BOOK 1984
In Section Two, Chapter IV, Winston hears a washerwoman sing a popular song produced by a subsection of the Music Department of the Ministry of Truth using a machine called a âversificator.â Later, in Section Two, Chapter X, just before he is arrested, he hears her sing it again. The text gives us two verses, in the dialect of the proles, which drops initial âhâ sounds and turns long âa'' sounds into something that sounds like âeyeâ:
It was only an âopeless fancy;
It passed like an Ipril dye,
But a look anâ a word anâ the dreams they stirred
They âave stolen my âeart awye!â
They sye that time âeals all things,
They sye you can always forget;
But the smiles anâ the tears across the years
They twist my âeartstrings yet!
Winston thinks of this song as ârubbishâ but finds it strangely moving anyway. What does this song mean in the context of the novel? Why write it in dialect? How can something written by a machine take on such a human quality? Why does Orwell include it twice?

" as we passed. another boy who walked with us sometimes and made us five wore a black silk handkerchief across his face because he had no nose then and his face was to be rebuilt. he had gone out to the front from the military academy and been wounded within an hour after he had gone into the front line for the first time. they rebuilt his face, but he came from a very old family and they could never get the nose exactly right. he went to south america and worked in a bank. but this was a long time ago, and then we did not any of us know how it was going to be afterward. we only knew then that there was always the war, but that we were not going to it any more." 19 select the correct answer. what important fact about the wounded soldiers is reflected by the repetition of the bolded sentences in the excerpts from "in another country" by ernest hemingway? a. it establishes the irony that, although the wounded soldiers have physically left the warfront, the war continues to haunt them psychologically. b. it shows the gradual loss of hope and growing depression of the wounded soldiers and their need for distractions. c. it establishes the wounded soldiersâ determination to shun war and disobey military commands to return to the front after they recover. d. it shows the wounded soldiersâ sadness and disappointment at the lack of gratitude from the people they risked their lives to protect. e. it shows the wounded soldiersâ belief that the war would never end, even as thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded and sent to hospitals. reset next
