Writing Assignment with pp. 1-38 of Nineteen Eighty-Four

Type your response to the following:

Nineteen Eighty-Four
is narrated from a third-person point of view, which nevertheless provides a lot of information about Winston. Write one or two good paragraphs that analyze the narrator's tone so far. Be sure to use the list of tone words (posted to the right) to find one or more descriptive words. With this tone in mind, do you find that you trust the narrator so far?

As you develop your response, keep in mind that, in academic writing, any good paragraph makes one good point and supports that point with direct and specific evidence.

Also, prepare two questions about the reading for class. (You must type these, too.)
