well today i got the sac quedstion an wrote some notes today during class and have 40 min tomorrow to write more.
topic is---Orwell shows how language can be used as  tool of oppression in nineteen eighty four. discuss?

my paragraphs are
1) abut newspeek and oldspeek not sure what i can talk about her,
2)the way the party controls the society through propaganda and double think.
3) just like other things that oppress society, eg telescreans.

though im thinking i should have a paragraph about how its a physiological oppression.

Hey :)
Thank god my 1984 sac is over. Definitely a relief when its over.
Ok well for this I would make sure to focus on language specifically otherwise your teacher could get picky that you got off topic. Telescreens are more with surveillance so when mentioning them be sure to relate it back to language.  You could certainly use them  to discuss Winston in the Ministry of Love towards the end of the novel, how the telescreen yells at him and other prisoners.
You should use heaps of quotes from Syme's speech on newspeak for the first one. your ideas are pretty good.
Hope this helps :) I would write more but I've got chem homework to do haha.
