Who is Big Brother?

Can somebody help me, please? I would like to know who Big Brother is! I’ve heard so much about him since 1984 but I haven’t met him yet. I don’t know if I really dare to meet him either… But I’m so interested to know more about him and I try hard to find out who he is!

My dear friend George O has never been able to see Big Brother either but he has heard him on the radio! George says that Big Brother can always see every step “his” citizens take. He must have very big eyes this guy! George also says that Big Brother wants to hear everything. He must have huge ears this guy! Now I begin to think of the big, nasty Wolf in the story about “Red Little Riding Hood”. But he isn’t a wolf, is he?

I really want to think of Big Brother as a very nice, clever and kind person. He loves us so much so he wants the very best for us, the small citizens. He wants to give us a secure and safe community so we can have a nice and peaceful life. That’s why he needs all this cameras and stuff; he protects us from enemies. He has, all by himself, bought cameras to shops, banks schools, petrol stations and so on. He has also bought traffic-cameras, cameras to the subway and maybe some other cameras too! Big Brother is also very good at registers. He has a large database where he keeps a lot of good information. I can see when I bought bananas, when I visited the bank and when I needed petrol. As a mother to a child in school am I able to see all times my daughter leaves the classroom and visits the toilet. Big Brother has been so clever and placed a camera in the school corridor! He is a nice person, isn’t he?

I have heard different meanings about Big Brother. Those who like him, says he just want to take all the criminals so we other members of the society can feel safe. Some others say that his methods are really dangerous for the personal integrity and the democracy. They are afraid that his registers can come to wrong hands. Somebody told me that two English policemen had sold photos from a probation camera to a newspaper. (there were naked ladies on the photo) I don’t want to think of Big Brother as a silly person, he would never leave things to wrong hands, would he?

When I’m thinking a while, I’m not sure about if I really want to meet and learn to know this Big brother. How about you?

  1. Hi Ewa!

    Thank you so much for a fun blog. I laughed so much. You have really done a good job on this blog. I think this was the hardest blog so far to write but you managed to tackle the subject in a fun way.

    You don´t do many grammatical mistakes, a few misspellings and wrong places in the words e.g. third paragraph, am I- I am, buts that nothing. Your paragraphs is very good, one paragraph- one thought.

    And yes, who is Big brother? I´m not convinced I want to meet him either.

    Good job and see you soon in Karlstad!

  2. Hi Ewa!
    I’m sorry I’m late with my comments on your blog but I have been in Denmark for a week. We had a lovely time in Denmark but now to your blog.

    From my view you have written a very good blog. You start with a question and then you discuss this question in your blog. You have no grammatical problems and your paragraphing is good. Your blog address the chosen topic and it’s easy to read and follow. You have organized the blog in a good way; your title is appropriate, the body follows logically from the thesis statement and your conclusion is logical and complete.

    Moreover, it’s fun to read your blog and I like your link to Little Red Riding Hood. Talking about that Big Brother watches over us; I read in the newspaper a couple of days ago that you can buy a jacket to a child which contains a GPS. Then the parents are able to follow every little step their children take. Is that Big Brother?

    Keep up with your good work the last weeks on this course.
