The document compares and contrasts George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" with the actual year 1984. In the novel, party members wore blue overalls and technology included two-way televisions. In contrast, fashion in the real 1984 included leggings, jean jackets and parachute pants, while technology saw the Mac computer and Donkey Kong 3. Both eras had rebellions, though the novel featured "Hate Week" and "Newspeak" while the actual 1984 had the Los Angeles Olympics and "Valley Girl" language. The conclusion notes most differences between the fictional and real versions of 1984.

3. Favorite Similarity
There was rebels. We chose this because
rebels in the year 1984 looked ridiculous.

4. Favorite difference
Our favorite difference was the fashion
because in the book it was very bland but in the
year it was very ... different.

5. Conclusion.
Overall the year and the book were very
different. We thought it was fascinating that it
was very different but in some ways the same.
We thought it was cool how Orwell’s description
of 1984 was very different than the actual year.
