In 1984 what are Winston's advantages and disadvantages of being an outsider when he starts to rebel against the party?

Technically
speaking,is an insider, at least to the extent that many people in his society are.  He isn't
one of the proles, and works in the Ministry of Truth.  So, he is technically part of the
infrastructure of the government, which makes him an insider of sorts.  He has started to rebel,
in his mind and heart, long before the novel even starts.  Even from the opening pages, we see
that Winston is unhappy, questioning of the government and the way that life is, and searching
for someone like-minded to connect with. At his apartment, he has been writing down his persona,
and rather rebellious thoughts for quite some time in a journal of sorts, out of view of the
cameras.  So, his rebellion began long before we meet him at the beginning of the
novel.

His first overt act of rebellion, however, comes in his relationship
with .  Before this point, he has only looked and people and wondered about their status, and
whether they feel the same.  He never has the courage to act on it.  Julia, when she initiates,
gives Winston hope that someone else is out there who feels like he does.  Going to meet her is
his first act of open rebellion.  Before that, he had done little things like buy the journal,
visited the prole section of the city, etc.  But meeting Julia is huge, and potentially
life-threatening if discovered.

As a person who works inside of the Ministry
of Truth, Winston has a distinct advantage in knowing, first-hand, that his government lies and
changes history in order to maintain its power.  He knows this, and that information works to
his advantage in the fact that it is something that he has over the government, but it is to his
disadvantage because it irks him, and makes him unhappy and discontented to know that is being
controlled by a bunch of liars.  So, it works both ways for him.  Because he does work where he
does, it is a disadvantage because he is more closely watched.  The proles, for example, are
mostly left alone, but Winston, because he is privy to the government's secrets, is watched like
a hawk for any signs of rebellion or treachery. That is a huge disadvantage, and one that keeps
him from being happy.

He is an outsider to the inner circle of the Party, and
that is a disadvantage because he does not get the nice things, does not have the privileges
that those members do, and does not have the truth behind their plans or the power to gain his
freedom and happiness.  It is a disadvantage becuase he never knows that he is being watched,
and so acts in ways that leads to his torture.  Being an outsider to the inner party is an
advantage in the fact that he does not know their darker secrets and so can't be held
accountable for them.

I hope all of those thought helped; good
luck!

In "Barn Owl" by Gwen Harwood, what language features does Harwood use to convey her point of view? What are the main themes discussed, and how are...

Barn
Owl is part one of Gwen Harwoods poem Father and Child. Harwoods language in this piece often
embraces the tension of opposites in order to demonstrate the complexity, dynamism, and
contradiction of human experience. The first two lines utilize opposing language to convey
emerging familial divergence.

Daybreak: the household
slept.
I rose, blessed by the sun.

The household
sleeps. The child rises, symbolizing the childs first steps towards independence from the
family. The close proximity of these opposing descriptors, slept and rose, suggests that
coming-of-age moments can be abrupt. In Barn Owl, coming of age is a major theme.

Another theme is the innate brutality of life. This theme pervades much of Gwen
Harwoods work. The author demonstrates the point of view that brutality exists not just in the
adult world: it manifests in childhood as well. The child is, in fact, the source of brutality
in this poem. The owl suffers when the child goes after it with the gun. And the child realizes
how brutal she has been.

I saw
those eyes that
did not see
mirror my cruelty . . .

The
realization points to another theme in this poem: loss of innocence. The child is both young and
inexperienced; simultaneously, though, she is powerful enough to inflict suffering and end a
life.

A wisp-haired judge whose law
would punish
beak and claw.

In a single sentence, the child is at once
both wisp-haired (a youthful descriptor) and a judge, an enforcer of law and punishment.
This is another example of language that features proximal opposition.

The
linguistic and thematic coexistence of opposites comes full circle in the final stanza of the
poem. In the first stanza, the child is blessed by the sun. The child perceives the sun as
pure and positive. It is a youthful, innocent perspective. Conversely, in the final stanza, the
sun ultimately contributes to the demise of the owl:

owl
blind in early sun
for what I had begun.

The
child transmutes her own blessing into destruction, a final diametric nod to the loss of
innocence.

In
Pollock's play Walsh, the staged attack and rescue Walsh has planned for
the Easterners is both sad and ironic. And it is important that he plans it out using
toy soldiers. It speaks to the difference between what is believed about
the Northwest Territory and the Indians (as they are referred to in the play) and the
truth.

One of Walsh's greatest frustrations became his
inability to help Sitting Bull and his people, and his sense of betrayal by his own government.
In one of his letters to his wife, Mary, Walsh notes:

An
able and brilliant people have been crushed, held down, moved from place to place, cheated and
lied to...And now, they hold on here in Canada, the remnants of a proud race, and they ask for
some sort of justice...which is what I thought I swore an oath to serve!

In the scene in question, Sitting Bull has been forced to return
to the States so his people can be fedor so have promised the U.S. government officials. After a
leave of absence, Walsh returns and is planning a...

Hemingway's "" is quite an elusive and challenging story; however, arguments
can be made about the American's intentions. it's just a matter of reading between the lines. In
stories as in real life, people do not always say what they mean. Conversations can be packed
with subtext, themes and feelings unsaid.

There may not be any lines spelling
out the American's selfishness, but when one examines his behavior regarding Jig's pregnancy,
this argument can be made. Jig mentions that all they do is travel and try new drinks,
suggesting their relationship is becoming shallow and dull. She is reluctant to have an abortion
because perhaps a part of her does want to have a baby and for their relationship to get
serious.

The American's evasive manner and insistence on going back to the
way things were suggest he is only acting in his own interests. He does not care about what Jig
really wants and it could be said he is trying to convince her that deep down she
agrees...
