Reactions to Wag The Dog

My reactions to Wag The Dog is the question " how do you know if anything is true anymore?". The Movie Producer and Coach changed history and viewpoints of everyone in the world. Two normal human beings did this. This tells me that society is easy to control. It also leads to asking myself the question that "how do you know if anything is true anymore?". "How do know for sure if 9/11 happened with terrorist or did it"?, "Why are we actually in Iraq"?, "Are the history books we read made up or real". From watching this movie I learned that if you want to find out if something is true for sure your gonna have to search for it yourself. People in our society read headlines on newspapers and believe it's true right on the spot. This also tells me that people in our society believe anything thats on any type of news media such as a newspaper, article on internet, News on T.V.

Part III Chapters III and IV Questions

1)O'Brien is a member of the Thought Police, do you think he can actually read Winston's mind? Did O'Brien actually permeate Winston's dream all those years ago? Explain your answer.

In my opinion, I believe that O'Brien can read Winston's mind because he can say things that are happening in Winston's mind at any moment. He repeats everything Winston thinks. It as if he controls Winston's mind. He made him believe 2 + 2 = 5. He convinced him that "Freedom is Slavery". He is a member of the Thought police so obviously he can read Winston's because the Thought Police are capable of reading minds. I believe that every person part of The Thought Police is The Inner Party.

2)O'Brien has made it clear the Party will kill Winston at some point. We know they want folks to understand and believe before they die, but.....if they are not going to release these people back into society, why do they bother with the time and expense of the torture and "rehabilitation"?

I think they want folks to believe that so they can confess.Afterwards instead of killing them they "cure" them. They make Thought criminals believe everything that the Inner Party assigns them to believe and know. The Inner Party wants the criminals to love Big Brother, believe in NewSpeak, and Double Think .

3)What's in Room 101? The most impressive answers will be those consisting of just one sentence.

I believe in room 101 is your worst nightmare which in Winston's case is rats.
