... and a noted children's
photographer. Wonderland, and thus the seeds of his unanticipated success
as a writer, appeared quite casually one day as he spun an impromptu tale
to amuse the daughters of a colleague during a picnic. One of these girls
was Alice Liddell, who insisted that he write the story down for her, and

don't even know it. For example people are always being brainwashed into buying
a certain product by advertisements on the televisions or by subliminal messages.
Winston was brainwashed into conforming to the normal society by loving Big
Brother. The brainwashing in the book might be a little exaggerated but it is

are identified by a social security number same as in 1984. Many of Orwells
predictions became true but man ...
