In 1984 by George Orwell the character Winston Smith has no control in life over anything. Among the population in the story Winston is just one out of many people who do not know what it's like to control their own life.

Throughout the story Winston lives in a dictator society. It's either one way or no way. The leader Big Brother has no characteristics of a brother. He is mean and very cruel to the people. Winston decides to try to get control of his own life and over throw Big Brother.

During the time Winston is trying to fight to get rid of Big Brother he faces obstacles. One of them is the things Big brother sends people to stop Winston. In one case Big Brother sent people to kill Winston but that failed. No one would want to be told how to do something or even what to do.

Enhancing certain qualities throughout the book is one way the author can keep readers entertained. In 1984, George Orwell uses power struggle as his main topic. When the readers see a character going through a power struggle it may help relate the book to them. It hooks them easier than normal.

All in all in every story or in every life people have to deal with similar problems Winston went through. Also in every case everyone handles the situation differently.
