are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? what are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
North Koreans are similar to the story, in my opinion. They are caught by the country. They can't do what they want to do. Also they are poor, so they need to starve days and days. If they do anything that looks like a spy, they have to be caught and tortured. There are some North Koreans coming to South Korea secretly crossing the rivers. They want to get new lives that are more hopeful and comfortable mentally and physically. The novel also make the people follow their commands and do what what the government make them to do. They can't even buy an object they want to buy without any permission. Winston bought a diary secretly and wrote diary, trying not to be caught by the thoughtpolice. The novel doesn't give any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed", and I don't think North Korea would be changed even though there comes out a book about the solution.

I like how you related the story to the novel. I of course think about division of Korea very seriously. There are a lot of problems about unification. Also, in these days, many North Koreans are coming to South Korea because North Korean have a lot problems. There are problems as political problems and poverty problems. I hope these problem gets better.
Perfect analogy. You have grasped the essence of the novel. Mrs.Mc.
