"Big Brother" in Himalaya
Putting it all together:
Literature as Social Commentary
Your assignment
Apply a theme from Orwell's 1984 to the reality of Tibet. Use your notes and information gleaned from the exercises as a start for your academic searching. Follow the guidelines on note taking and source analysis. Remember, don’t simply restate facts. Analyze them and discuss “How” and “Why” this information matters.
