f) Provide examples of cancel culture in 1984.
An example of cancel culture in 1984 was when Withers brought in people he assumed that they were going against the government then one day just disappeared which he was likely canceled by the party
g) Do you believe society should be able to cancel someone?
I don’t believe society should be able to just cancel someone out of exist because they could get wrongly accused and then disappear forever which isn’t fair. Canceling someone out also comes by vote and you could get wrongly voted to be canceled.
h) Who is Withers and who is Ogilvy?
Withers is a part of the Party that one day disappeared and was most likely killed. Oglivy is a made up person in Winstons mind that is a take off of Withers Oglivy is a party guy that is the thought product of Winston.

Winston Smith is a man living in a world where the government controls everything, but he doesn’t like that idea at all. He acts out by writing in a journal which he isn’t suppose to have and these feelings he has against this government (BB) are very strong and hateful towards BB and anyone who agrees with them. He has created a strong hatred towards a girl that has done nothing wrong but wear a red sash on her waist that makes her apart of Chasity. Letting everyone know she isn’t taking part in any sexual activity which he doesn’t like due to her supporting the government. He keeps this forbidden journal in his office writing down everything he can’t say out loud or secrets he wants to remember. He knows that the government will find out one day they always do but he just doesn’t know when. Personally I don’t like the way he refers to as women and how he almost acts out on her hurtful actions towards this girl, but I do agree with him on hating the government part and not supporting how they control every part of his life.
