"On each landing, opposite the lift shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran" (Orwell, 1-2).Although the society in 1984 is very different from the one that we actually live in, there are some similarities. When reading this passage, many people think of the Uncle Sam poster. The large face, eyes, and personal slogan are all features that both posters posses. Orwell is making a statement by drawing connections between his novels world and ours.
