Question 3




* what is the mood of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?

The mood of this novel seems to be very gloomy. There seems to be no sign of people enjoying life. The mood is also suspenseful. Since everyone lives life in such an orderly fashion for fear of being arrested, people are constantly being worried about every move they make. This novels mood is so sad because there is no sign of freedom. Life is full of so many rules that it can not be enjoyed. People always have to worry about what they should do and say next. Even in peoples homes, tension exists. No one can express their true feelings. The only thing they can express is what the government wants to hear and see.
This novel saddens me because I think that people shouldn't be watched so closely. Having cameras and microphones in homes is way too far. There is no freedom. People being tortured for having a different opinion than the government isn't right or fair. People are meant to be different and think differently. That is why we aren't robots. It seems like the people have no freedom and are always filled with fear. The government seems to be like a dictatorship.
