any kind of help is much appriciated!
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

i read the book, very thouroughly,
it does have to do with gay marriage because you can relate back to Winston and Julia's "forbidden relationship" and how just sex in general is frowned upon and how everything must be uniform.... i just need a little more ideas

Wikipedia has a pretty indepth article.
And I don't think their love is any more forbidden than free will is.

Posted: 8/9/06 at 6:42pmThis is one of my favorite books as well. This really doesn't strike me as a tough assignment... just focus on the infringement on personal freedoms in both cases and the powers that be feeling threatened by individualism/deviation from the status quo. The anti-sex, period, stance of the government is also relevant, but you have to look into the reasoning behind it. Beyond that, you're on your own.

I think the dieas you have are good, just elaborate on them. Just explain as thoroughly as you can. When I write papers, I usually have three or four main points that I just explain the hell out of and it turns out fine.
I have mastered the ways of bull****ting a paper ;P
