    1984 is a dystopian novel written by George Orwell right after world war

    ii, it was published in 1949 as a warning to his readers, where it was based
    upon two totalitarian dictatorships, Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. The story
    is set almost 40 years in the future in the country of Oceania, where Winston,
    the protagonist of the novel rebels against the party in charge, fighting for the
    last shred of humanity he has left.
    The excerpt takes place in the beginning of the novel when Winston was
    writing in his diary, an act punishable by death, and is interrupted by a knock
    on his door, Winston opens the door fearfully, assuming that the Thought
    Police have arrived to arrest him for writing in the diary, however its only mrs.
    Parsons who asks him to unclog her sink because her husband, Tom Parsons
    wasn’t home. The parsons are Winston’s neighbors, where tom is a member of
    the party and works with Winston in the ministry of truth. He is married to
    Mrs. Parsons, and they both have suspicious, ill-mannered children who are
    members of the junior spies. Winston then leaves his diary, accepts, and goes
    to parson’s flat only to find that it was a complete mess, “as though the place
    had just been visited by some large violent animal,” where Mrs. Parsons
    explains that it’s because of their children, since she didn’t allow them to go to
    a public hanging of some of the party’s enemies. This shows how poorly the
    parsons raise their children and how they might even be afraid of them since
    they are part of the junior spies, an organization of children who monitor
    adults for disloyalty to the party and frequently succeed in catching them,
    where they even accused Winston of thoughtcrime.
