Thought Police

I'm currently reading this book called 1984 by George Orwell. It's quite facinationg but its to dragy, liek it explans one thing for soooooooo long that by teh time he finsihed explaining that scene you completely forget what scene he was referring to. My preliminary exams will be based on that book so i guess i have to read it even thouht i dont really want to. However, the book is interesting, its about this charatcer called Winston who lives in a totaliarian society or whatever its called. The whole palce is restriced and you can not do anythign in your free will. This alleged super power figure of "Big brother" is constantly watching over you and there are these things called "telescreens" which is like a mini TV set in every single person room, and through that TV Big brother and these people called teh thought police can see you adn yoru every move.

So now, this book is set in Lonson which is now called "Airstrip One" and English is no longer a langugae it is now "Newspeak" and its a weird jumbled version of English. If people were caught by the thought poliece they will get exicuted in public which is not that nice. But yeah that main point of my blog today is that there is this guy in my class.  He is like a thought poliece. He analyses your every move and its so freaky, its like hes reading yoru mind and all that. This guy right, he startes at you and say you just turn to see him and he just moves his glance in the most shifty way possible. At other times i see him scanning the room, wiat for it, IN SLOW MOTION. Like how the hell is thapossible? Im not joking he litteraly scanns the classroom, looks at someone for a while (whilst telepathically reading their thoughts) and then, when that person looks bakc he shifts his glance! Anyways enough about him, i have deceded to name him the Thought Police!

So now to a different topic (I really should be studying now). There is thsi very sweet afghani girl in my class. She is so sweet and very nice and is an amazing artist! Simply amazing, amazing itself in an underestimate ahha but yeah. The main thing about her i want to talk about today is her culture. Its so different to mine and the majority of the world. She was telling me the otehr day that her brothers are getting married. The facninating thing is that the wies are form pakistan (thts not the faconating thing this is) and they are 15! And her brothers are 20! Now that wont look bad when they are 20 and 25 but now it looks so weird. But not weird its like its so facninatiing how its completly normal for them to get married at that age. She herslef was telling me that she is getting married after her HSC! (WEDDING TIME) haha :P The world is such a facinating place, there are so many cultures and values if people we are yet to explore. Ive always loved teh middle east and its vastly different culture to ours. I have alot to learn from this girl. She is such a lovely girl, i wish you cyberpeople who i possibly dont know could meet her. But anywho i should really start studying i have to do Maths,Legal and Earth and Environmental Science T_____T
ciao
