1984 - settings

There were lots of settings in the novel 1984. The most disgusting room is “Room 101.” This is the room where you get torture by your horror. Not anything physical but horror that is inside of you. Sometimes horror can make people crazy and takes over control of bodies. That is why people see ghosts if they really believe and be scared. I haven’t been really tortured by something I hate. If I had seen ghost, which I am most afraid of, I probably had ended up in mental hospital. I would never ever want to end up in Room 101. I always thought room 101 will be filled with torture machine like Chinese water torture or putting them into small box where they can’t even move at all. That guy who invented “Room 101” is a genius!
Also most beautiful place in 1984 is church where Julia had taken Winston. There weren’t any telescreen to watch them (I guess), and they were free to do whatever they want. That place is one of the few places that don’t have any telescreen. Places like this were really hard to find because telescreen was basically everywhere. I think that is why that makes this place meaningful and beautiful. Even now days there are cameras everywhere. Only place that doesn’t have camera is bathroom. I had many memories in bathroom when I was young. That was the only place me and my friends were allowed to play and yell besides outside. The place where Julia found will have many memories as my memories in bathroom. If the place has lots of memories, then that place is memorable and important to you. For me, PAHS is more memorable than my house.

I so totally agree with you on Room 101. It is in fact one of the most horrifying places I've ever heard of. I would never want to place myself there, let alone be forced to do any interaction with my greatest fear. I agree with most of the things you have said in your entry, but the sentence "not anything physical but horror that is inside of you" is not exactly what I think. Yes, facing your horros might influence you or affect you in not only a physical way, but also in a mental way, but the horrors you face in Room 101 CAN be physical. It all just depends on the what the person fears.
