Elizabeth Williams Honors English 12 8/9/10 Brainwashing: 1984 In 1984 the party had complete totalitarian control over the citizens of Oceania. All of the current events, political figures, and even daily schedules were determined and changed by the government. Nothing was ever accounted for as what it truly was.

The piece begins with a rhetorical question asking readers “where do we go now after the High Court decision and the political impasse?” This has an effect of including readers and making them active members in the “hysterical … debate surrounds boats and people smuggers”. The writers are critical of the government’s ability to “defend and develop good policy”, insisting that it is in “daily crisis mode”.

Furthermore, the ballot box in the visual that is presented alongside the piece represents that the piece is targeted predominantly at voters; Menadue and Keski-Nummi utilise their authoritative background in insisting that voters are possessive of the power to influence certain government policies that the writers are critical
The march consisted of about two-hundred miles and started in Ashram Ahmadabad and ended at the Arabian Sea. They marched to boycott the ridiculous taxing on salt. "After a 24-hour long march to the Indian Ocean, Gandhi picked up a few pieces of salt - a signal to the rest of the sub-continent to do the same" (The 1930 Salt March). Well over fifty-thousand Indians were arrested and taken to jail due to all the salt laws they broke with civil disobedience. Absolutely nothing was changed directly after the Salt March but it proved that the key to Independence was to be peaceful with the use of non-violence.
Ryan was forced to respond to them and launched an investigation. Jim Jones wanting to end the interference by the government, granted the congressman permission to visit Jonestown and on November 17, 1978 he did. Because living conditions for the members of People’s Temple were deteriorating, Congressman Ryan was approached during the investigation by a few members of the now recognized cult, requesting to take them back to the United States, a request he agreed to. At an isolated airstrip on the 18th, gunmen from Jonestown ambushed Congressman Ryan's party. Leo J. Ryan and four others were killed immediately, some of the Ryan party escaped into the jungle.
