across. The exaggera- tion in 1984 can easily be seen in the way that Orwell ap- proaches the reader. He is exaggerating the way the world might be in the future, and how the people, laws, and schools would react to a BIG BROTHER form of government, which is completely centralized. The government is organized in four Ministries: One of love, truth, peace, and plenty. Orwell was writing a political satire because he hoped that his writings might have an effect on his readers by alerting them to the dangers that he saw. He doesn't predict : the future, he just WARNS of what might happen. ':ilX - Nancy Lewis 9A1 llllva, .I 2l!!ii ' - ill- Fuuf' N 25-I, . 0 I ::l..
