1984

                     In the book 1984, the party has such a great influence on the people living in Oceania, even kids. This can be concluded after reading '"Up with your hands!" yelled a savage voice. A handsome, tough-looking boy of nine had popped up from behind the table and was menacing him with a toy pistol..."You're a traitor!" yelled the boy. "You're a though criminal! You're a Eurasian spy! I'll shoot you, I'll Vaporize you, I'll send you to the salt mines!"...and denounced his parents to the thought police.' (Orwell 22-4). Kids living in Oceania actually praised the party and worshiped Big Brother. They followed every rule and were against every enemy: foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, though-criminals. These enemies often included their own parents! They actually told on their parents! These kids were often referred to as 'child hero' in the Times, which was a newspaper written in the world of Oceania. This comes to show that the party influenced their society so much, that even newer generations were born liking the party and being faithful to it. It takes a lot of nerve to tell on someone when you know that telling on them will get them killed, and the kids in 1984 did this to their own parents. Based on this passage, you can also notice how brainwashed these kids are since they want to go and see the hanging of Eurasian Prisoners.
