Close Reading Practice #1: Winston’s Dream

Take your examination of Winston’s dream (114.5-115.4) and turn it into a mini-essay. Transform your initial analysis of Orwell’s use of imagery, symbolism, or both into a thesis statement using the format below.

In [title of text], [the author] uses [literary device] in order to emphasize the importance of [state important idea that the author is trying to convey].

Each phrase or sentence you selected and explained will become a separate paragraph. Add concluding thoughts at the very end in a separate paragraph (this can be one sentence if done well).

Type up your close reading and email to devin@ucla.edu before class begins on Monday.
