School.

I remember how excited I was walking into middle school for the first time. All of the children were very friendly. That is the difference between middle school and high school. Kids accost their enemies in the hallways while all of this is caught on film, yes, we do have video cameras in our hallways, and cafeteria. Similarly to the novel 1984, the Thought Police monitors all actions of the citizens. Winston, the character mainly focused on, turns his back when the telescreen shows a bleak report on the pig iron. Just like he avoided getting in trouble, I as a senior in high school, traverse through the hallways in between classes as if it were the jungle. I wish as a senior class we could rescind the order to have these cameras in the school. As a student body we are allowed to have personal privacy. Winston writes in the diary from the store. He wrote, "Big Brother is Watching" over and over again, which in his world is considered a crime, but seems silly to us. During school such silly actions are known as "crimes" and resulted in punishment. Such as being late more than once to school- detention. Students should feel ebullient when going to school instead of dreading it, just like Winston should enjoy the life he lives. Hopefully I am not the only one in the school that wants to terminate those cameras.
